Agree. But that wasn't the goal of the thread. It was to imply red states are bad. But in reality posted the states with the highest minority populations are bad. It's racist narrative only ended up showing how racist it is ... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Food deserts that lead to few options other than the standard american diet (sad diet) is what drives poor health outcomes. Like everything else in commie run urban areas the problem is only getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Pro_Bills Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 13 hours ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: I would argue that educated make fewer bad decisions. I’m in NM with 100 similar people to me. Do they push the adrenaline rush too far? Yup. But they mostly make rational decisions. And guess what? They’re almost all incredibly healthy for their age I hear your argument. I'm extremely healthy compared to my peers while not doing anything special to watch my health other than not smoking or drinking. In addition, no need for any medications. I'd argue there's a significant genetic component to good health as past generations of my family on both sides have with few exceptions lived into their 90's. I think there's always cost and benefit issues when it comes to pooled risk arrangements like health insurance. Some people pay and rarely use it while others are frequent visitors to doctors and hospitals. Personal behavior certainly contributes. But what vices to discourage through payment penalties, like smoking, is subject to many considerations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is mostly because they are poor in the first place. Please don't be the scumbag tries to tie politics to health care usage. And a great many givers are people that aren't poor and aren't democrats, so stop your idiocy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there's a link in this thread showing a vast percentage difference in this regard. so you are incorrect. by takers, i mean the lazy robbers who are getting disability falsely or could easily work rather than living off food stamps, medicaid etc. I presumed we were in agreement in resenting those people. are we not? from a pragmatic viewpoint it's cheaper to pay off even the scumbags than to deal with civil unrest, non? There are certainly very poor and disabled thru no fault of their own. I support a safety net for them as do more D's than R's nationally.

No way, even more lies from the idiots that can't win elections with the truth or lies? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/06/06/john-kerry-proposed-farming-innovation-at-climate-summit-fact-check/70288331007/ Quote In his speech at the AIM for Climate Summit, Kerry said the agriculture industry should focus on innovation to combat climate change. He never suggested farmers should stop growing food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 More hypocrisy from Mr. Heinz Kerry https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230607-10-billion-global-population-unsustainable-us-climate-envoy-kerry-1 "I think you can have a better lifestyle, and you can eat better food “….. ….like this “better food” his wife’s company floods the world with? https://www.eatthis.com/kraft-heinz-worlds-worst-food-company/ “A recent analysis from the global health group World Action on Salt, Sugar & Health (WASSH) looked at five global food producers and found that Kraft Heinz had the highest proportion of "unhealthy" food and drink items” “WASSH found that 82% of the Kraft Heinz products it analyzed would be classified as "unhealthy" under government-endorsed standards.” The ever vigil Democrat Kerry is adding to the obesity issue worldwide, not just the Republicans the op mocked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd be surprised how many Rs are happy to support people who truly can't help themselves, they just resent the myriad of wasteful D policies that incent people not to work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the jobs that will be automated will likely include yours and mine. Who needs surgeons when a computer can do it far better? There is certainly going to be a shift of how work is done, who does it and when. But what that looks like is greatly up in the air. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what that looks like is greatly up in the air. to an extent. it's still garbage in, garbage out to a degree. you still need experts to input algorithms and templates based on current science. even that could eventuallydissappear. despite calladummys statement, it will be much easier to build robots that dig ditches and empty garbage dumpsters. (he's sooooo stupid). Some form of universal income will soon be necessary to avoid civil unrest....btw, universities will adapt and change curriculum to fill need. There's no organized training equivalent for grunt work. And bankers, tommy tomato? They are the masters of the universe as illustrated in the 2008 bailout. they'll take good care of themselves and have the power to.

Remember the old "Better learn to code" AI will code at speeds of 100 programmers and won't need a break. Humans make mistakes, from banking to accounting and even things like practicing medicine. Last I knew my garbage truck has a big arm that does all the work. Ditches been being dug my machines for a long time. Eff. if your into REVCOM.US or the US communist party, you believe politicians can and should be replaces by AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
