I’d like to know has anyone done a risk assessment comparing increased doctor visits due to insurance to a change in mortality rate based on estimates of 275,000 medical malpractice deaths annually? If those medical malpractice deaths are true and accurate are there scenarios in which having medical insurance increases your risk of death? I’ve had one aunt one uncle and a nephew all die due to medical malpractice. My nephew’s case was strong enough that the treating physician is now in prison.

I’m skeptical of the 68,000 number. I think it’s based on motivated reasoning because it’s an unusually high estimate from a relatively small sample when better estimates exist.
Mike from PA@Mike_from_PA

According to a recent study from Yale, there are 68,000 excess deaths per year that can be attributed to people who delay or avoid care because they lack health insurance. What do you attribute their deaths to? Magic? No it is the structure of our healthcare system.

Episode drops Monday :) Also I think it’s important to note Allie believes people (like me and my family) who reject her church’s 4th century creedal formulation of God will be sent to suffer horribly for all eternity. On the other hand Latter-day Saints believe good Christians like Allie will be received into a kingdom of glory in one of Gods many mansions akin to the kind of heaven she already envisions. When speaking to Protestant audiences in Washington in 1840 Joseph taught that "all who would follow the precepts of the Bible, whether Mormon or not, would assuredly be saved."
Allie Beth Stuckey@conservmillen

I had a lively conversation with Jacob Hansen about mormonism, the Trinity, salvation, and if Humans, Angels, and God are all the same species. Who is eligible for heaven? Is God all-knowing? Can believers become the gods of their own universe? Nothing is off the table. Episode drops Monday. Stay tuned!

Most will answer this the opposite from the button one: Everyone has to privately pull either L or D lever. If more than 50% vote L, nobody's money gets taken. If more than 50% vote D, they still keep their money, but everybody who voted L gets their money taken. How do you vote?

@BlueRepublik Completely irrelevant question... Is the penis attached to a gorrila still or just a random gorilla penis on a wall? Also, gorilla penises are pretty tiny, like 1-2 inches long.

There is a gorilla penis on the wall If you do not suck the gorilla penis, you live If you do suck the gorilla penis, you will die unless 50%+ of all other people suck the gorilla penis
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

But I haven’t seen anything in the Fairtax that proposed redoing the budget. Everything I’ve seen has been a conversion to a consumption tax, but no requirements on adjusting budgets. Debt spending is still a real possibility and tax rates on goods and services are adjusted to meet the government’s demands. That was my big hang up and consideration for what would be more fair, and hold Congress directly accountable. Couple it with repealing the apportionment act, and accountability goes up very quickly. But I haven’t looked at recent fairtax proposals so there could be parts I’m out of touch on.

The FAIRtax collects the revenue, THEN the budget is made. Not the other way around. WE determine how much tax we want to pay. The government (who works for US) then decides how much to put to the good uses.

Example number 1,317,120,802 that government is just really really stupid at what it does and cannot be "wielded properly" The only solution is SEVERELY limiting government (we're talking abolishing taxes, money printing, the empire, most agencies) We are cooked

I disagree. I used to be a fan of the fair tax, but had to seriously reconsider. Now my perspective is such that the only way for taxes to be fair is to require every level that collects taxes (city, county, state, fed, etc) provide a budget by Dec for the following year. Divide the budget by # of tax payers. That’s your taxes. By Dec 31, statements are sent out including an itemization of every penny being spent in the budget. Tax payers payments are due by April 15. That’s it. No exceptions, no exclusions, no subsidies.

@glukianoff There is no threat to free speech on campuses. This is a problem that is made up entirely by the right wing in America. If you want to claim the earth is flat. That’s your right. But you will not be shielded from the ridicule & outrage of your claim. That’s how free markets work

Why does free speech have a “branding problem”? Part of it is simple. Once an institution becomes ideologically one-sided, it stops needing free speech and starts seeing it as a threat. That’s what I watched happen on campuses. A slow-motion train wreck.

@DividendMil As both a design engineer and builder I’ve had to use it, but I could have learned it almost anywhere along the way in my degree path. Personal finance would have been better to learn early in my education.

Apparently everyone on X is a carpenter so I’ll try this again… I’m 42 years old and I never once had to use the quadratic equation in real life… That’s why they should teach personal finance in school instead

Gerrymandering should be illegal period. Can we at least all agree on that? Or is this going to be a left-right issue like everything else seems to be?

As someone who got a teacher's certification alongside my degree in chemistry, the majority of you are ABSOLUTELY smart enough to homeschool your kids. The education classes I took were by far my easiest courses in college.

@crochet_mom314 @SixCatsNow Not only that, but look at literacy rates in America among children who go to school. Some parents fail to educate their children properly, but teachers fail to do so at MUCH higher rates, and it’s THEIR JOB!

@SixCatsNow There are "homeschooling" parents who neglect their duty to educate and their children usually end up in public schools. But the data shows that the majority of homeschooled students perform better on all standardized tests than their public schooled counterparts.
