Of course he’s going to say that, but somehow this is the first I’ve heard that Fede Álvarez is directing an Alien movie. It’s hard to be optimistic about a new Alien announcement lately, but I’m hoping this gets a treatment similar to Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey. It’s also a Hulu release so we’ll see.
that goes through the scripts, action sequences frame by frame, costume and design, what seems like designed inconsistencies in the set to hint at a consistent alien universe lore and taxonomy, It’s a very impressive analysis channel that has made me appreciate the both Prometheus and covenant much more.
I have had this teapot about 3 months and in this last month it has been in constant use and yesterday these stains appeared, is it rust? Should I throw away the kettle or can it be saved?
Your sources: 2 articles making a point you don’t understand and three conservative paragraphs crying that the left is fascist without any proof.
Ya been played.
Case in point: your new Yorker article opens with pointing out conservatives tried to rig the most recent election but luckily most people voted in 2020 and conservative interests(including the conservative executive branch) failed to steal the 2020 election like they did for (conservative)bush via voting machine/site interference(conservative method), gerrymandering(a conservative tool)) and taking away voting rights(conservative tool).
It’s cheaper to have free health care than it is to have our current system and more productive for our country, so it’s really just a matter of following through on any of the public health care referendums.
No, we don’t need to see if public healthcare works. We already know that it’s cheaper than private healthcare and that it works better than private health care.
Other countries have been proving that for generations and the numbers prove it in our country.
In the same way other public services are funded, fund the education of your medical professionals like they do in other countries, and you will have plenty of doctors.
Put the money saved by transitioning to public health care to good use.
We know how to do it, we already have Medicare and all of the first world countries have proven that as long as you give funding to the medical industry, public health care works, the same as libraries receiving funding or fire departments receiving funding.
You can take a look at any referendum to see how specifically we would transition to that system, but it would basically be expanding Medicare to Medicare for all, and later removing the remaining restrictions for pre-existing conditions.
It would be a very simple transition, and more productive for the country and cheaper for everyone.
The only reason we’re not doing it are profit driven motives by people making money off of the private health care industry.
The Medicare for All act has been introduced multiple times since 2003 and is a great intermediary step to true comprehensive health care for all. Another comment linked to that above.
Oh I see. I was literally putting together a list of the developments Cypress took when they enacted universal healthcare in 2019 and the Medicare for All bullet points to explain the initial steps more clearly.
You’re actually curious how we can foment support for such a bill, if I understand correctly.
Ideally, you attend rallies and town hall discussions about health care and call up your senators and public officials and radically advocate for it and get enough people to join forces to convince politicians to vote for it.
Practically? We have two options. 1) getting lucky and voting in someone as focused on positive progress as Bernie or 2) in the United States, where economic dominance is the primary factor that shifts private interests, just like recently with sustainable energy, just like with transportation infrastructure, we’re going to see the point where large corporate interests and our government simultaneously realize that they’re losing capital ground to international competitors because they refuse to make progress on the key issue of health.
Once they realize that the incredibly cheap healthcare offered to first world citizens supports the interest of the upper class by keeping a healthy and happy proletariat is complimented by the international embarrassment of having the only wealthy population that often can’t financially or medically survive a fairly innocuous malady like a broken leg or diabetes, we’re going to very rapidly see sweeping reforms that will actually be taking a step in the right direction because the forces that be are retreating in fear from seeing the end of the road they’re forcing the rest of us to walk down(they lose power).
It sounds bleak, but it’s actually a good thing. Target will have big placards with doctor saying “and it doesn’t cost anything!” putting a Band-Aid on a kid’s knee, you’ll see speeches by politicians about how we’ve always had the best healthcare system, and now you’re getting better than the best, even though they’ll just be playing catch up with first world countries .
But that’s fine because our dumb system and the people who believe they control it will be learning. They’re just learning the hardest, stupidest way, that doing the right thing actually benefits everybody.
I think the same thing will happen with education, we’re already dumb as hell compared to other countries because we don’t offer affordable education, and we’re already past the point that we’ve lost an entire generation of professionals because of it.
TLDR: critical mass will be reached as other countries outpace us because their citizens don’t die from colds, and those in control will change their minds.
What are you talking about? All the first world countries have public health care and it works better than private health care.
Even in the states, public health care would be far cheaper than private healthcare. Anybody who wants private healthcare instead of public health care is brainwashed.
That is not the problem in this country keeping us from public health care. With the money we saved transitioning to public health care away from private health care, we could fund the tuition of as many doctors as we wanted.

What is the most promising pathway to reach universal healthcare?
Let’s assume we want all people to have health care. What are the steps / methods most likely to get us there?...
Colossus - The Forbin Project
This was a great movie for a lot of reasons....
