I would assume they have access to the same data as USA Today. These moves are made to make people have good feels, not as any actual rebuke. The hilarious part is that the GA legislature immediately withdrew a 38M fuel tax credit so now Delta is paying up for teaching those 13 people a lesson.

Ive actually warmed to the idea of UHC over the last few years. Basically, from my perspective, it just a form of insurance like I have on my car, except for my body. And like car insurance, for the vast majority of the time you pay in, only getting a pay out if something goes sideways. Aside, I wonder what the numbers are for people who pay in their whole live and then have a massive coronary and are dead before they hit the ground (IE: never actually use any of the funds they paid in for their entire lives).

Afaict, literally only life and death situations receive that urgency and that makes sense. For the vast majority of cases its "get in line, chump". I can certainly see the appeal in "free" medical care, hell I want "free" everything and to retire and spend my time day drinking and fishing. But lets not pretend its nirvana.

Ah. Well I don't feel like retelling the entire conversation. Perhaps you can search it out and read it. You can probably zero in on it by searching my name and the term "holy moly". "Look, we cured his leprosy in one day! HUZZAH!" This must mean all the more common and populous ailments are equally solveable! *nodnod* See the conversation about Sweden and Spain(?). TN can probably hook you up with the links.

Whew, bullet dodged? What about unrelenting back pain like was mentioned last time we talked about this? Still tough enough to wait? Its easy to cherry pick "we cured the dude of leprosy by immediately prescribing dapsone, rifampicin, and clofazimine" but you have to look at what the masses will use most frequently.

Why would you turn on the water? Is the mook also on fire?- Politics Princess' Sweet Sixteen
Oh snap, my brain is on fire today! You know how every public building is required by law to have fire suppression sprinklers? Now picture another sprinkler right next to the water sprinkler, but this sprinkler dispenses pepper spray! Mook enters hallway --> flood hallway with pepper spray. Man, I need to patent this stuff before someone ganks me like they did with my net shooting drone idea.- Politics Princess' Sweet Sixteen
I think I have a billion dollar idea...auto-taser turrets. Scene: A crazed gunman is observed on CCTV approaching or breaching the door to the school. An alarm is activated and all students and locked in the classrooms and ordered to shelter in place. Equipped with the finest FLIR and LIDAR, these turrets (with gatling style barrels for multiple shots) would drop from the ceiling of every hallway, autonomously go into search mode, and fire upon anything living until the all clear is sounded.
