>>Additionally, people can opt not to participate with an insurance company (or at least they used to be able to), so they have some motivation to be efficient and provide a basically decent level of service. You have the same backwar

The primary function of insurance companies is to make a profit and serve their investors. These are publicly traded companies and only care about making that dollar; in this case, they make money by denying people healthcare and business

>I'm strongly in favor of legalization, but I still believe Cannabis is dangerous (just like alcohol, tobacco and countless other legal drugs are). Oh, well if you "believe" it is dangerous. What's the LD50 on Cannab

We have plenty of energy supply in the system, we need to optimize our distribution. We only use about 39% of the electricity we generate. I know that seems strange, but it's true. https://c1cleantechnicacom-wpengine.netdna

Keep the humidity in mind if you do this. Out in Saudi it is the desert so evaporative cooling works outstanding. Where I am the humidity often gets up to 100% overnight so you would just be sleeping with a soggy warm sheet all night.

You hit the nail on the head, pure research is not a profitable activity. This is why we can't trust companies and corporations to research.. their motives are almost always profit driven. This only underlines the importance of gover

This is why these corporations lobby/fight so hard to keep the prison industry private. Their profits are obscene, and the only way to keep themselves profitable is to ensure a steady supply of slaves ahem I mean "criminals"

Get rid of private prisons, period. You can even keep the same business model except instead of the profits going to a corporation, the system is run as a non-profit government entity and the workers are actually paid a fair wage. As it is

The US seems to be experiencing more and more instances of "desperate" people in all senses. Desperate for jobs, healthcare, food, shelter, happiness.

Mostly MDMA, LSD. To a lesser extent weed (harder to transport), coke, heroin, etc. They do have actual bad things on these sites as well, such as the aforementioned weapons and people, but this is the subsection that we actually SHOULD be

Your arguments are so baseless and outright ignorant that when I attempt to think about a counter it just makes my brain hurt.. it doesn't matter what points are brought up, you will ignore them all. Have fun being right all the time

I got news for you, buddy, no one cares what you want them to respond with. When you make garbage arguments you will get called out.

It's great to hear that you don't do any drugs at all. I'm assuming you don't drink coffee/tea, wine/beer, smoke, or take any pharmaceutical medications. Congratulations on not being a hypocrite! You are in

From now on I'll be sure to only do things that you personally approve of.

This is exactly right, and the problem that our government just doesn't seem to 'get'. If you want to stop people from doing something, you can't just take away their source, they will find another.. you have to give the

Great idea, never going to happen. Why would they sign up for that when they can just as easily charge full price for those replacement drugs (as they do now)? The only people out there who can change this are making huge profits from the

Sounds like you don't know what you are talking about. Your source is a book written with heavy influence by the Pharmaceutical industry to justify the obscene costs of their drugs, making billions in profits off of sick, poor peopl

Corporations are rational. They care about one thing, dollars. If you are making them money, they will keep you no matter what. If you are not making them money, they will get rid of you. Pretty rational I think.

Great, but that most certainly does not work at all companies. The last company I worked for unequivocally treated their non-management employees like garbage. The company basically had the same management for 10 years prior, with a few &q

Is this organization still around? Have you blown the whistle on them? If not, why not? You have information that could stop these thieves from stealing people's livelihoods.

Because a handle of vodka is cheaper than a visit to the doctor and all the medications you need, and will make you forget about all your problems.

The only greyed out posts I see aren't worth reading anyway. Mostly just ignoring anyone that makes points to counter their arguments, it's like having a conversation with our President.

Management required that you send a group email if you were going to arrive late to work. So when I'm stuck in traffic because of an accident how do I email them? Before you ask, they said no text messages were not acceptable.. their

I lost my job because of "noncompliance" to their demands that they have complete access to my personal phone.

The company I used to work for required that you give them backdoor access to your cell phone if you wanted to check your work email from it. This gave them the ability to factory reset your phone remotely, as well as change your pin/
