I'm not trying to be pedantic, but I think it is important to ground this broader discussion in actual specifics. I keep hearing all these insane stories of people dying on the streets, which simply doesn't reflect anybody's lived experience.
Of course that's not to say there aren't significant real problems, but the discussion is so hyperbolic and far from reality that it's almost not worth having. This problem underlies both the "universal health care" and the free market absolutists. They're both selling different versions of utopia, which don't exist.
- mikeash 9y agoYou kept the quotes on the search phrase and ignored everything else I wrote? You’re not arguing in good faith here.
- leifaffles 9y agoOh brother. I didn't ignore everything else you wrote. You presented hypotheticals and I explained how we need fewer hypotheticals and more grounding in reality.
