I think implying that he doesn't support those isn't necessarily in line with his previous statements. He's previously made statements in favor of at least universal healthcare, and it seems incredibly unlikely that he does

That's not in all areas. The closest library to the town I grew up in charged fees for a card (required for both checking out books & computer access), as an example. Further, there are fees almost everywhere else, too: overdue fee

Honestly it is an interesting thing but the extent to which it's being pushed here on a daily basis at the moment feels "inauthentic" and somewhat tiresome. Try posting something else? The front page is populated with links

Rogan and Fridman both ask very shallow questions. I want to see him get grilled by someone familiar with the subject matter. Anything less gets questions about the lowest common denominator.
