What causes are included in that statistic? Food poisoning ? Fires? Knife wounds? And how often do people cook at home vs be exposed to communicable diseases, since the population is largely immunized?
BTW, I am in favor of imunization. I'm not in favor of denying unimmunized children healthcare because their parents did not have them immunized.
Care delayed is care denied. You can't arbitrarily decide the priority for care unless you want to take control of people's lives.
That is the weakest spot in single-payer. Defending the needy, protecting the weak, equal access for all is the right easy.
And putting children at the end of the line because of the bad choices of their parents is almost the worst possible choice. Children are innocent of their parents' decisions.
As I wrote: All legislation is someone's morality.
You seem to believe the State has both authority and responsibility to evaluate your practices raising your children, and should exercise its power to either compel you to raise them a certain way, or when take them from you if they disprove of your practices.
It is important, I think, to consider these policy decisions from a key vantage point - would your opinion change if the State were dominated and controlled by political forces that you did not agree with? More importantly, if you believe that these policies should be enforced because you agree with the political forces that propose them, do you believe that any opposition needs to be silenced, permanently, lest they overturn your choices?
My point isn't that you seem to want a State that is not constitutional in our nation, but that you wish to do unto others that which you probably do not wish done to you.
And for that reason, you should both not do it, and seek to prevent the State from doing it at all.
" that doesn't mean Hollywood is just part of the intelligence apparatus."
You are literally correct, AC. THAT doesn't demonstrate that Hollywood is part of the intelligence apparatus. You would need more evidence, found by looking elsewhere.
Casually watching the autism debate, I see that autism is:
- Now a spectrum, not a syndrome or disease. This has enlarged the affected population, enhancing the power of their advocates and increasing the urgency of finding a solution;
- Being blamed (root cause) on vaccines, diet, environmental effects, technology, with a de-emphasis on genetics and prenatal care.
- Used to describe many more behaviors, hence becoming a 'spectrum', not a syndrome or disease or even a process.
- Described as a growing treat, capable of potentially impacting a majority of the population, being caused by a multitude of toxins, exposures, and behaviors, hence the urgency to find 'a cure'.
This pattern is familiar to me. Have you other/.rs seen this before?
You can't deny coverage in a single-payer system. You just crank up the deductible/copay, for punishment. Accept the consequences of that action or get out of the business of governing.
And those who do not vaccinate are costing us all money in a single-payer system, which is reason to compel vaccination.
Which is reason to decide on a single-payer healthcare system based not on supposed cost savings, nor even charity/indigent care, but on the inevitable loss of individual choice. Remember, those who do not vaccinate their children put their children at risk, but these are THEIR children, not 'ours'. If they want the freedom to choose how to raise their children, they need to accept the responsibility for their actions.
Yes, radical ideas, that you are responsible for your choices, that if you exercise that right you are subject to the consequences and deserve no shelter from them, and that asking the State to impose your choices on others is always an exercise in using force to impose your will.
Californians are sending their alfalfa, and thus their water, to Asia.' Alfalfa growers are now exporting some 100 billion gallons of water a year from this drought-ridden region to the other side of the world in the form of alfalfa. "
Yes, and changing Asian rang habits will not be any rather than changing Californian eating habits.
Is there a difference between someone using their camcorder and someone outfitting a fleet of vehicles with cameras to record your license plate, location, and time/date? Yes - the fleet is able to track you without alerting you so easily.
Should I expect that the government be permitted to track my activities in public without a warrant? No.
Why should I expect a business to be permitted to do the same thing?
And why should I permit such a business to do this for profit? I should not. While this considered to be 'in public', most parking lots are actually private property.
Yes, it is complex. We have representatives who should be seeking advice, and let the process work. And yes, the lobbyists arr a problem. Citizen involvement is critical, and we are largely not involved.
Typically liberal fallacy. You claim, because I want lower taxes, that I want NO taxes. Wrong. I want necessary taxes, minimum waste, minimum government intrusion where it should not intrude.
Hey, I would support NASA spending the money, if only for the scientific exercise of figuring this out. Though they may want to enlist the ham community to help - maybe help design a SDR?
In the absence of rules against it, best available is the choice - the criteria being most important. I suspect all other software is not as 'good'. And if the crashing IS caused a DNF or lost places, it would be changed out. F1 has a low tolerance for failure.
If rising tuition is the problem, subsidies don't fix it.
If financing tuition is the problem, where is the pressure to reduce tuition?
If taxation is the solution, why not a generall tax again?
My libertarian friends are nearly combusting over this, and I understand why. I'm not convinced that a degree is necessary to find a good job, and perpetuating that belief aids the institutions primarily, not the students.

I don't want YOU in charge of this.
I was exposed to chickenpox. This got me shingles later in life.
And there was no vaccine for that when I was young. Who do I sue?
So how does your refusal to vaccinate for children put other vaccinated children at risk?
The confusion is deliberately caused
*ding*
Hey, AC... How does me not vaccinating my child put your vaccinated child at risk?

I'm equally interested in cloning its last meal.

I'm a little tired of this.

This seems wrong a level that trouble me greatly.
You offered the examples. You can defend them, or not.
Yes, it is complex. We have representatives who should be seeking advice, and let the process work. And yes, the lobbyists arr a problem. Citizen involvement is critical, and we are largely not involved.
We shouldn't be intruding in other people's business"
Ok, make your case. Why should we not be involved in those regions?
And don't try and frame my challenge as a defense of any of this. You imply that we have no business on those regions. Explain please. If you can.
How about we stick to the script. Or you make your own reality. And not on my lawn.

Whoosh.
A little more work with the jammer and the police will not easily figure out who it was, nor find the device.
I'm intrigued. Low power radar ain't that hard to defeat. Lidar isn't either, and you don't need flares.

So by your logic Formula One teams use Windows Embedded because it introduces one more small vulnerability.
No. They. Do. Not.
Every component on a Formula One car is chosen to win with. Even the driver.
