- Comment on Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for 1 week ago:
Every state that receives federal medicaid money administers their own state run health insurance
The program is partially funded and primarily managed by state governments, which also have wide latitude in determining eligibility and benefits, but the federal government sets baseline standards for state Medicaid programs and provides a significant portion of their funding. States are not required to participate in the program, although all have since 1982.

When it comes to YouTube at least, if I watch a video that has 650k+ views or contains the word Trump in the title I then have to delete it from my history afterwards or it heavily influences my feed going forward

That is a common misconception. The war in Ukraine is not only marginally related to America.
The outcome of the war in Ukraine will determine the fate of Europe
As I recall the last time that happened, it wasn’t marginally related to America.
I suppose being overwhelmed with conflicting information is a common experience for just about everyone. I feel fortunate to have the education and training to be able to make sense of it.
I wouldn’t be so quick to underestimate Ukraine’s chances, it seems like every time a Russia has done that they lose another 25,000 soldiers and their accompanying equipment

You don’t have to believe me, there any number of reliable objective sources available that will confirm it.
Russia had an enormous stockpile leftover from the Soviet Union and has nearly burned through all of it. Yes, it’s taken a few years.
How do you want this to go?
Usually I provide bad faith arguers such as yourself with the links to those credible objective sources and they refuse for some whatever made up reason
Because of course they do
I mean, we’re 3 years into the full scale invasion of Ukraine and you seem to be ignorant of a major conflict and genocide on a basic level
Why should that change now?
What I am saying is correct whether you believe me or not, you can FO and stay ignorant for all I care. I am just providing the opportunity not to be

The war is very winnable. The idea that Russia is invincible or too big to fail is a fallacy.
Russia’s economy is collapsing under the weight of sanctions and will not be able to sustain its ability to wage war.
When Russia is on its knee after its complete economic collapse and is unable to sustain the war, that is when peacekeeping troops will be sent.
Europe is preparing to send an absolutely enormous amount of aid to Ukraine that will be able to sustain Ukraine through the entirety of Trump’s term.
knows that if Ukraine falls then Europe is next on Putin’s chopping block
You should show a modicum of respect to the people of Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelenskyy
They have earned it
- Comment on 'We've lost a partner and a friend': Ukrainians somber as U.S. partnership disintegrates 1 week ago:
Having the opinion that Russia shouldn’t have attacked Ukraine is already lightyears ahead of Trump’s opinion of “Ukraine never should have started this war”
In each and every instance I have had getting to know the people of Ukraine over the last several years, every time I walk away with greater admiration and respect for them and the feeling that they have made me a better person in the process.

It’s an odd reaction many seem to share
Simply recognizing a man’s work doesn’t elevate him to messiah or prophet
Also, that bit about not voting goes hand in hand with this bit as well
It boils down to the question of why vote if neither option will bring about real and lasting positive change?
Just as it does in this bit that voting is only there to give the population the illusion of choice

Brigadier generals are nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate
U.S. law explicitly limits the total number of general officers who may be on active duty. The total number of active duty general officers is capped at 218 for the Army, 62 for the Marine Corps, 170 for the Air Force, and 21 for the Space Force.
All brigadier generals must retire after five years in grade or 30 years of service, whichever is later
If he’s a brigadier general then he’s one of the few and he’s gonna be an older dude
