Glorping Out

@LucisLuvChild @shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen sure, couldnt be the .75 billion dollar healthcare lobby's fault, noooo business always have best interests at heart! have a good day retard

@Gorp_Shit @shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen Sounds like a government granted monopoly problem to me.

The chart notably has no answer (ie. a loop) for those things that are important & no one would be willing to pay unforced

@LucisLuvChild @shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen LMFAO "the only people without access to affordable healthcare are irresponsible" is your take and you want to tell me to grow up? "poor people are just lazy" ass response

Stop. Every responsible adult who is not trapped into a government monopoly has a healthcare provider that they have selected before hand based on economic realities. Your strawman is completely dependent on a) people being idiots b) monopolies being the only affordable choice. My advice to you? Grow up

@LucisLuvChild @shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen the demand is inelastic. it cannot just shrink in response to inflated costs for the same reason you couldn't just decide to stop breathing if someone started charging you money per breath.

@LucisLuvChild @shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen this is just a really stupid thing to try to argue. as a living human being, you will always need access to healthcare, because when the need arises, you are talking about your literal health or whether or not you live or die. you cannot just opt not to buy.

@LucisLuvChild @shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen there are also classes of medications such as insulin which literally do not have generic varieties, there are only brands.

@LucisLuvChild @shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen many prescriptions have no generic. in fact, every new prescription in this country has a 20 year patent before generic versions can be made.

@LucisLuvChild @shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen the patient can't just decide not to buy their medicine when the price goes up.

@LucisLuvChild @shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen and the price signals involved in inelastic demands like healthcare are divorced from demand. if your appendix ruptured tonight you don't get to shop around on emergency abdominal surgery.

@aMoral_Mistake @jongibson335 @LBC I think water batteries are pretty cool Same principle where you store the energy through potential by pumping the water up to a high reservoir then let it fall back down to a lower reservoir and push turbines to collect it

@Gorp_Shit @jongibson335 @LBC A kenetic one, yes. Saw a video about some Chinese company testing it out. The biggest problem with energy storage for renewable energy is making the battery out of materials that are not rare earth metals and have high efficiency. Like, say, kenetic energy batteries.

@JLee2028 @Dexerto Me when the American police use American software to enable abuse: BUT BROWN PEOPLE???? BUT INDIA????

@Dexerto Looks nothing like the other dude...wow. Was this software created in India?

A man is suing a city after being misidentified by AI as a "100% match" to a banned guest and arrested Jason Killinger is now seeking damages for the time he spent in custody

@aMoral_Mistake @jongibson335 @LBC That's a battery

@jongibson335 @LBC I for one prefer the 100 story concrete towers in the middle of the desert that lift 1 ton concrete blocks using excess energy, and dropping them to recycle the power

@LucisLuvChild @shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen You don't understand inelastic demand, do you?

@shrigzillion @ArmedEducator @fawwazanvilen You don’t understand competition, do you?

@K3nB3n @ArtJbing It's just vice signaling

@ArtJbing You not even black tho, do I not understand the list??

Only on X the everything app

@NWBroJaneway @sabatonfan69 9-10 odds youre touching them

@esaagar I forgot you prefer pedophiles

The smell of weed is the smell of death. The pungent odor of civilizational decay Normalizing it is normalizing decline itself

Enough.

@wegw268659 @StickmanMook @ToriatheistTori Leading a political movement materially interested in increasing the prevalence of stochastic violence is totally the same as wearing clothes, you're right.

@Gorp_Shit @StickmanMook @ToriatheistTori Are you a complete retard as well? Both are victim blaming. Which was the point of the comment.

@wegw268659 @StickmanMook @ToriatheistTori Nice false equivalence

@StickmanMook @ToriatheistTori You’re fucking retarded. You’re victim blaming. You’d probably argue that women who want the right to wear whatever they want should be raped, wouldn’t you? Cus you’re a fucking retard.
