And there's another part of the problem: artificially inflated house and property prices.

That's what I mean. We pay so much in taxes that everything should be taken care of for us. We have been deceived into thinking that we can't possibly pay for all of this. Money is nothing to the US government.

ALL insurance is a scam. They are ALL the same. Insurance companies do nothing but pay less than what has been given. That's how they make money.

Insurance is a scam. Fuck them. I pay each fucking paycheck and they don't want to pay. What if everyone dropped their insurance and then paid out of pocket. As long as you are paying something, they can not collect, and hospitals can't turn you away.

This is literally what America is fine with health insurance CEOs being denied further life coverage.

Edit: The article is about health insurance, but it doesn't matter. The goal of insurance is to take your money, use your money to invest, and then try not to pay you anything. Yes, people have had insurance cover some things in an emergency, but they should be doing more.

The biggest threats to civilization are self-centered narcissistic rich people.

That's the point. "WHY" did they decide it had to be you.

I know nothing, but to me, there is "why," and there is "how." The why can never be proven and the how is fact. Religious institutions try to tell you "why" you are here, but they can not. They can only tell you why they think you are here.

In 1 billion years, there is a very good chance that we will not exist, so what's the point to any of this? Literally that. YOU are why any of this has a point. If you want to sit and stare at the stars, then that is why you are here. But then that is me telling you why you are here.

Why will always lead to how, which will lead to why, which will lead to how, that leads to why, then to how....ad infinitum.

From the movie "City slickers". The meaning of life is one thing. And that is whatever you are doing.

Just the thoughts you were wondering about, from a stranger in the wires.

No! NO GUN CONTROL! All we can do is hope and pray! Do you hear me! HOPES AND PRAYERS!!! we don't want to end up like russia now, do we!? PLEASE PEOPLE I'M BEGGING YOU, PRAY LIKE YOU'VE NEVER PRAYED BEFORE AND HOPE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HOPED BEFORE. NO LAW OR REGULATION CAN HELP US NOW, JUST HOPES AND PRAYERS.

Edit: I messed up. We should have been thinking and praying and not hoping and praying. This is all my fault I'm sorry, everyone.

They obviously weren't hoping or praying hard enough. Do better next time, kids. And to whoever might think this is insensitive, have you seen our governments response to school shootings? It's pretty much what I just wrote.

Because he's done more to fix our healthcare system than any politician.
