      Health insurance literally profits from not helping people as much as possible. I have no idea how anyone can think this is good, unless they profit from it too

      I have excellent private health insurance and I absolutely hate those fuckers… it’s only ‘popular’ in the sense that I’m not dead because I have it.

        And healthcare executives’ wives/husbands. And Healthcare executives’ real estate agents. And if course Healthcare executives’ stock brokers.

      Popular doesn’t mean cool, it means it’s commonplace. A popular option for insurance is privatized/subsidized insurance from your employer. Not because it’s cool, but because it’s the most viable option. Very popular. My employment-based insurance cost 60% less than Marketplace insurance.

        That, and people with coverage are afraid to lose it for something seemingly unknown. The devil you know kind of thing. Not saying that’s a reason to keep it, but it’s one reason why it’s “popular.”

      I feel like it’s thanksgiving and everyone wants the crazy uncle to stop making speeches and just eat his ham and Mac n cheese

        Maaaaan, whys it always gotta be a drunk uncle? Or a crazy uncle??? I’m an uncle, and the only speeches I give on thanksgiving are how the 1993 Super Mario Movie is BETTER than the recent animated one.

        And I’m right!

        Also Charles Martinet was and always has been a TERRIBLE voice for mario. He went from a gruff itailian brooklyn plumber to an accient so over the top, mario is the only one to ever use it.

          I’m so sorry to have to be the one to tell you but, based on your positions, you’re absolutely the crazy uncle. And I wouldn’t be surprised if you were drunk when you watched the 93 Super Mario.
