This is an echo back to the 70s, when gas prices were high and there were strict controls over Japanese economy cars. Why didn't American manufacturers make smaller cars? Well, "no one wanted them" was the line. Miraculously almost as soon as those same Japanese cars started to be allowed on our streets, suddenly Detroit figured out how to make them and dragged them kicking and screaming into the next eras.

Good companies innovate to keep their customers. Bad companies legislate to keep their customers.

Which one do you think is happening more today?

I'll never forgive OpenAI for making the unordered list a reason to complain about content.

China can live without us. We can't live without them. Go into a Chinese house and remove all the items made in the USA. Now try that in an American house and tell me what's left.

My cousin wore a seatbelt and still died in a car crash. Seatbelts don't work. They also reduce the amount of oxygen drivers get, leading to sleepiness. End seatbelts now!

This is some BS man. He's saying you can fly the Nazi flag because it's "historic". Well, hell, isn't the gay pride flag historic? Good luck getting a definition out of these fucks. If he could write the law he really wanted to write it would say "keep off any flags I don't agree with".

This is kind of a disingenuous take. What do you expect the news to do? Every morning 1 hour of "We are still pre-trial, no new evidence..." What piece of news persists for months and months after it happens, especially something as "self contained" as a murder.

This is so much bullshit:

Witty added that Thompson was "never content with the status quo" and praised the CEO for advocating for ideas that "were aimed at making health care more affordable, more transparent, more intuitive, more compassionate — and more human."

Yeah, fucking sure. Here's what happened under his watch:

  • Emergency Room Visit Denials: In 2021, the company planned to deny insurance payments for non-critical visits to hospital emergency rooms, a move criticized by the American Hospital Association for potentially deterring patients from seeking necessary emergency care.
  • Automated Claim Denials: The company began utilizing artificial intelligence to automate claim denials, raising concerns about the fairness and accuracy of such automated processes in evaluating individual patient claims.
  • Insider Trading Allegations: Thompson faced allegations of insider trading, with reports indicating he sold a significant portion of his shares shortly before a Department of Justice antitrust investigation into UnitedHealth Group became public, leading to a drop in the company's stock price.

This is just lip service by the new boss. They could drop their rates, have more transparent claims process or any one of a hundred moves that THEY could initiate and would not require new legislation. Guess what, since that gets in the way of profit, they won't bother. People are already getting bored of this news cycle. In another week everyone will be talking about something else and UHC will still be raking in profits taken from the wallets of cancer patients.

Actions speak louder than words and I don't see any actions here!

Why did normalfags get censored? Who's comfortable mining content from 4chan but not seeing the word "fag"?

Here's the bad faith argument:

At the moment of creation, God placed some partially decayed metals on the planet to fool the non-believers.

This is basically why the existence of dinosaur bones doesn't bother them either -- they just hand-wave it away.

To anyone struggling in the USA and wondering how to possibly get out, just live like Congress and become rich. Then, money problems are way easier to handle. If you have as much money as a Congressman, you will be equally as unconcerned with them as to the state of our union and you will be able to say things are great with a straight face.

Articles like this strain the credibility of MSNBC with clickbait headlines. This comes from a conversation regarding cheap imports causing a "ECONOMIC bloodbath" in the automotive industry.

I have NO love for Trump, but for the love of God, save your outrage for something else he's going to do other than lament the state of the auto industry.

A more honest headline would be "Trump discusses ECONOMIC bloodbath" "Troubles ahead for American autoworkers says Trump", etc. but of course MSNBC is filled with hacky journalists so they go for maximum outrage, knowing full well that most people only read the headline and that's it.
