The video is not about that.

I get that, for the overall post. I was just noting that this specific comment thread was in response to your comment about his qualifications and experience. Nothing more. It later got filled with other trains of conversation, but my response to you was specific to that one subject, not whether or not celebrities in general should be public servants.
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 17 hours ago:
I don’t understand your replies. In the video Jon addresses the impulse people have to want folk like him, Colbert, and Kimmel to run for office. He insinuates his disagreement but understands the sentiment. In other words, exactly your point.
On the other hand, you keep arguing the point of Jon as POTUS in this comment thread when the only point being made was that, unlike most celebrities, Jon has knowledge and experience in the legislative process. You stated that he had no other qualification other than fame. I corrected that misconception. Nothing more.
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 21 hours ago:
His wife involvement was hands on and significant. In person lobbying, actual help crafting the legislation, etc.
Does that alone qualify him to be potus? Probably not, which is the point he is making in the video. Does it making far more qualified than Trump? Absolutely. But the point of my comment was to illustrate that he does indeed have hamss on knowledge and experience in the legislative negotiations and crafting, which most other celebrities do not have.

Oddly, you’d be correct 99% of the time but in Jon’s case he is actually highly experienced with dealings on Capitol Hill.
After leaving The Daily Show, Stewart maintained a low profile in entertainment industry circles, but used his celebrity and voice in a sustained advocacy for 9/11 first responders and war veterans’ health benefits. In 2019, he received the New York City Bronze Medallion for his “tireless advocacy, inspiration, and leadership (helping to) pass the permanent authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act”. He continued using his platform as an advocate for veterans by being instrumental in helping pass the Honoring our PACT Act of 2022, which expands healthcare access and funding to veterans exposed to toxic substances during their service including burn pits.

On a banana dude! Same as they do (or did) in school. Sheesh!
LOL, it was poor phrasing.
- Comment on Parents... Huh... 1 week ago:
I think you meant “emotionally scarred” but if I’m honest, “emotionally scared” is also true.
- Comment on Parents... Huh... 1 week ago:
Getting sex ed and intercourse tips from my mother was horrifying, but it saved me from many mistakes. Not all, but many.
- Comment on Parents... Huh... 1 week ago:
Oh, I 100% agree. Still, that was…something.
- Comment on Parents... Huh... 1 week ago:
My mother was a social worker in New York and Philly during the sixties and seventies. She use to tell me (as a pre-pubescent child) about how she use to have to put young girls (10-13) on birth control and how some already had a child at 13. I hit puberty at 10 so she gave me the talk about how regular masturbation was healthy and showed me how to put on a condom.
Decades later and I’m still emotionally scarred. *shiver*

I have always wondered why in the hell when I mistype *rogue my autocorrect opts for rouge. Why not rogue or rough. Rouge is not a word I ever use in a sentence outside of the rare Louisiana reference, and yet it is what it defaults to.

Why is it that rouge missiles never seem to hit luxury high-rise apartments or mansions?
- Comment on Hospital Bill 1961 4 weeks ago:
This is 100% correct. My plan has a $10,000 yearly deductible, which means that every year I am responsible for the first $10,000 of medical expenses.
- Comment on Hospital Bill 1961 4 weeks ago:
It is dystopian, but there arr plenty of programs to mitigate the issue. If you go to a charity or teaching hospital (like the one referenced in the post), and you have no insurance, your bill might be mostly forgiven if not entirely written off. Emergency rooms cannot refuse service and if you are broke, they might write it off. More than likely they will sell off the debt to a third party for a small fraction and those guys will hound you for life. Again, if you are poor, plan ahead (teaching or charity hospital) and you should be fine.
PS: I am sure you have heard of Planned Parenthood due to the GOP’s crusade against abortion. The real thing to note is that they offer pre and post natal services to make sure that mother and child are healthy, free of charge. Every time a Planned Parenthood clinic is forced to close, those services disappear for the poor.
