Bloomberg: Farmers and machinists are not too bright

[GVF]

Some of us are pretty easy to get along with and will have a beer with just about anyone , Ive even offered to buy you one before .

It seems fitting that you would buy Luth a beer that meshes well with his political discussions.

He would probably just show me on the continuum where it says .. since I have enough money to buy him one , then I should buy everybody in the place one . That would be the recommended positive influence I should have on our society . Lol

Well, it's like this, if you get Luth to the bar, get his tin foil hat off, have the bartender put sports on and not show CNN, then you'd probably have a pretty good time chasing beers with him.

There are ramifications either way. The ramifications of leaving it up to the "free market" are even more terrifying.

I think it more appropriate to leave it to the person and their family.

Outside of this forum or with NGV , I don’t talk politics . So we would have a blast .

We already do that in America. Most oncologists will not aggressively fight cancer in an elderly person.

I can witness to that.

He would be triggered when you pulled up

Ok that might trigger him , and make me have to buy him more than one beer .

Straight shots to start the evening....lol

Have to admit, that would trigger me a tad bit.

If you had a backbone, you would not be triggered.

 

[luthervol]

If you had a backbone, you would not be triggered.

So you're triggered by my being triggered?

 

[UT_VOLS13]

Yes, laughing at you.

 

[luthervol]

Yes, laughing at you.

Just as I laughed at the truck.
So exactly what was your point about the backbone?

That you don't have one. You get upset about things you have no control over or your posts indicate that.

Only Bernie? How about 99% of his voters

People don't always agree with every opinion of their favorite candidate. While I know you can't provide any sort of proof of your claim, I realize YOU just know and don't need any proof

Perhaps but if we're talking about state run care then it can't just be a bottomless well. Isn't that one of those evil entitlements I'm always hearing about?

What about babies born premature or otherwise with problems that will be there the rest of their lives ... many quite expensive? What about some 85 year olds who are more physically fit and productive members of society than a 50 yo? Socialized medicine was the national debate topic my Sr year in HS - the arguments haven't changed. It didn't make sense then; it doesn't make sense now. However, on a positive note euthanasia (by proxy) for Nancy and a bunch of other congressional geriatrics sounds promising.

Insurance behaves in the exact same way. They don't make money by paying claims

You've signed a contract with insurance that legally obligates them to pay valid claims. They arent the arbiter of who deserves the payout based on anything but the coverage and contract. That contract cannot be altered without consent of both parties. So the situation of determining the value of an operation based on age, sex, life threatening or inconvenience doesnt exist as long as it is medically relevant(even some cosmetic is covered). Those metrics are not used with insurance and it's a good thing. With a government system, those metrics can be used and I know for a fact are used in England.

@Purple Tiger
Oncologists not "fighting cancer" as rigorously with the elderly because of age is not entirely accurate without the context of operations/transplants being too cumbersome/deadly for alot of those patients.

If right wing media is digging up things from 4 years ago, that can only mean that Bloomberg is rising in the polls. Even taken at face value, this is pretty old stuff.

BUt I guess it doesn't matter since he has a "D" after his name, amirght?

Wonder where the button is that says "dig hole, plant corn, water, corn grows?"

Imagine being all of that but still can't sell your corn and depend on Government bailouts.
