- deregulateMed 5y agoIf you can't afford $8,000, you can always declare bankruptcy. I'm both mocking the healthcare cartels and giving you a genuine solution. Universal healthcare doesn't solve the supply issue.
- zpeti 5y agoIt’s funny how we came up with this amazing new tech, where the owner can access basically all the information in the world in his hands, can listen to music, watch films, basically do anything. I mean Elon basically says it turns humans into cyborgs. And this tech was obviously very expensive, and the rich had huge advantages in keeping it to themselves, I mean why give the poor access to all information in the world right? So the rich just kept smartphones to themselves to get richer and more powerful. Oh wait… what did I get wrong in this story?
