I have read your posts. I know that as a Nationalist Libertarian you do not advocate that drug companies should give their best products out for cheap to anyone whose insurance won't cover it. Because then they would need government subsidies to survive, from taxpayer money most likely.

And that is how freedom dies, right?

I'm not on the right socially so no I don't agree with that. I'm okay with helping people out pro bono.


Just not foreign people who haven't dotted their i's and crossed their t's

So how can a drug company survive financially if they are giving out their product that cheaply?

Call their office and ask them for help with two drugs called Onexton and Benzaclin, because your insurance is threatening not to help cover the 2 grand they're charging. They're famous in this area for helping their patients not have to pay for overcosted drugs.


Cool, now can everyone with this condition do this?

I think everyone should be able to, sure. I've said as much, and if people would get past their dumb trolling and actually read my posts they would have caught that already.

(Not that you're trolling, Jak, you're actually one of the most mature people here which is always nice.)

And the simple fact is that this bill gives a trillion dollar tax cut to rich people, which means that there are a trillion fewer dollars in the system to pay for medical care.


But they'll use that money to create more jobs that have good health care options right?????

But here's the key: now if the Freedom Caucus votes against the more "moderate" Senate bill, they will be the reason that the ACA is still the law of the land, so there's a ton more pressure on them to cave on a half measure when they really want to go back to the pre-ACA medical hellscape.


They cave to such pressure since when

Your friend should see a well-regarded physician who can bully the insurance company and I guarantee he gets the drug he needs.


Which in many cases requires a referral, and then you have to pay for the doctor visit, and fuck, the well-regarded specialty doctors I go to aren't even open on the weekends, so you'll have to take time off work for that.

I'm not saying your idea here is IMPOSSIBLE. I do it myself. But I am privileged to have the flexibility and available cash to do so.

I suppose I should hate him for being a cheating heel, except that's so common in WWE that it doesn't earn any heat from me on its own.


Honestly I feel like WWE doesn't have heels cheat ENOUGH in the modern age.


what

How?

Heels cheat in 95% of their matches, with the exceptions being limited mostly to irrelevant squash matches or matches against guys higher/lower on the card that only happen so someone else can do something post-match. Strowman is practically the only heel that is booked to look like they can win clean over someone that isn't a loser.


How often does Owens cheat? AJ as a heel? Brock (he SHOULD be the exception anyway but still)

Even the MIZ wins clean more often than not. The Miz!

Q: My daughter watches WWE on YT. It's impossible to get her to turn on the Network.

Wilson: We know [YouTube] is where [kids] are discovering brands. We don't worry about "is it cannabilizing?" We view it as a rising tide and we have to be there grow the brand. I'm not saying [YT] is a direct path to pay TV. As we look forward we will figure out what the path is. Our metric is not [just] Nielsen ratings. As long as we're growing total video hours consumed, we're succeeding.

I would say Cesaro or Rollins is better than KO. But that would probably be it.


Those two might have him on in ring work (only slightly) but Owens absolutely massacres them at mic work and especially at playing his character. Then again, he does that to pretty much everyone on the roster so it's not a slight on those guys at all. KO is just on another level.


(For the purposes of this discussion, "North America" means their home promotion is in the US or Canada)

This is an interesting discussion. AJ not being in anyone's Top 2 in North America would be strange, but who is the consensus other one? It doesn't feel "right" to say KO. But then it's hard to argue with results.

KO is living up to every ounce of his talent and that makes him elite. I can't help but feel like Joe's talent is off the charts though, when he is in position to be on top, but he's not right now.

Also don't overlook Aries. I think he's THE 2nd-best in-ring under the WWE umbrella, and while he falls just short of Owens' heel work, he more than makes up for it by being a B-level babyface as well, and Kevin doesn't have that range. Again though, are we judging talent or actual work? Aries is just now gearing back into greatness after his injury.

And then on some level this feels pointless since it's not REALLY a top 2, but rather AJ and then everyone else

Wouldn't it make much more sense to move the bill in the other direction to attempt to pick up centrist Democrats?

Or are they just all too intimidated to ever break rank



Trump himself is the obstacle here - though itbmust be said that this is also a natural consequence of the McConnell/Boehner strategy of resistance at all costs.

What motivation do the Democrats have to help Ryan exactly?


I was assuming the Health Care bill would be conceived in good faith, and reaching across the aisle to make it work goes down a lot easier than appeasing the Freedom Caucus just to pass something
