On every single professional sports game I’ve ever seen, every single show, every single channel. Isn’t this our fucking money you’re meant to give out should, god forbid, something happen?

Why is it even legal to do this? Blowing this money on CONSTANT, DUMB fucking little fucking cutesy fucking skits, not even trying to fucking pitch anything anymore, just burning money on TV and laughing at us while the fucking lemur does epic bants. it makes me so fucking sick, these people should be chained in the dungeons for the rest of their lives.

It’s illegal to not have car insurance so why the fuck do they think we need to see this constant fucking microwaved vomit fucking garbage every fucking second every fucking show every fucking channel??

thank you

          And universal health care isn’t insurance so I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

            I don’t see any fundamental difference in this context. A group of individuals pay into a communal fund and access it when in need.

            Some take more than others, but everyone has a safety net to access.

            You could argue about premiums and co-pays but the model is the same. The only difference is whether it is taken out of taxes or paid directly.

            I apologise if we are approaching this from different viewpoints and I am not understanding properly.

              The difference is…

              a publicly traded insurance company is required by the shareholders that fund it to make larger profits, every year, year after year, forever.

              They attempt to achieve this impossible goal of infinite growth by denying more and more claims, while charging more.

              A government program like universal healthcare does not need to deny claims. Universal healthcare serves the voters that voted for it. Not shareholders that push companies to destroy themselves for infinite growth.
