- Comment on Why can't someone create a public alternative to health insurance in the USA? 1 week ago:
They have co-ops and there are ‘less greedy’ insurers out there but at the end of the day it’s slathering this idea on top of the existing framework when the framework itself is probably the real issue. Doctors/facilities need to defray costs of potential malpractice for example, and that adds to cost as opposed to a more efficient universal fund if they were all employed by a single entity (like a governmental department), small stuff like that, economies of scale for operational expense, having to compete to buy real estate for facilities, all adds up

When I was dating my wife I got her dangle drop earrings and a necklace, matching, crystal, nothing too spendy but looked super elegant, and told her she was gonna need those, because we’re getting dressed up and going out on the town. And it worked. I could only describe her style as ‘art teacher’, pretty creative and undefined, but I took a gamble and she loved it. Going elegant and using it as a lead up is def an option
