    The issue is "death by traffic accidents out number deaths by natural disaster".....News flash....there are more deaths per year by traffic accidents than by natural disasters by a very large margin. There being a slightly greater number of traffic deaths compared to natural disasters than other states does not increase your risk in any meaningful way.

    Do you live in a state that expanded Medicaid? Did you bother looking to see if you get a subsidy? Medicaid expansion means a single person can make 50K and get Medicaid. Subsidized insurance means you can pay 100 a month for coverage. Why do you hope the same people who fucked up he process and made the ACA less functional will win? Either you are a liar about your affiliation or are a petulant fool who can not understand issues well enough to place blame correctly.

    What do you mean nothing was created? I have something you need something I give you what you need for an agreed upon price.The thing I have was produced and the need for it gives it value. That is all that is necessary and like C0lo said, it is what the entire service industry and Banking industry is based on.

    The future is Communism! You let AI run the economy and the government commissions the investment in the building of the production plants, then people just get their stuff from the corner store using their pre-determined rations based on the AI computations.

    you righties think being "slaves" to "socialists" like Obama is bad...wait until the first real AI production plant reduces labor costs to nothing and we see a run-away train toward this future where we are dependent on automated production to survive. you either follow the law or die of starvation because you have forgotten how to take care of yourself.

    The GP said "It's not like that state is in any financial trouble or anything". indicating issues with their budget. Bond holders getting screwed is orthogonal to what the GP said and is also part of the risk of investing. If they can find enough retarded people to fund these city bonds and they end up defaulting on them then it is the problem for the investors.
