distracting us from the biggest social threat of our times: wealth disparity. instead, the public conversations revolve around terrorism, who uses which bathroom, twitter, celebrities, and even health insurance.
Isn't health insurance a wealth disparity issue?
- vkou 10y agoIt is, although the discussion of health insurance centers about various approaches to rearranging deckchairs (When, instead, the entire system should be torn up, and replaced with single player. It's not clear if even doing that will be enough to really save it.)
- clairity 10y agoit's certainly related, but the current political theater to repeal and replace the ACA seems to be an effort to take credit rather than make meaningful improvements. as citizens we shouldn't reward such unproductive behavior with our attention, much less our support.
