Here is a wiki source (insert error bars here) discussion of his stance on his work being officially licensed. He thought that use of his work outside of a comic strip would cheapen the value of the strip itself. This was frusterating as a child (who wouldn't want a fucking Hobbes plushy) but now later I can see that it was at the very least a very defensible choice. Compare how people feel about C&H vs something that was commercialized to death like Garfield. Anyway, hope it's useful.
The word rape doesn't show up in that entire article. Must be some kind of mistake. I wonder why that would happen?
100% agree. However, I try to keep in mind that these are real people with real families doing real work in the ineficient system that we've allowed to exist.
Admin and billing would still exist, but it would be savagely curtailed. We now have to account for every insurance agreement between insurance companies and healthcare systems. These can vary on a hospital by hospital basis causing the incredibly complex system of pricing that are currently used. A single payer system would vastly decrease the need for this administrative overhead. Of course this would result in lost jobs, and an honest assessment of M4A would acknowledge this. Bernie Sanders 2016 M4A bill had funding for the workers having to transition jobs during this change if I remember correctly.
A measured response...
Does anyone have a link to this actual speech, whenever I hear something this damning, I assume something is wildly out of context.
Haha! Over my head. Sorry
Cricket shill here. I've had cricket for years, it's affordable and has good perks like free roaming in Mexico and Canada. It's just an MVNO of ATT last I checked, so if ATT went down cricket would too.
I like how you add error bars to your statement. More people should post like that.
I mean we had literally 9 kings to provide strong leadership. MAGA!
Is linked to excess deaths? Technically it could be saving lives at a population scale. I doubt that's the case, but it could be. I'll read the article now and find out.
Edit: it doesn't seem to say anything regarding "normal" auto related deaths. They're focusing on the bullshit designation of an unfinished product as "autopilot",and a (small) subset of specific cases that are particularly aggregious, where there were 5-10 seconds of lead time into an incident. In these cases a person who was paying attention wouldn't have been in the accident.
Also some clarity edits.
