This is definitely a scene from the animated series 'Scavengers Reign', but I can't find a good full gif of it, here's a YouTube of it though: https://youtu.be/EITdCWYTn2I?si=XkoNizr9VEpv46Ar

When you only converse with other morons.. they tend to not know much.

And you think a private business will do anything more than the minimum of a contract?

No fucking duh it's political, she is an a political post, you are in a political post. Not all politics is bad, some of it is about finding a way to get the government to actually help people in need

The insurance system does not work in the medical field, it would never work because insurance is for managing risks that are unknown, like a house flooding or your car getting hit in an intersection.

In medical "insurance" it is often dealing with known issues, and the insurance system is just not set up to deal with preventative care, annual check ups, mammograms, blood tests, or pre-existing conditions. It would be like trying to use car insurance to pay for an oil change, which is just as ridiculous as it sounds in your head.

That's exactly why the term "insurance" should be used when discussing a single payer system, it's not really insurance, it should be a collective action group that works together with the medical community to find a middle ground where hospitals can still exist and pay wages to their staff, the people can get the medical care they need without getting thrown into poverty for daring to get sick, and the government benefits from having a healthier population as a whole.

Too bad theres way too much money in the short term in keeping this all private, and having a sicker population, so we have decades of insurance company propaganda to work against, and a huge population of people that don't understand that by doing single payer health care your taxes would go up, but you also wouldn't be paying out the nose for medical insurance & medical care (because they don't cover anything). Also think of a world where your health care isn't beholden to your employment, all the different choices you'd make in your life.

He is quite literally saying that he always votes for democrats in the general election, but votes in the republican primary, which is not a real vote for office but a vote to the RNC that signals who to run in the general.

We aren't all fortunate enough to live in a Democrat or battleground district/state, so sometimes the best you can do is try to nudge the RNC to be less crazy while still voting blue in the generals.

Spoken like a short man :P

In all seriousness though, you should thank them for bringing it up, the sooner the better for you to realize what they think matters and if they are shallow about that, there are likely other things as well. So good for you to learn early and move on to someone who will appreciate you as you are.

It's why they ask you to do multiple, 1-2 of them are the control group, they are training on the others
