How does that make a difference?

The question was "unconditional help", and one answer is "yes, if you can afford to, and want to".

So an enterprising drug-dealer can buy the house for a little baggie, hire the junkie to shovel the sidewalk, and rent it out, now everyone is employed, housed, and the free market actually absorbed the cost. The dealer will pay property ta

It is run by self-motivated humans and it often doesn't work.

Sounds like they trust the game’s anonymity and privacy policies.

Or, live as a solitary hermit and the average person you encounter is almost exactly like you. But how do you know you can trust them after they’ve isolated you from society?

Actually, no, you have to commit a crime to get in. The ride in handcuffs is free-as-in-compulsory.

Programs are watched carefully for embezzlement, not really accountable for positive outcomes.

And then there are people who aren't families, without the knack for conveying a moving story, or exceptionally good in every way but unfair circumstances. Many of these people, and not just the really, really bad nuisance ones people

Or the exact opposite of what you said.

Fair enough, but it is a political topic, and there are different and more confusing slices of the healthcare system exposed to patients than org spending breakdowns. Not sure how many of this thread's comments could hold water if fals

Stop asking so many questions and buy the aspirin.

I don't understand your question or your comments. I have not considered the relevance of execution to this discussion, but I do not see fines and imprisonment as the same categories of punishment/correction at all.

I said it is - I'm not saying it should be.

by cwmoore 2mo ago
No, not really. I’m just questioning the axiomatic statement.

Nice comment, and true enough, but $37 aspirin and similar is a criminal fraud, and so are the laws not treating it for the coercive robbery it is.

Close to the same percent that doesn’t have employer coverage, they’re saying, those too old or ill to work fulltime. I say convert SSA to UBI, set a floor, and let the price of things find a new level with more people in the marketplace:

“We have numbers” is always refreshing, especially in a shell game. Cost of all licensed medical practitioners? Or overweighting incomes of outlier CEO physicians? 25% is a steep tax on health in any case.

Sounds very binary, I don’t see the continuum. More like a steep cliff of shocking betrayal.

I’d guess the downvotes are an aberration of today’s politics, because your account of the history is factually and legally valid. (keyword “restorative”) To me, the idea that incarceration and police use of force is wrong because it is rac

I think there's also the gamified confusion of over how much goes to the physician versus how much goes to administrating orgs and liability coverage.

The solution is NOT to decide on one problem at a time to all agree on solving by incremental compromise, or trust free market competition driving what is in reality a non-free market. Most patients never file a lawsuit, even if things don&

Isn't it more in line with what would be the natural climate's non-irrigated state? Low density in deserts everywhere else, and super high in eg. Eastern Kansas which is far from untouched by industrial agriculture.

Hmm... technology sure seems to create, or at least to expose, a lot of societal problems, and does solve a lot of problems in exchange for a lot of money. Not sure the true rule is as stated.

Sure, again bad apples, but one size fits sentences to the same institution? They are not all of the people ever arrested, or all of the time, or even most, and still the fundamentally medieval violence we orient by.

Probably "fewer", and probably by providing step-up housing for more people to whom it is out of reach.
58.
by cwmoore 2mo ago
Housing is a privilege, not a right, and not a requirement. Except, being a free country, in jail.

This is along the lines I mean. Or when shared households break up, and some stay, some leave, which one should you send to the asylum forever and why not both? Or to jail for the fights they both participated in? What of the deaths by a th

That too. The check of "without due process" did not undo that rebranding or its many modern forms.
