@DropSiteNews Now this is an excellent response. It doesn’t get bogged down like whatever Tucker is doing.

@Porkchop_EXP What I’ve told taxi drivers in Europe every time asked for years — the US is great if you’re rich, tragic for almost everyone else.
English
@Porkchop_EXP I’ve dealt with both American and Dutch systems both for several years as someone with a chronic health condition and I would take the Dutch system every day of the week, while acknowledging the need to advocate for yourself loudly in that system.
English
The Dutch healthcare is affordable because they are ruthless with price-benefit evaluations. If an expensive cancer treatment, for example, offers what they consider “marginal” benefit they won’t offer it (something that might still be standard in Germany or Italy even).

Health insurance for my family of four in the Netherlands is abour €300 per month. The “own risk” which we in the States call “the deductible+out of pocket” is also about €300-400 per year. Basically a rounding error. Health insurance in the Netherlands is so low that I often don’t even include it in my family budgeting at all. Relative to US health insurance costs, it is relatively speaking… free in the Netherlands. A lot of Europeans have no conception of how expensive health insurance is in the US… And most Americans assume that the reason European healthcare is so affordable is because the quality is poor… I know a ton of European residents will chime in on this and claim waiting time this and shitty situation that… as if the US healthcare system is some sort of utopian high-tech luxury resort experience. Did you know that depending on where you are in the US… If you have an emergency… There’s a 10 to 30% chance that you’re going to be picked up and treated by local residents volunteering on their ambulance and rescue squad in that particular area? Many of them awoken from a deep sleep in the middle of the night to rush to their local squad building and rev up their rig to try to get to you quickly. I’m not saying these people are not trained… I would know because I was one of them for a decade… But a big part of the US healthcare system foundation is built on volunteers… It can’t even pay enough to incentivize people to work in EMS full-time as a career. There is no equivalent volunteer medical system in Europe. It is fully professionalized. Anyway back to insurance.. in the US, we’d probably be looking at somewhere between $3000 and $4000 per month for the exact same level of insurance coverage not to mention the deductible would literally be 1000% higher than in the NL. They’re just completely different planets when it comes to health insurance — driven by culture which then informs tax policy.

@IsraeliLibPriv So what, their goal was to simply to injure and scare the shit out of a journalist? This isn’t doing what you think
English
This is the aftermath of an israeli assassination in Tehran. They flew a drone 2500km and into just the right window so they got him without harming his family.
I think if Israel wanted to kill a guy standing in broad daylight, 20km from their border, they would have succeeded.
Lara Bitar@LaraJBitar
This is what it looks like when Israel tries to kill a journalist. RT correspondent Steve Sweeney and cameraman Ali Rida Sbeity are lucky to be alive.

@major_chip @Aella_Girl You’re severely over indexing on your view of normal

@Aella_Girl I'm not implying anything. I'm telling you directly that your desired societal outcomes are harmful to the general public, and your echo chamber prevents you from understanding the average stable person views you that way. One example of many, drug decrim:

On the topic of sex worker rights: one time a guy tried to kidnap (and prob murder) me cause I was a sex worker. They gave him a plea deal for only 5 years (!!!). He accepted.
And then when it came to final sentencing the judge was like 'actually let's just give him 18 months'.

The only explanation was they were trying to kill a journalist. There’s nothing else there.
Hundreds have been killed by Israel in the last several years.

this has been an open secret in tech for years and if you’ve been following my threads you already know where I stand on this
I genuinely believe Palantir was never just a government contractor it was always designed from day 1 to embed itself so deep inside the intelligence & defense apparatus that ripping it out would be like trying to remove the nervous system from a living body
you need to understand how this works on a technical level to really grasp the scale of what I’m describing
Gotham & foundry are data integration platforms that plug into every single information source an organization has, internal databases, intelligence feeds, comms, satellite data, financial transactions, social media…everything gets funneled into a single ontological knowledge graph and here’s the key, once you’ve connected 5y of an intelligence agency’s data or a defense ministry’s operations into Palantir’s architecture you’ve created a technological dependency that is virtually impossible to reverse bc migrating that graph to another system would mean rebuilding the ENTIRE institutional memory of the organization from scratch
I’m telling you this is vendor lock-in at the scale of a nation state & I’m personally convinced it was designed to work exactly this way from the beginning
by the way palantir is just the most visible case, you should know that the same exact playbook is running across the entire deftech ecosystem right now, companies building AI systems for surveillance targeting & predictive intelligence are quietly rotating former employees into regulatory agencies & defense departments
the revolving door between silicon valley & the pentagon has literally become a conveyor belt at this point & I think the boundary between private tech infrastructure and state power is dissolving way faster than anyone wants to acknowledge
and I’ll add something that I believe makes it even more concerning these systems are increasingly autonomous meaning the AI layer is making recommendations that humans inside gvt are rubber stamping without fully understanding the underlying logic
I’m deeply convinced that the most important power shift of this decade is happening in complete silence and I think most people have absolutely no idea, this is the moment where the companies building the tools of governance become indistinguishable from governance itself & believe me by the time the general public figures out what happened the integration will be too deep too complex & too classified to ever be unwound
Dirty Indy 🟥🟧🟨@cobracommanduhr
I am an ex-Palantir executive, and it is factually correct that @PalantirTech intended to take over the US government while heavily funding the effort. Many of my ex-colleagues are now installed inside the USG apparatus. There is a reason the C-suite of $PLTR has me blocked. The enemy is within, and we are currently an occupied nation. 🇺🇸 We basically have a terrorist entity deeply embedding itself into the USG.

@rushicrypto You’re forgetting the Israelis in this picture. Trump is basically irrelevant.

@Chanfernee_Raw @hardin_jus56442 @ChrisMurphyCT it's almost as if it would have been nice to have a deal in place to prevent that and to prevent war…if only such a deal had been negotiated…
English
@hardin_jus56442 @ChrisMurphyCT The main question is if there is a bipartisan consensus on the timetable of a “Nuclear bomb ready” Iran
A fact to mention is both parties have both said they would not allow a nuclear armed Iran
So then we get to point of. Do we wait (Iran gets stronger) or strike now ?
English
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:

You would think the side using precision strikes to minimize civilian harm and follow the laws of war would earn recognition.
You would think the regime firing cluster bombs deliberately targeting cities would face world condemnation.
Instead, we are witnessing moral inversion.

@HillelNeuer What's moral about starting a war of complete choice?

Q: "You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school…but you're the only person in your government saying this…Why are you the only person saying this?" Trump: "Because I just don't know enough about it."
