  • What if we were finally able to get insurance companies out of healthcare in the US? Thousands would lose their jobs, but millions would suddenly be able to get care. So much money would be saved, but so many people would suddenly be out of work.

    I don’t know about you, but I hate paying several hundred dollars a month (and 100s or 1000s if I actually get care) to prop up a whole ass middleman between me and my care.

    Anyway, my point is we can’t keep old systems only for the sake of preserving jobs. The guy you’re replying to is short sighted and relying too heavily on a language imitation program, but he’s essentially right about not keeping jobs just because.















  • If there was a way to do this, assault and rape survivors would have already used it to be able to come forward with their experiences (per your example).

    This would have happened long before businesses had to worry about public perception on the Internet.

    I def recommend a book called “so you’ve been publicly shamed”

    It goes over how quickly things online get out of hand, how we used to publicly shame people 100s of years ago until we realized it was cruel and unusual punishment.

    (Don’t get me wrong, we should def shame alt right racists and push them back into their hidey holes)

    Honestly we need more education and emphasis on critical thinking skills. Until then, we’re all at the mercy of the dumbest among us with an Internet connection
