A recent study showed Kaiser had the lowest denial rate of any major insurer, at 7%, versus the industry average of 16%. https://axenehp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/20241218_char... If you live in an

You want better govt, that's great, so do I. I don't think randomly firing workers like it's a video game will accomplish that, however.

Efficiency isn't the number one goal of a democracy. You want pure efficiency, dictatorships are the way to go. But for the most part, the things I expect the SF city government to do, get done. The roads are paved, the schools functio

If not working is so lucrative why don't you try it? I'll tell you this, it's not nearly as pleasant as you think.

A business can become more efficient by focusing on the most profitable customers. The government is not a business, nor should it be. There is plenty of pressure on the organizations to be efficient, the American people never saw a tax cut

He also eviserated 75% of Twitter's market cap. The only metric Twitter is a success is Elon leveraged it to get Trump elected and Trump is now showering him with favors.

I made the exact comment somewhere else in the thread. I can’t believe OP’s article made zero mention of that.

I was hoping to see any mention of large file downloads and uploads. Nevermind the article’s ponderous “I can’t imagine any use case for more than 5GB/s”, that’s a use case today where higher speeds above 5GB/s would be helpful.

That’s true at normal levels of rich. But at Musk levels I’m not so sure. Even Twitter paid off handsomely even though he ran its financials into the ground, because he leveraged it to elect Trump, and immediately became worth $100B more th

I’ve been skeptical of claims that Musk rigged the election, despite Trump basically bragging that he did. I figured he was just trying to “own the libs” and make us get mad over nothing. Since Trump is extremely concerned about election se

I'd rather the government build the houses directly, I'm tired of America's solution to everything is to let middlemen skim huge profits (same issue in health care and education).

What you're calling "left" is center-right in the rest of the developed world. None of those are left leaning. They are all pro-corporate, pro-capitalist, anti-worker "infinite growth forever" media. Some of the jou

If that's your standard, nobody is meticulously fact based. I stand by my statement, I didn't say they were perfect.

So what do you think of all the "DEI" hires in the Trump administration? Or do you think a second-rate alcoholic domestic abusing Fox News host is the best individual on the merits to run the DoD?

The difference was within the margin of error (only a 3% change), which is very inconclusive. That's fine. Making the world a more inclusive place is hard. There's lots of people (see this thread) who clearly believe that certain

That article is not “absolute proof” of anything, it’s just a discussion if blind auditions are the be-all end-all. Your comment is very low quality and unnecessarily hostile. Referring to Black people discussing how to get more minorities

For me, the best DEI successes are the ones that reduce bias without relying on clumsy quotas. Blind auditions in orchestras led to a big jump in women getting hired. Intel’s push to fund scholarships and partner with HBCUs broadened their

I think it’s helpful to distinguish between botched DEI efforts and the broader intent behind DEI. Just because certain organizations implement it clumsily or rely on simplistic quota-filling doesn’t mean the entire idea is inherently flawe

Because Trump was talking about how much he loves tariffs and obviously had no plan to reduce egg prices.

I’ve generally found that overtly biased outlets on the right aren’t a huge source of outrage for me because their spin is so blatant—once I notice the propaganda, it’s easy to tune out. The bigger frustration is knowing how many people tak

Trump put us through Covid lockdown hell. Awfully strange to re-elect the guy responsible for the worst of Covid. What happened with the Colombians was the President said "you cannot land them here in chains and handcuffs" and Tru

Sure, they ruled against the second moratorium, not the first. But it was a close ruling, because it's not as clear as you're making it sound. The CDC has very broad powers during a public health emergency. Not saying I agree with

Working against apartheid in South Africa would also count as "fomenting unrest" so I don't know how useful that metric is. Even what you linked is basically equivalent to the US projecting soft power and pro-capitalist senti

The Reorganization Act of 1939 lapsed after 2 years. Trump would need a new Congressional Reorganization Act to do what he's doing with DOGE.

Clearly illegal? The CDC temporary eviction moratorium went to our conservative Supreme Court and they ruled 5-4 in the CDC's favor. Maybe based on the fact we were dealing with a worldwide pandemic.

Look at the comments. It's only been two weeks, and people are already tired of members of Congress running to the media after Musk does something illegal. They want these members to force the police to arrest them on behalf of Musk. I

Biden governed far too much as a center-right President, I agree. Meanwhile Trump had those same billionaires with front row seats at his coronation. So the situation will continue to get much worse. But all of this has nothing to do with t
