  1. Education can now be delivered GLOBALLY at ZERO MARGINAL COST. And hell, many content creators put great stuff out there for free, so the cost of making the education modules themselves is ALSO free. So why do we have to spend $10,000/year on every single fucking student, when they could learn EVERYTHING NEEDED FOR COLLEGE ENTRANCE and 90% of college education, itself, for NOTHING? It's ridiculous! Education shouldn't be free. Education IS free! And people are figuring that out. These brick-and-mortar institutions are obsolete, except for the high-dollar apparatus in big engineering schools and medical schools. Virtually ALL THE REST OF IT IS THERE FOR THE PRICE OF A MOUSE CLICK! Public education is a HUGE scam, and unless you want to play Russian roulette with the people running those institutions, hoping against hope that they will NOT indoctrinate your kids into Hitler/Lenin Youth, Progressives - GOOD Progressives - should campaign AGAINST public education. You're IDIOTS to think government is providing the service you think it is. And although MOST educators try to do the right thing, you're basically handing the government a loaded gun and begging it to point it at your head, when you send your kids to state-run schools. You guys are locked into this mythical 19th-Century world view, and it's the 21st Century, already. Central control and administration of KEY human products and services should be avoided at every turn. But you jerks just look for MORE things for the bureaucrats and power-mad robber barons to take over and run "for us." It's NEVER "for us." It's always "to us." Seems great, but it's just a can full of worm-eaten and spoiled SPAM.

  2. You're cherry-picking your numbers on "health care outcomes." But beyond that, don't criticize capitalism for the failures of our own, essentially fascist setup in health care, today, where government decides what gets paid for and how much is paid. Insurance companies assholes? Sure. But why? Because government's the biggest player, and when they decide to pay $90 on a $100 service, the hospitals overcharge the insured patients to make up the difference. Most folks would chip in, voluntarily, if and when asked. But you want to bureaucratize it, so all those decisions are made by a small number of higher-ups in the medical field who are INSTANTLY targeted by the fat cats. Do insurance companies gouge? Sure. But why? For profit? Surely. But if they could still make a profit charging less, then a competitor would undercut their rates and they'd lose their ass. But when the government can (and does) step in at the drop of a hat and decide what will or will not be covered, and all the fat cats in government and big medical, big pharma and big insurance sit down and decide amongst themselves what they ALL need, well, they ALL get taken care of, and we, the people, just pay a higher price for EVERYTHING. And when the gummint can step in at any time and declare this or that treatment WILL be covered, if the insurance company doesn't have a HUGE rainy-day fund, they can go belly-up. No. The best, albeit imperfect, answer, is to let the market and humans WORK. Every progressive idea has at its heart the giving up of responsibility and authority to government and that never ends well. You're just too shortsighted to see it, because you just see the money on the one hand and the need on the other, et voila! Take the money and serve the need. BY FORCE. Idiots. You're just setting the people up to be taken down by the greediest and most sociopathic among us.

  3. Take out the profit motive, you destroy the quality of the product or service, you ninnies. Everything government takes over gets more expensive and lower quality over time. Free markets aren't the problem with health care in our nation, today. The biggest player in health care is - and has been for DECADES - the U.S. Government! You idiots want to put bureaucrats between citizens and health care they receive and you seem to think that's going to turn out good, when it hasn't EVER turned out good. I get that you're well-intentioned, but you two are weak on history. Bismarck took over health and the Nazis took that AND a total takeover of education, and controlled the populace, and even WEAPONIZED the populace against, oh, I dunno, maybe JEWS? Make it a taxpayer-paid thing and when the government does its rationing (and bloats itself on taxpayer largesse), they will INEVITABLY start targeting fat people, drug users, smokers, drinkers.... for shame, censure, and even lynchings, as the public sees things going to shit and the government dishes up another group to be targeted as parasites. Freedom isn't perfect. It's only the best. And you Progressives think that because it's "your idea," that suddenly the bureaucrats and government officials will be enlightened THIS time, when history shows that's NEVER how it works out. You want people prosperous. That's the key. The gap between high and low income doesn't matter. What matters is how well off - objectively - the poorest of us are, and their ability to use a little elbow grease to improve their OWN situation. You can make a case for local safety nets to the extent that the localities can afford or have the will to support. But JUST when you're showing how wise you are to the bullshit Deep State and our imperialistic ways, you argue for these SAME clowns to run our health care and education? You're the agents of your own enslavement. And now, more than ever before in history, access to education has NEVER BEEN CHEAPER, and yet you want to throw more and more money at legacy institutions that just get more and more expensive and turn out more and more ignorant citizens. The evidence is plain. Apply what you know about false flag gaslighting neocons on the foreign policy front, and apply that same understanding to DOMESTIC policy! They're the same power-mad assholes in ALL areas of government, and the BEST we can do is minimize the harm they can do to all of us at the same time. That's where Jimmy and Tim are ignorant. Some sort of BASE health care, like free checkups, preventive care, and the like, make sense. But the farther it gets between the people paying for what is received, the more you break down the connection between personal responsibility and personal authority. You give health care to the gummint and you get what the gummint thinks you should have. Not what you or your family or your neighbors or your community think is needed. Progressives are like farmers who see a little bug spray helped the crop, so 10 times the pesticides will be 10 times better, right? And at the same time, you destroy the engine of prosperity that has you dreaming such hifalutin' dreams about all the good you could do. Sustainability is where it's at, and just being able to use the might and wealth of government to fix a symptom makes you think that all problems can and should be fixed that way. The world - humanity - doesn't work that way. You've got to HAVE the wealth in order to redistribute it. Progressive policies are hard to argue against because they can always point to immediate winners, chosen by government, to parade in front of us, but nobody notices the guy who was just getting by on his own, with aspirations of upward mobility, who gets CRUSHED by all the rules, regs, and disempowerment (not to mention loss of VOLUNTARY COMMUNITY) that are part and parcel of using government force to "fix" human problems. Human problems are fixed by the humans immediately concerned, and NOT by burea ucrats, technocrats and other unelected sons of bitches whose careers DEPEND on the persistence and growth of the problems we "hire them" to solve. This is why Democrat-run cities are crushed by debt and more and more neighborhoods are permanent and growing shit-holes. You guys are part of the problem. Libertarian-leaning people want government fucking up the international AND national scene LESS. Progressives have this weird blind spot. The same SOBs you hate in the military industrial complex are ALSO the ones running all the fucking regulatory agencies. EPA will fine you $50,000 for cleaning up the trash-filled vacant lot, next door, voluntarily, or shut down you business for a minor infraction, while protecting the Monsantos and the General Electrics for doing much worse, because once those agencies are created, they're INSTANTLY THE PAWNS of the fat cats. Neither of you guys are smart enough to understand what a UNICORN MED4ALL is. Who could be against it? Only someone who understands history and human nature. I love Progressives for their heart, but I despise them for their ignorance. And what makes you think the UK's health care is all that great? Whether your kid (or you) lives or dies is decided by some motherfucking technocrat with a spreadsheet. And you KNOW that dude's family gets extra-special good treatment. We see this shit all the time in EVERY government "help" program. The insiders get better deals than ever before and the people on the fringe get kicked to the curb even more forcibly than ever, PLUS you cripple the ability of ALL the people who were getting by on their OWN hook, because all you think about are the helpless ones. The end result is that the people who were JUST on the cusp of being middle class (which means better off than kings and queens of 200 years ago, by the way, thanks to capitalism) are helpless. Why do you think the Yellow Vests are marching all over France? The promises never match up with reality. They're just good intentions, you saps. Progressives are like Lenny Small in "Of Mice and Men." You just want to hug everybody, and stroke their hair, right? What could go wrong? Well, you matched your good intentions with the might of government and you CRUSH PEOPLE, without meaning to, You crush their ability to fend for themselves, yet somehow think that a government comprised of their contributions can somehow do what they cannot, while you give them 30 cents on every dollar you take from them. And in the former Soviet Union, ALL the medical talent fled the field. Sure you're guaranteed the care, but you're at the end of a LONG fucking line and you get whatever they DECIDE you're gonna get. In a free market, you get better care for MOST, because of competition. And you have much more flex for helping the poor by voluntarily beefing up YOUR community's hospitals. In a society where all that shit is "gummint's job," nobody gives a shit and nobody takes responsibility for helping the local hospital. But you make a STATUS SYMBOL for your community and the members who chip in the most, because the COMMUNITY takes PRIDE in their health care. Progressive policies: The "good" done can be demonstrated anecdotally, but the HARM done is more diffuse. You just notice, over time, that shit works less and less well. And all the money you want to spend on your high ideals requires ever-expanding population and revenue, which is the REAL reason we're destroying the ecosystem. People left to their own devices will dial back the # of children they have, NATURALLY. But they've got to raise themselves up to that point on their own. Try and understand.
