They are leading questions. You're assumptions about single-payer, based on what you think "some politicians" said, are baked into your questions. Again, there exists hybrid systems. Take a look at Spain or Australia. Canada

I used to work at a med school, and often I would be in the classroom. Once the Dean gave a presentation over the true cost of healthcare in the US. What was his final conclusion to the class? No one knows the true cost of healthcare. I

Private or not, the kind of attitudes shown in the group are directly associated with their employment and the people they interact with through that. They condemned their own integrity when the individuals decided to engage in such awful b

This is probably one of the more sound takes on both ThinkSpot and the right way to address what is happening on these massive platforms. Thanks for this.

The China stuff aside, I wish I had time to address all of the points made in this comment in full. Frankly it's a severely misleading explanation that edges very close to misinformation. Quoting the grandparent comment exactly, the US

This still comes back to a means test of some variety. For your example with vehicles, if you possess the means to not require a large vehicle (such as being single or having a small family), then you would obviously be allocated the smal

It appears to me that you're referring to the means testing part of government assistance, which doesn't have much to do with the parent comment. In addition, I'm curious in what ways is this source biased? I'm not sure

This might not be a popular take, but I think there is a serious issue with the way we perceive education, at least in the US. A previous comment noted how this needs to be a business decision, and it appears to me that's precisely the

I understand and I do not doubt that those people exist. However, they don't make up all credit card holders. There are still people who use a credit card rarely or only for emergencies. Further, pointing out the distinction between th

Sorry, but this thread does not "strongly debunk" the headline by any means. This is pure nitpicking, or trying to center on what does "struggling" to cover a cost really mean. The data is still sound, whether you think

Going the independent route as a musician doesn't necessarily mean they'll successfully monetize their music. While more artists are doing this, there's still a lot of the old "looking to get signed" mentality. I ag

Have you considered some of the landlord's actions might not have been illegal? Anyone from the UK that can chime in on this? Is there an authority responsible for this?

Why? I agree some of the actions are taking it too far, but this part is not that far-fetched. It happens.

Not everyone has the freedom/opportunity to pick and choose jobs they like, and even if they did, that doesn't mean Amazon should treat their workers terribly.

It appears to me that a lot of the responses to this are missing two very important key points this short post illuminates. 1. Self-checkouts have become another a way to diminish the power of the strike. 2. It's not really automation.

I'm not so sure that saying the concept of a credit score is racist is quite the same as saying credit scores perpetuate and reflect racial injustice/inequalities. Moreover, the article you cited isn't simply making moral cla
