This will lead to one of two things 1. People with good credit scores will see their rates go up to make up for the difference. or 2. Credit card companies will deny credit cards to people who have bad credits making their life worse off. This is another example of the far left having good intention with bad results.

Credit cards will simply give out less credit cards. That harm low income people looking to move up as no one will be willing to take a risk on them. Or credit card companies will raise rates on others who have better credit scores.

Overall, this shows how ignorant these two are at economics. But what do you expect from someone who does not know what a garbage disposal is.

I watched it. Shapiro did very well here. Push away our bias and listen to how foolish that "journalist" was. Saying that right wing ideas will bring us back to the "dark ages" is foolish.
3
The entire video was that "journalist" trying to smear Shapiro which did not work. Instead of having a civil, and intelligent education on the issues he was trying to attack Shapiro as opposed to having a discussion with him. That is the problem we have in this nation. We refuse to have discussion, we just want to berate people we disagree with.

Shapiro wasn't in the wrong

@Thomas Dendtler , better to have something than nothing. Bernie wants poor people to have no chance.
2
Fact is that this is what the far left has anymore. No real discussions, just smears.
2
@AdamSmith-gs2dv , Bernie and AOC are economic illiterates.

@Pravdacz-tp8zu , Shapiro actually had debates with Warren while in law school.

The "journalist" was clearly bias. He was calling Shapiro's and the right's ideas to be leading us back to the dark ages. Right away that is showing that journalist has no desire to listen to Shapiro. The "journalist" said the right has no ideas when they do. He is saying that the right has no plan to progress our nation which isn't true. Just because they are not pushing radical ideas does not mean they don't have ideas. The "journalist" talked about the titles of Youtube videos not put out by Shapiro as if Shapiro approved of them. He is blaming Shapiro for something he didn't do. Shapiro has pushed for a civil conversation many times and have reached out for the other side where this "journalist" is calling Shapiro's ideas as leading us to the dark ages. Shapiro did very well in this interview. You, as a far leftist, won't see that.

@bruceleeroy8302 , The Rational National is a fool. He has no clue what he is talking about.

@TriViuM2k22 , what "facts and logic"?

@javierchamorro8988 , calling the new abortion law, or being pro life, as being "barbaric" is the problem. You may disagree with the law but how does it take us back to the dark ages? The phrasing of the question was the issue. That was the problem Shapiro had. I bet he would be more than willing to answer the question if the "journalist" did not phrase it as such. Andrew Neil is "right wing"? I don't know him much but he claimed that Medicare for All was popular when a lot of evidence claims that it isn't . Shapiro was asked very biased and loaded questions. That is the best that left has to offer. They have no morals. It is no different than how the far left treated Kavanaugh.
1
@markhaus , when you ask a loaded question why answer it? The "journalist" called anti-abortion laws barbaric. Immediately you can't take that person seriously
1
@Elliott_Elliott , the questions were loaded and designed to attack Ben. That is the problem.
1
@lipalpatineli5646 , why do you berate people with mental problems? I find that to be very myopic of you. to answer your question yes, I do have a mental problem. I take a medication for it. That does not mean I can't be intelligent nor lead a successful life. Many do. In fact, a reason why it took so long to diagnose my mental issues was that my intellectual baseline was so high that I was able to live with it for so long and was able to become a PhD candidate. You should study mental issues more. Maybe you will know that using it as an insult is not wise.
1
@jordanmercier3616 , the problem is that Neill was not being civil. He was equating ideas on the right as barbaric and leading us to the dark ages. It actually supported what Shapiro was saying and a problem that has been going on for years now. Many people feel their ideas are good and other ideas are evil. So passing an anti abortion law will lead us to the dark ages? That dismisses any discussion and that is what Shapiro is talking about. Or saying that the right has no ideas. That is saying that the right is not putting forth effort to improve our nation when they are. He took no time to find out what. That is the divide we have in this nation and it is the problem. It is "my side is morally correct and the other side is evil". You see it really bad on the left and that interview is a great example of it.
1
C W , wow, another childish comment by you. Moving on.
1
@doctorfeinstone6524 , I never said leftists were evil. But when you have Neill framing the new abortion law as barbaric, or you have people like Bernie Sanders claiming that republicans' healthcare proposal will lead to more deaths, or when gun control advocates say that pro gun people have blood on their hands, that really prevents a civil, and productive discussion.
1
C W , remember, you berate people mental disorders. As for that 45,000 there are several arguments against it. One, what study from other nations do you have to compare that too? Nothing. So you can't say if that 45,000 is high, low, or the norm. Up to 7000 die a year in Australia waiting for "elective surgery" https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/hospitals/elective-surgery-waiting-times-2017-18/data Go to the data, download the excel sheet and go to T 2.1 Also, those 45,000 who die are poor and bad health is associated with being poor as Katherine Baicker pointed out. There are higher rates of obesity, type II diabetes and smoking with the poor, all self inflicted. So the question becomes do they die due to lack of access or due to being in bad health to begin with? In a paper where she was a lead author on when patients were given access to Medicaid their physical health did not improve. Why? That is because of poor life style choices. Even with access to healthcare their risk of death was high https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1212321 Also, in the book "Being Mortal" the author there describes how people point to modern medicine to live another 5 or 10 years when they may live only another 5 or 10 months. Thus if those 45,000 receive care and live a few more months in pain and agony and costing their family a lot of money along with using up limited resources in the healthcare industry, is that a success? You see, I can take you "fact" and go deeper as opposed to just calling someone names.
1
@jordanmercier3616 , I don't know Neill, but the reality is that he "asked" a loaded and bias question to set a tone to smear Shapiro. And how is the US farther right? I can easily argue that it isn't and I can easily argue that many of our current politicians are far left in the US.
1
@javierchamorro8988 , I don't see it as barbaric as abortion is, arguably murder. So if we place a murderer in jail for 30 years is that barbaric? Not saying I agree with the law, just saying I don't see how it is barbaric and will lead us to the dark ages where the dark ages involved many things. What were abortion laws like in the dark ages? As for a miscarriage, she wont' be jailed for that. He said that law was barbaric which sets the tone of if Ben supports it than he is barbaric, or if he doesn't than it questions his pro life stance. I, myself, support a state in passing that law on the grounds of state rights. Does that make be barbaric? You can't frame a question like that and expect to be taken seriously. You may say people have legit concerns in what is written, but to call it barbaric is not being an honest character. I never said people who disagree with me are far left. I know many people who will disagree with me and lean left. The problem is that many on the left are far left in that they refuse to listen to the other side and label the other side as evil. The best example is here, listen to Clinton's response to this question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy542UgSelQ&t=18s Now listen to Bernie's response to a similar question in a debate, go to the 35 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bapp45Vx0UE&t=2138s Notice the difference? Clinton had numbers and showed that he understood the challenges a business faces and that his law will increase those challenges. He took the time to understand a law he supported will have opposition and for good reasons. That there are drawbacks to the law. Bernie has never done that. He simply says "it is the law and you have to follow it". He had no desire to try to understand her position as a business owner. That is being far left. I disagreed with Clinton but I respected his approach, thus he is not far left. In relation to this interview with Shapiro to immediately label a law as barbaric is being far left. You are labeling the other side as evil without having a discussion first. I listen to both sides. The problem is that the far left in this country refuses to listen to the other side and we have too many who are far left.
1
@javierchamorro8988 , to start, you don't know my belief in abortion. I never said it was murder. I said it was "arguably murder". Big difference. You never picked my brain on my stance on abortion so you are now just assuming things. Neill said the new law will take us back to the dark ages. I see no difference between saying that and saying they are barbaric. How does the new law take us back to the dark ages? He framed the question in a way to trigger the audience in that the law is inherently bad as opposed to controversial and debatable. He is not being honest at that point. You can't have a discussion with a dishonest person. I bash the far left, not the left. If you pick my brain you will see that I support many ideas on the left. The issue is that the far left just berates and smears their opponents. Saying a law will take us back to the dark ages is doing just that. Or how the left smeared Kavanaugh. Or how the left reacted in the Smollet incident and so on. Aren't businesses ran by people? Those business owners are not the "ultra rich" as Bernie says. That one lady did not have healthcare insurance herself. Also, most businesses do care about the people as well. That lady wanted to offer her customers a good product at a low price. She does not want to raise prices on her customers. To say that those three only care about businesses and not people is foolish. And to say Bernie cares about people is foolish. Why doesn't he try to understand the other side's position? Why didn't he take the time and try to understand how businesses and business owners (people) will be harmed? He didn't. Why? Because he doesn't care. Why should a business be forced to pay healthcare to begin with? The business simply offers workers a job. They don't have to take it. You are making it sound like that a business is holding a gun to the workers head and forcing them to work there when they aren't. You really don't know the relationship between that business owner and the workers. Their relationship may be very strong and simply due to the market she can't afford healthcare insurance where many business models can't. She asked Bernie that question because Bernie supported a law that placed restrictions on her business and while doing so he did not consider her side of the issue. It showed he does not care. As for saying she can go out of business, you are literally saying that almost every hair saloon, except those ran by large corporations, should go out of business. The market has it that hair saloons have very low profit margins. That is not her fault, that is how the market is. Your statement there, not to be rude, displays a high level of ignorance and is shallow. But I guess business owners are not people according to you. You will not pay less in healthcare for all. The economics doesn't make sense if you say that. I respect Clinton's approach because he was willing to take the time to understand the other side's position. Bernie does not. I can give other examples as well if you want. To progress in this nation we need to listen to both sides fairly. Neill immediately labeling a law as taking us to the dark ages is not that. This kind of behavior is why Trump got elected. The far left refuses to have discussions. They rather berate and smear. You did so yourself in saying that business owner should simply close down without trying to understand how the hair saloon business operates in our market.

@jordanmercier3616 , uh, no. They have different systems but as a whole they are developed and also have many moderate to right leaning systems as well. For example, in Denmark they have more of a flat tax than the US does. The US has one of the most progressive tax codes in the world, even more so than European nations where the top tax bracket in Denmark starts at $55,000, in the US it is around $400,000. A flat tax is a right leaning policy. Same in how they have lower corporate taxes or some nations, like Canada and Norway have more oil production. What makes Bernie far left is that he wants to completely dismantle our current system and completely replace it with left wing ideas as opposed to working with the system we currently have. That is no different than someone wanting to completely do away with Medicare. I don't think we should have ever established Medicare, but we did. Doing away with it is a right wing idea but also, at this point of time, a radical one.
1
@jordanmercier3616 , no, you are missing my point. Those nations are developed like the US is. The US has healthcare that is on par with those nations. To suggest completely changing it is a radical viewpoint. Define "fair share".

@masterofalltrades_ , how is he my prophet? I simply showing that the situation was not as bad as you think. Plus, this seems, at best, the one time you can ridicule Shapiro. Enjoy it while you can I guess.

@vktor5730 , what facts? The interviewer was calling an anti abortion law barbaric and saying that the right has no ideas. He is supporting Shapiro's point. A major problem we have in this nation is that people feel their ideas are correct and moral and the other side's ideas are evil. That is especially true in the left. The interviewer called an anti-abortion law barbaric saying it will take us back into the dark ages. Immediately that is displaying that he has no desire to have a discussion and just wants to label the right as evil. That plants a seed in the audience's mind that the right is pushing for evil things that starts to create a bias towards Shapiro. Shapiro was correct to leave the interview. Push away your bias on that. As for a safe space, Shapiro constantly goes to situations like that. Why doesn't Kyle? And again, what facts were presented?
1
@Dragonited , the law does not say that with a miscarriage. Also, one can argue that abortion is murder. One can also argue they are not controlling women, they are prevent murder. Not saying I agree with the law, just giving you a counter argument. Saying it is barbaric is dismissing the other side without hearing their viewpoint. Compare it to this, I can say Medicare for All under Bernie is fascist as it forces people to quit their jobs, move and find a new one. You see how easy it is to make radical claims? Kyle owns people? I have yet to see it. I have yet to see Kyle use logic as well. Kyle has a handful of talking points and that's it. I can destroy him in a debate easily. No one is afraid of Kyle. The reality is that Kyle is literally a nobody.

@BarryZ883 ,they will have to quit their jobs as private insurance will be banned. Thus those workers will lose their jobs. Medicare for all forces people to 1. Change jobs 2. Pay more in taxes 3. Use the government healthcare system

@copperonfire6618 , research the "inverted pyramid" on why so much is ran on credit.
