If an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, one person denying over 80% of insurance claims is a whole lot of eyes, which is a crazy ratio. I don't think your analogy works.

Nation wide, 305 million Americans have health insurance. Over 80% were being denied because of a faulty system these companies refused to fix. That is 244,000,000 people. Two hundred and forty four million people being rejected.

United has 51 million people it """"covers"""", being generous and saying it was only 80% who were getting denied from this system means that's still 40 million 800 thousand people.

All your what ifs already happened because of 2016 btw.

Back when I was in college, people didn't like fluoride because it calcifies the pinneal gland. I assume that rhetoric has only been further exaggerated over the years

What else do you call an unprovoked, politically charged attack?

[-] wolfshadowheart@leminal.space 21 points 8 months ago

Hundreds of thousands of people.

The fact of the matter is that casual gamers and console owners overlap with Facebook and all generic social media.

We know that we only Lemmy are small, so we should try to keep in mind that our understandings and opinions of generic things in the world are the uncommon ones. Madden sells. FIFA sells. Call of Duty sells. Grand Theft Auto sells. Trying to criticize these outside of Lemmy will only result in losing even more faith in the general public, if that was even possible.

Better yet, ask TheOub about Tiananmen.

No where does it say you only get the money if you vote.

Also, it's a response to Musk who did the same thing but more hateful.

It's more about the scripts being given a passover of approval from the CCP. Want your movie in China? Usually, there's some adaptation for the region, no big deal. However, I remember articles coming out about how the movie adaptation may not be accepted if the U.S. version doesn't fit the standard, meaning the U.S. version would have changes made at the suggestion of the CCP.

Sorry for the NYT link, but it has some examples

What's more disappointing is that she had been historically anti-fracking. Tossed all of that out though, I suppose.

On one hand, I get it. To ensure herself a smooth election, keep the funding from your enemy.

On the other hand, fuck man I just want a President with policy that won't destroy the planet.
