Define 'crybabies' you used in the title. I don't mind being called a MAGA or whatever you guys use, and when I call you guys the clique, that's one thing, but calling us crybabies takes things to a new and lower level. Looking at a majority of postings by the clique, we're not the crybabies.

#1 - Avoid cases of unprovoked rudeness to others. No place for it here. Yes, with the dynamic nature of the threads and topics, tempers will flare and things will become heated from time to time. You may often encounter individuals who become passionate or emotional when expressing one's opinion or point of view. That's all understood and perfectly acceptable within reason…….but, start slamming or bashing another member and be met with consequences..
Quote:
#3 - Disrespect to others, IN GENERAL, will be considered an item of low tolerance, especially when posting in our coed forums. Follow the Golden Rule and treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. This applies to fellow members as well as staff. We do not require that you have respect for us, but we do require that you treat us respectfully in the public forums. If you feel the need to vent, gripe, or blow off some steam regarding a staff member's action or decision, we ask that you keep it private. Email, RTM, or the PM system would be the appropriate avenue to take in such cases. In cases where you would like to request additional clarity about a staff decision, you are free to pursue an answer in either a public forum or private means of communication. If handled publicly, post your inquiry in a respectful manner.

Half the time. If it's not dead, the power is running out on the device keeping capitalism breathing.

Like the UnitedHealth stock holders, we all just have to wait.
As you know, I'm a strong believer in capitalism. However, if you wanted to make an argument for socialism, you could come up with no better example than health care in America. Although what we've got here is actually capitalism's evil twin sister, crony capitalism. We pay through the wazoo, way more as a % of GDP, than any other developed country, and still have health care outcomes that are worse than places like Costa Rica.

I don't blame the insurance CEO's though. I blame the politicians and the people. Everybody wants his own doctor, cancer treatment that will add two months his life, etc. And they don't want to exercise and eat right. Or protect themselves from COVID and other deadly diseases with hazmat suits.

You're proving my point since the moderators understand direct and indirect definitions.

Keep your on the health of the Health Care industry. Now that many, many people are going to lose their medical entitlements.

Well put, Tiny.

We have had opportunities to fix this. But the system was too far gone to fix it with the bandaids and denuded plan that eventually got passed.

Too many pockets being lined for too many years.

Life support is a generous description, though, in light of what's to come.

Folks aren't going to blame the "system," they want a person to blame and go after. Mob ("herd?") mentality has been kind of the American way for past decade or so.

But I agree with you, man.

And what does that matter, DJ? The system is built on corruption, so if you believe only democrats took money from Big Pharma, you qualify for a DJT secret decoder ring and personal vibrator.

Thanks for FTFY … always a breath of fresh air in an adult conversation.

My point is, that after decades, it isn’t partisan. Unfortunately, some of yall can’t wrap your-brains around that.
