Your profile doesn't say where you're from but Michigan is a weird state, always has been.

No reference to how any other group acting like that would have been attacked and/or jailed. It is white privilege to threaten people with guns in your hands and not have any consequences

Wrong.

Wrong.

Yes cutting down on excess regulations would make healthcare cheaper and more available. Thats common sense.
I base this on years of reading, understanding important concepts and relevant information and having at least double your IQ.

Copying a current countries model is not what I propose.
Several countries like Switzerland have effectively used market oriented strategies to provide better care than the fully nationalized systems.
The US also has many of the best doctors and hospitals in a more capitalist system, albeit a hampered and extremely regulated one. We can do better.


how exactly would that look in america, and how do you think a system without regulations could ever be safe for everyone? you seem to have a rather poor understanding of (largely) unregulated capitalism's track record, which is particularly amusing for someone who claims to have read and understood "relevant information" and "important concepts" (always amazing how vague you are when you're clearly out of your element, which is basically all the time).

you're not acting as a realistic proponent of your ideology, addressing its strengths and flaws, and trying to make viable arguments, in order to present a somewhat reasonable solution - you're more like a radical fanatic, whose world would collapse if they ever admitted that their completely detached from any reality ideology simply didn't have a solution to the problem. even the best example you could come up with, switzerland, should be (if you actually understood it, and were even remotely principled about libertarianism) a nightmare for you: it's heavily and strictly regulated, and compulsory for every resident.

use your massive IQ to do better.

Is it still protesting against government if they shoot someone? It's not exactly a ridiculous hypothetical considering they're in a government building armed to the teeth.

I'm interested to know what your red lines are.

colin kaepernick should have picked up an AR-15, and dressed up in walmart tacticool gear, instead of respectfully kneeling. he'd be an american hero, a "very good person" now, rather than a disrespectful "son of a bitch"...

oh wait, when black people protest they are 'terrorists', and when they brandish guns, everyone gets so afraid they change the laws, lol...

Naw, Kaepernick is just an asshole. In Michigan they were protesting at/in the Michigan capitol building... NOT on everyone's damn TV set like Kaepernick.

Nuclear is insanely safe compared to any fossil fuel, produces safer waste compared to fossil fuels, etc. etc. and is specifically designed to provide a baseload.

We have the technology. We just don't have the political capital to implement it. And no, it won't be cheap to deploy, but in the long run it will be far cheaper.


Your claim was that, quote, "it's very possible to transition our country to fully renewable power in 30 years". Nuclear is not a renewable, so this does nothing to prove your point.



On the subject: I, personally, am very much in favor of using nuclear power as a bridge technology to buy time while the problems with renewables are sorted out/technological breakthroughs become possible/the world population shrinks to a more sustainable level.

It must still be noted that going full nuclear is not a reaonable long-term option. Iirc, the world's known uranium supply lasts for another 200 years of nuclear power at current rates, so if the whole world transitioned into a mix where the entire baseload is provided by nuclear, we'd burn through it in no time. Furthermore, with the levels of global warming that have to be expected in even the most optimistic scenarios, a lot of rivers will seasonally fall dry or carry low water, which renders nuclear power plants unusable. This is what already happened in some places of Western Europe during the last two summers. And finally, it must be kept in mind that increasing the number of nuclear power plants hundredfold or so would also increase the risk of large-scale, tchernobyl-style nuclear disasters by at least the same factor.

Which brings me back to my position that nuclear is a very good bridge technology, but not a real long-term solution for the world's energy problem. At least not the current versions of it.
