Healthy food is affordable. As for going to the gym, there are two issues there regarding the left. 1. The left shut them down during covid saying the were not essential. Those people said you don't need a gym to stay healthy 2. Those saying you need a gym to stay healthy are contradicting themselves because of covid. So is a gym essential or not?
2
No it it not. Many are diabetic and do not live healthy lifestyles. It does not cost that much to live a healthy lifestyle.
2
@johnsayles8032 I agree some are born with it, so we should help them, not some lazy person who refuses to stay healthy,.

I would love to go on Mike's show and put him in his place. I know how exactly a debate between me and him will end. It will end with him calling me names.
1
@LittleAl016 how will it end?
1
@Kiljaedenas easy, many. Covid, racism, economics, progressive "policies" such as "free college" or M4A, etc. Foreign affairs is the one area I typically stay away from. In fact, I can debate you if you want. I know how it will most likely end. With name calling and you running away. Mike will do the same.
1
@fedexpress14 Have yet to see Mike take in calls.
1
@LittleAl016 don't see the link bud.
1
@LittleAl016 what is the point of that video?
1
@radaro.9682 Mike admitted that he will just resort to name calling as opposed to having a discussion. Watch his videos, the cursing is lame.
1
@Kiljaedenas Ok, we can discuss M4A. You bring up Canada's system and why it won't work in the US. To start, you have to factor in culture. The culture in the US is different compared to Canada. When I was pursuing my MBA one course I took was an international business course. Over 70% of the class was about culture. Why? Because that played a big role in how a nation's economy and society functions. Next, Canada has many issues they deal with in healthcare. For example, people have died in Canada waiting for "elective" heart surgery. Now granted, some were old, but overall the Canadian system will label some form of healthcare as elective and make people wait including some forms of heart surgery. Not saying the US system is perfect and does not need reform. I support reform, but I support reform based on our culture and not compared to what other nations do that have flaws.
1
@Kiljaedenas also, not saying the Canadian system is bad, what I am saying is that it will not work in our nation for several reasons.
1
@chieferik7964 if you price the cap of anything it leads to lower supply. Take your for example. If government were to come in and say you can't get paid more than $10/hr no matter what, will you work any harder? Look up rent control for a great example on that.
1
@lordandmaster14 who is Sam?
1
@fedexpress14 ok, contact him. I want to have a discussion.
1
@lordandmaster14 when did Sam Seder put me in my place?
1
@Mydogslove2laugh the Majority Report won't take my calls.
1
@Kiljaedenas so is that it?

@UCLbNjVnsaYG6leeaPhHarYA healthcare is very much a business arrangement, and culture plays a big role. Good or bad but the US has has a high score in individualism, it is a score of 91 in the Hofstede cultural dimension. We are simply a more individualistic nation. Healthcare is not a human right. You are making an emotional argument there. If you make it a human right you are supporting slavery. "69% of Americans support Medicare for Al" So if 69% supported slavery would you agree with them? " When it comes to procedures that are essential for saving a life" Define that. As I said, many people in Canada die waiting for "elective" hearth surgery. What may be "elective' to you is life saving to others. Covid really exposed that. During covid patients with covid were favored over other patients and as a result cancer screenings went down leading to deaths there. Personal therapy went down leading to increase in substance abuse and deaths there. Fact is that in healthcare resources are limited and something has to give. During covid patients with covid were favored over others leading to deaths. Same in Canada in where they labeled some forms of healthcare as "elective" leading to deaths. " the doctors get you into the ER and save you." In the US no one is denied care at the ER. They may be billed later but they do not have to pay. A big reason why healthcare is so expensive in the US is because, legally, no one is denied care if they go to the ER. Many cannot pay and thus the hospitals have to pick up the tap somehow, so they raise prices elsewhere. In many ways the US does have a system very similar to Canada and it is why the cost is so high. I have my anecdotal stories regarding healthcare. I agree, in the US our system can be improved, but not via M4A. You have to realized a lot of our problems in healthcare in the US is because of government. It is because we have this quasi free market system but a ton of government involvement. We have basically a messed up combination. Now mix in the fact we have around 350 million people and that creates a big mess. You resorting to cursing is proving my point that if I were to have the same debate with Mike that is where he will lead to. In the US we lead the world in access an outcomes in advanced healthcare. That is the fact. Read the book "In Excellent Health" by Dr. Scott Atlas on info on that. Not saying what Canada does bad. There are advantages with their systems. When I had to use healthcare a lot the past year it would have been nice to just use it and not worry about bills. However, on advanced care it becomes a mess and thus that is why other nations trail behind us. But there is an argument to be made should we worry so much about people needing advanced care? That is where culture, again, plays a role.
1
@UCLbNjVnsaYG6leeaPhHarYA "the Canadian system does have its flaws, but it's better in nearly every imaginable aspect than the US system." Not true. And please, don't act like Mike and refrain from curing.
1
@223Drone wow, you know, I was so sure on my ideas. But after you well laid out arguments I am rethinking that.
1
@223Drone well, how am I wrong? Until you give me details in how I am wrong I don't see how I am.
1
@223Drone how do they explain that I am wrong? You simply saying that is not a counter argument. All you are doing is proving I am right at this point.
1
@Kiljaedenas not saying you are swearing at me. You did write swear words. You are going at the level of Mike. I want to keep a civil conversation. As for your comment missing, Youtube seems to be messed up. Maybe we should rally against them.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 how is culture the weakest excuse? Culture drives how societies act. Culture drives how people act in terms of habit, such as how people view health. Take the state of TX, for example. They love football. Don't you think their love of football will lead to more concussions? I bet it does. But their culture accepts it. So right away I squashed your argument of "How does "culture" affect getting healthcare in the first place?" On elective surgery, that is subjective. If I need knee surgery to me that is not elective as a part of my job requires me to be on my feet and active. So I do not care what some bureaucrat thinks. We saw this with covid recently. You had bureaucrats defining what business is "essential" and what aren't. But those that were labeled as "non-essential" opened up because, to those owners who need to make a living, their business is essential. So sorry, but I am not going to listen to you or some outsider who I have zero personal connection with decide the fate of my life. I can give you sources if you want bud. "i can't take your argument about people dying for waiting on elective heart surgery serious when you have shown many times in the past that you don't care if others die if it's not inconvenient to you." It goes both ways. After covid it was revealed that people on the left do not care about other but only politics. As I said, when you decided to say to some business owners they can't make a living it is clear you do not care about the. Or when I was stripped of my life and had to go to the ER and detox twice because of that and people on the left just said "just wear a mask and hang in there, covid will go away soon", I realized you people do not care about other, period.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 how did I make an argument for raising the minimum wage?
1
@j0j0dartiste21 I know who Sam Seder is. funny how my comments got deleted from there months ago and his team do not take my calls. There is a reason why I left that channel.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 "Dude, you have essentially made the argument in the past that we shouldn't need a civil rights act because it's a states right." When did I say that? "You essentially believe that if 69% of a state is ok with slavery then you are ok with that." Never said that. Just saying that claiming that if the majority likes something does not mean it is right. Read all the comments bud.
1
@knavishknight so where did you get your quotes? Leave it to the left to just make things up
1
@Kiljaedenas swearing shows a sign of lack of emotional control and when emotions go up logic and reasoning go down, a big characteristic of the left. How is M4A not slavery? If you make healthcare a right you will have to force doctors to work. Just like we force people to do jury duty.
1
@knavishknight what screenshots?
1
@Kiljaedenas surveys are subjective, not objective. Subjective data has values, but in the end the US leads the world in outcomes in advance care. There are arguments for and against it, but that is the reality. You point to polls but again, that is subjective and based on culture. Ever thought the US places their system on a higher standard? Also, consider this with polls. How many of those people ever experienced something different?
1
@knavishknight uh, what are you talking about? I see you are misquoting me.
1
@fedexpress14 how did I get argued into a corner?
1
@Mydogslove2laugh I was where?
1
@Kiljaedenas "The US was ranked dead last overall in a 2011 survey by them based on 5 different aspects of care," Which surveys? And what aspects of care? I need more info before I make a conclusion.
1
@knavishknight you are misquoting me bud. But whatever, leave it to a leftist to live in a false reality.
1
@Kiljaedenas I believe I know the polling in question. If I recall they admitted the US was number 1 in quality which they are. The US is number 1 in quality and innovation in healthcare. They are also number 1 in access to advance care. They struggle in pricing but there comes the argument on what do us, as a society, value.
1
@prophet7885 are you ready to start a new debate?
1
@prophet7885 ok, will do.
1
@Kiljaedenas actually, it is true. I read the report, they even admitted to leaving out quality in the ranking. They also never ranked innovation where the US is number one. I suggest you read it, I applaud the fact they were honest in their report.
1
@prophet7885 this should be good as you are giving flawed data and claiming I ran away. But we can continue, I love this.
1
@Kiljaedenas when it comes to outcome on advance care the US is number one. We are also number one in access to advance care. And innovation is important. If healthcare is not progressing it is not good. Universal healthcare is great for very basic things like if you have a broken arm, but for advance care such as cancer, heart surgery, etc. it falls behind. There are arguments for and against universal healthcare and same for the US system. That is why it comes down to culture. M4A will fall apart in the US with how large our nation is and our culture.
1
@prophet7885 you want data? I suggested the book "In Excellent Health" by Scott Atlas. Also, I did respond to you in another video, where are you?
1
@prophet7885 " He also claims to have phd, was a substitute for classes like chemistry, claims his economic teachers and the chemistry students agreed with him politically then he changed it to politics not allowed in the classroom, be a scientist in ground-breaking in research, has submitted peer-reviewed papers that we will never know, worked at Amazon to downplay workers who complained of Amazon's labor practices, and who knows what else." Let us see here. 1. I have a PhD in physical chemistry 2. I was a substitute teacher for extra money including being a long term sub for a chemistry class 3. Never said I was an economic teacher 4. I am sure some of my students agreed with me politically. Can't say as I did not talk politics in the classroom 5. I do have peer reviewed papers. Never said my work was ground-breaking 6. I did work at Amazon for extra money in my life. But thanks for showing you know little about me. You see, unlike most leftists I actually get involved in the community and society as opposed to just creating a false reality from home.
1
@prophet7885 also, the fact you know little about me reflects what is written in the book "The Righteous Mind". In that book a study was presented where people on the political left and right gave their position on certain issues. They were then ask to predict what their political opposite would feel. Those on the right did a better job predicting how those on the left felt about political issues. A reason is that those on the right actually get involved with their community and interact with people more compared to those on the left. The left created their reality how the right feels on issues based on what they see on the media where the right see it first hand while interacting with people. This is why so many on the left view the right as racists, bigots, hateful, ignorant, etc. because the media presents the political right that way and those on the left just fall for it as opposed to actually interacting with those on the right.
1
@Kiljaedenas uh, you do know these comments don't take long to write?
1
@j0j0dartiste21 culture plays a huge rule in how a society functions. Again, in my international business course while I pursued my MBA culture was 3/4 of the class. "What is "people in Texas are ok with more concussions" have to do with making healthcare free at the point of service?" Well, it shows that people in TX are willing to take more risk. How about this, the US is number one in obesity compared to other OECD nations. That is because of our culture. Compared to other developed nations we eat out a lot. 40% of the American food dollar is spent eating out compared to around 20% of other nations. That is our culture. As for insurance companies, I have a big problem with how it works now. You are making it seem like I support the current system when I don't. I feel there is value in insurance, but it should be for unplanned emergencies and not all of healthcare. You know, actual insurance.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 I tried calling his show, never got a chance to talk to Sam.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 most can access the advance care. The US has the highest access to advance care.
1
@Kiljaedenas not that many really. Heck, on Tuesday I did not write a comment at all as I was working at a customer site. Chances are next week I won't write much as I will be working. I am taking some time off watching baseball and working at home. And again, these comments do not take long to write.
1
@prophet7885 not seeing it. To be fair I do see the comment count changed from 33 to 34, but the comment is not showing up. Lately, in Youtube some comments are not showing up. I even looked on both my home computer and work computer. Maybe try commenting again?
1
@prophet7885 " the data shows that legal immigrants who lack education, are poor, and have a language barrier contribute more than they get from the government." Yes, legal. I told you I have no problem with legal immigration as they follow the standard to get in. If they are able to follow the standard to get in chances are they will be successful. Just like if someone follows the standard to get into college chances are they will graduate. "ven wanting all non-violent undocumented immigrants currently within the states to become legal residents still doesn't mean I want all immigrants allowed to come in. Try to comprehend that if you can. " Then what is your standard? So you make all undocumented immigrants citizens. And 10 years from now we have more undocumented immigrants, do you make them legal? To me it seems like you have no standards. Also, when you become undocumented it is time for you to leave or get the documentations. If you can't then you need to leave. Follow the current standards. The IRS "estimates". Ok. And again, if they are here illegally they do not pay income taxes. They will only pay a consumption tax. So that is where that estimate comes from. Also, it is more than just taxes. Think of the jobs they take up that Americans can use? Or consider how they do not grow as a person to take on more challenging and productive jobs? You are looking at the flat dollar rate as opposed to other factors. And with income taxes it is the same as welfare, you can't get it if you are hear illegally as you do not have the resources to apply such as a SS number or proof of citizenship. " And on why they aren't deported when data can be collected from them, that's because not everyone is ICE." Sure, but the IRS is supposed to report. Maybe at this point you are showing on poor the federal government is at doing their job. And how am I relying on my feelings? I am explaining to you how you can't just look at money and tax revenue as an indicator as one, there are flaws in such methods and two, there are other factors as well. How about an apartment space they take up that someone else can use? Or a job they take up that someone else can use? Or how where they live they do not have the ability nor desire to improve their living conditions and thus the neighborhood they live ends up being a slum. Several factors. For example, while they may not take in much tax dollars themselves, if they live in a neighborhood that ends up being low income and high crime, how much does that cost society? You need to factor that in. If you are here illegally you are not going to become a doctor, or even a working making a decent wage/salary. You are limited. So it isn't feelings here. In fact, a PEW study says that the average household for an illegal immigrant is 3.1 people at $36,000 a year. These are not people who are going to contribute a lot to a local community and improve it. That cost society money and resources. Look at the big picture and not cherry picked data points. "Someone else: "This is absolutely against the scientific and medical consensus." whyamimrpink78: "Maybe because they are on your side. That's my problem."" When was this? What context? Again, you keep trying to quote me as if you are trying to make me look bad but when you do not give context that makes you look bad. How am I inconsistent? If the local government violates the Constitution then the federal government steps in. The Civil Rights Act was unnecessary as we have the 14th amendment. "When I brought up the Civil Rights Act of 1957 was in effect prior to that intervention, you flipped on that since that would mean you had to accept the Civil Rights Acts. " Nope. Still consistent. The law is unnecessary because of the 14th amendment. " So now, what should the Supreme Court have done to enforce the 14th amendment that the governor was violating?" Easy, say the local government is violating it and tell them to stop. If they don't then they can have the governor or mayor or whatever government official violating the Constitution be removed. If that does not work you then go to force with the military. No Civil Rights Act needed. So where am I not consistent?
1
@Kiljaedenas not that much as of late. In the past sure, but work is picking up. And again, these comments do not take long to write. I enjoy it because I enjoy challenging myself and looking up resources to learn more. Discussion is how we learn more. I don't come here to be a jerk, I come here to engage and learn and also give a viewpoint from the other side.
1
Those born with it need it. The sad thing is that many are unhealthy and take advantage of leftists who love to reward failure.
1
@LittleAl016 I remember that you praise N. Korea as a paradise.
1
He has a point. We have an obesity problem in the US. Covid exposed that greatly. People in the US need to live healthier lifestyles. Leave it to the left to reward being lazy.
1
@bisurker eating healthier is not more expensive. Plenty of healthy food that is affordable. We do not work more. In fact, with more working at home people are working less. And after covid I no longer want to hear it from the left about gyms. The left labeled gyms as non essential in a so call "health crisis" saying there are alternatives. So go with the alternatives bud.
1
@bisurker and using median income is flawed as you are looking at the entire nation. $35,000 is nice in many parts of the nation. And under Trump wages were going up.
1
@LittleAl016 using median income has flaws. $35,000 a year is fine in many parts of the nation. In fact, I lived off of that for years as a graduate student, same with my other colleagues.
1
@bisurker yes, cost of living is going up now. You can thank Biden and the democrats for that.
1
@JanglesPrime999 what pandemic?
1
@j0j0dartiste21 huh?
1
@kurisu7885 "Bud, people who were completely healthy got taken out by Covid" Not true bud.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 $35,000 is fine in many parts of the nation. I was earning $22,000 a year as a graduate student and did well. If you are trying to raise a family off of that that is your mistake. But in rural areas you can do it.
1
@lordandmaster14 people die all the time.
1
@PardonMe_ImDrunk dude, a gym in NJ was being fined for trying to open up. The left purposely destroyed loves for political gains. Congrats.
1
@URFTBOUND4LIFE ever thought why cost of living is higher? Maybe because people are pushing for government to do price control. Do you really think capping the price of insulin will not lead to higher prices in other medications or less insulin? Something has to give. There is no such thing as a free lunch. As for cost of living now, maybe if democrats were not just giving money away to people who are not working prices would not be so high.
1
@jamesoneil1388 people die all the time. I have had people around me I care about die. It is a part of life. Is death something new to you?
1
@j0j0dartiste21 some need a gym. My manager goes to the gym to jog because of allergies. Same when it snows.
1
@kurisu7885 only around 5% of people in the US work more than one job.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 price control either leads to higher prices or lower quality. Something has to give. In a free market those that overcharge for a product people will not buy. The market sets the price.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 how can you run at home? And you can't run on the track when it snows.
1
@onalos1271 healthy food is not that more expensive, if at all. And the percentage of those working multiple jobs is very low. If you are working 80 hours a week on $7.50/hr with a family you really need to reconsider your life as you are the exception, not the norm. But hey, after covid I realized the left does not care about people. They will tell others to hide which means losing their jobs and suffering.
1
@CronoEpsilon after covid the left has zero room to talk about caring about people earning the bare minimum.
1
@djtoxicdhg well, I have a great idea. How about we freak out over the flu and shut down businesses. So while the rich like Pelosi, Newson, etc. live large millions suffer. Sounds like a plan. The left have zero care about people.
1
@sunflower_ace if you read my comments I support giving aid to people who are born with diabetes. I don't like those who are obese and develop diabetes overtime because of their poor actions. Those people make it harder for those who are born with it. Please, read my comments.
1
@kurisu7885 those that live a healthy lifestyle and still develop diabetes are a rarity. That is the point, if the collective group in society were to do their part we would not have to have legislation pushing to cap the price of insulin to begin with. Basically we have a lazy society, that is promoted by the left, and then those same lazy people begging government to make changes.
1
@patrickbrogan8770 well, if you lived a healthy lifestyle you would not get diabetes to begin with.
1
@sunflower_ace diabetes can be managed with proper health.
1
@ericarogers3053 at some point we need to push personal responsibility. Capping a price on insulin is just going to lead to either one, less insulin or two, higher prices elsewhere. This is a problem with they left. They do not promote personal responsibility but instead say government needs to manage certain situations and then wonder why a mess happens.
1
@ericarogers3053 the metrics in deciding to help someone is difficult. This is why I support more local government. With all issues there are objective and subjective variables. With local government you can factor in the subjective variables. With a more local government the local community can decide to help someone or not.
1
@ericarogers3053 I advocate for a limited federal government and more local government.
1
@j0j0dartiste21 "with a more local government you can discriminate and tell anybody that doesn't like it to just pack up and leave." Government can't discriminate. As for people being told to pack up and leave, well, if you don't like a location you have the ability to move, that is one of the beauty of state rights and local governments. Also, if you are not well liked in an area why would you want to keep living there?
1
@ericarogers3053 not really. The more local a government is the more control you have over it.
1
@ericarogers3053 abortions is a very subjective issue and should be left up to the states. And it isn't me saying it, it is the collective community coming to that decision as opposed to some centralized government.
1
@ericarogers3053 no, it is more local government where the people govern themselves. There is a role for government is society. What is that role varies based on local culture. And locally the government serves you more and you can see if government is actually working for you.
1
@brittrugg2676 how am I wrong? And I do have a life. Many left wing channels I do not go on
1
@NationAegis as I said, healthy food is not that expensive. And as for excessive amount of work, less than 5% of people work multiple jobs. You are talking about the rarity, not the norm. Also, a study by Katherine Baicker did Medicaid expansion to those who were poor and while the study showed it made the poor more aware of their poor health habits, it did not change them. So even when they are aware of it, and are better off financially, they do not change. Fact is, people are typically poor because of personal choices they make. Drinking water is essentially free. Buying grapes is cheaper than buy McDonalds. So again, how am I wrong?
1
@patrickbrogan8770 actually, all governments are limited by the Constitution bud.
1
@patrickbrogan8770 do you know what the supremacy clause is? It allows the federal government to manage commerce between states. The federal government is there for two things, deal with foreign affairs and commerce between states. Everything else is left up to the states. For example, many small businesses do not have to follow OSHA laws if they do not operate across state lines.
1
@patrickbrogan8770 the racial wealth gap? Well one, many black families have single moms. That creates a problem. Why are Asians typically better off financially?
1
@patrickbrogan8770 "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." Ok, break it down. Treaties are a part of foreign affairs as in states cannot do treaties, only the federal government can. Also, from Cornell Law School " It prohibits states from interfering with the federal government's exercise of its constitutional powers, and from assuming any functions that are exclusively entrusted to the federal government. It does not, however, allow the federal government to review or veto state laws before they take effect." Basically, what it does is allow the federal government to enforce the Constitution if needed. The Constitution outlines the limits of governments, and if a state government is violating the Constitution the federal government can intervene. But as mentioned in Cornell Law, the federal government cannot veto state laws. " That means, for example, states don’t have the right to allow slavery cuz the 13th amendment reigns supreme. " I agree. "Also, I’m pretty sure it’s small businesses with under a certain amount of workers who are exempt from OSHA laws" That is 100% false. It is similar to the EPA. Watch the movie Tapped, it is about bottle water. In one part of the movie they discussed a bottle company that did not have to follow EPA regulations because they only operated in one state. I worked for a small business and never once did we ever have to follow federal regulations as we did not operate across state lines.
1
@patrickbrogan8770 "Also, many black families have have unmarried parents, not necessarily fatherless homes. Do you think this fact fully explains why black families have 1/10th the median household wealth of white families? " It plays a role. Also, culture plays a role as well. You have to factor that in. Also, 70% of NFL players are black, so is the NFL racist? Or is it just the fact that black individuals are typically better athletes?
1
@patrickbrogan8770 I will give you an example of the limitations of the federal government. During the BLM riots of 2020 Trump wanted to send support to those cities as in sending in federal troops. He could not because the governors and mayors refused. The federal government cannot have the military enforce domestic laws without consent of the governors. Doing so would be the federal government starting a civil war. A similar situation happened during Katrina. Bush wanted to send in troops to help out in New Orleans but the governor delayed in accepting it, so Bush could not. And the media, instead of telling the truth called Bush a racist.
1
@patrickbrogan8770 another example would be education standards. Under Obama Common Core State Standard were created. However, 7 or 8 states said they would not adopt them. They did not have to as in the end states set their K-12 standards. The federal government can't make states do it.
1
@patrickbrogan8770 culture comes from many situations. One is genetics. Others are environmental factors that occur over decades.
1
@patrickbrogan8770 what? How? With war you do know that democrats supported many wars in the past, including recently. With diabetics, how are republicans spitting in the face of them? And why are you diverting the conversation now?
1
@patrickbrogan8770 "Do you think environmental factors in America such as 200+ years of chattel slavery could have anything to do with the racial wealth gap?" No, because again, Asians are wealthy overall and they were essentially slaves in the US. Consider the fact that many people tend to migrate and live with those who are very similar overall. You have places such as China Town in many cities for example. Or go to a locker room of a professional sports team, the blacks typically hang out with the blacks, same with the whites. Slavery ended over 150 years ago. As I said, it take decades to change culture and it has been decades.

@patrickbrogan8770 "well obviously there are rights delegated to the states and areas where the federal authority supersedes state power" Not really. The Constitution limits all governments. Where the federal government gets involved is with foreign affairs, commerce between states, and if a state is violating the Constitution. Some examples 1. If TX were to try to negotiate with Mexico that would not be allowed, that is a foreign affairs issues 2. If one state were to interact with another state where both parties do not agree, such as if AZ were to say to CA that their citizens cannot enter the state of AZ, that would not be allowed 3. If a state were to violated the Constitution, such as having public education but saying only whites can attend, that would not be allowed. In all three cases the federal government would step in. But as I said, there are many situations where the states develop their own laws and the federal government can't do anything.

@patrickbrogan8770 "you seem to have a short memory, because you forgot when I mentioned that Asians in America are well off on average because of more recent immigrants that had the money to come over here from Asia. " Sure, and that goes against the idea that this nation is racist. Also, it goes along with the fact that culture takes decades to adjust. "ou don’t think Black people having literally no money and no rights in America for 200 years, followed by 100 years of being second class citizens, had anything to do with Black people not having as much money as white people today?" Possibly, but how to you change that? To many that is all they know. What do you suggest we do? Look at the NFL, it turned many black individuals into millionaires. Around 16% of them go bankrupt after they are done playing.

@patrickbrogan8770 "but I was just talking about the fact that the supremacy clause and the 10th amendment exist, meaning that there are areas where the feds overrule the states and where the states have their own rights." I agree, and I gave you examples. There are limitations on the federal government when it comes to domestic laws. The federal government can't just send troops in a state and enforce laws.

@patrickbrogan8770 "e. First, more than 70% of Asian people in America are immigrants, and immigrants from overseas tend to be wealthier, since it takes money to migrate here. " I agree, but it goes against the ideas that we are a racist nation. " If you think it takes a few decades to resolve the wealth gap between black and white Americans, considering black people have been second class citizens for much more time than they haven't, you're foolish and naïve." As I said, 70% of NFL players are black, they make millions. So why hasn't the gap been closed on that alone? Because of culture.

@NationAegis 1. Healthy food is still affordable. 2. Fair, 8% work more than one job. That is still a low number. And how many are like me, where I work a second job but it is actually a hobby and not a necessity? 3. Read the study again 4. You cited nothing yourself 5. Ok, what?
