"People would just abuse free healthcare". *Gets world's biggest opioid crisis anyway* E: not "anyway"- directly as a result of a healthcare system run purely for greed.

Benny Harvey posted:"People would just abuse free healthcare". 1) Create a system where huge number of people cannot afford real healthcare 2) Treat everything with painkillers and wish that the condition just goes away. 3) Painkillers that help on untreated conditions are addictive and the conditions themselves only rarely just go away. 4) Put all drug abusers in private jails with comically long sentences and mandatory prison labour. 5) You make money, and the poor fuckers live miserably and die young. Win&Win! So basically gently caress You, Got Mine.

doctorfrog posted:I suspect there's also a stupid malevolence that the polls don't account for. I think a lot that 74% would be against a better healthcare system if it benefited someone that they feel doesn't deserve it. Even if it it meant they couldn't have it either. Wrongo. The poll being referenced specifically states that two thirds of Americans support a public option. (Though only about 56% support complete nationalization)

e: ^^^ That looks different. That's your slop standard truck stop instant mashed potatoes and gravy, gravy. That's fairly garbage tier shithouse fair. That other stuff looked...different. It looks like BBQ sauce from a bottle, tbh. If it's not that, I bet it's their 'house' gravy made from chocolate jello pudding mix. I'm a life long Americano and I ain't seen anything like that that wasn't proper mole sauce, and struggle even with the concept of 'chocolate gravy', I'd say I fail to believe that's real in any sense other than a joke picture, even for us yanks. ... but we live in a very large and diverse country that has never failed to let me down. So, your guess is as good as mine.

Why is that a universal condi*** Of all the things red-neck hill folk americans want is lemon water or something dainty for their hands. Like unless each of them was ordering deep fried fish around the country, no one just up and gets a lemon wedge. Why are the dead getting lemon wedges? *** I answered my own question. It's all from down south and they all want sweet tea. Derp.

Dinning halls on actual military bases will have a table like this, but it’s often only setup around Memorial Day, and its in a special roped off area. But then you go to a Chick-fil-a off post and they’ll have it all year in the middle of the dining room, and people’s kids will be running around it as they scream and throw fries at each other. Most of the time it’s not even setup correctly. But it’s “4 TEH TROUPS!” so

Aardvark! posted:what's the deal with the lemon The table is round – to show our everlasting concern. The cloth is white – symbolizing the purity of their motives when answering the call to serve. The single red rose reminds us of the lives of these Americans….and their loved ones and friends who keep the faith, while seeking answers. The yellow ribbon symbolizes our continued uncertainty, hope for their return and determination to account for them. A slice of lemon reminds us of their bitter fate, captured or missing in a foreign land. A pinch of salt symbolizes the tears of our missing and their families. The lighted candle reflects our hope for their return. The Bible represents the strength gained through faith to sustain us and those lost from our country, founded as one nation under God. The glass is inverted – to symbolize their inability to share a toast. The chairs are/chair is empty – they are missing…………….. (moment of silence) It’s much more a relic from the Vietnam era and concern over POW/MIA service members, than it is a memorial to those KIA. And the POW/MIA stuff was often tied to post-Vietnam conspiracy theories about the Vietnamese still secretly holding onto US prisoners after the the end of the war. Though a civilian defense contractor/Navy Veteran is still being held by the Taliban right now.

Even though other countries play baseball it's a very America.jpg thing. We, we being my European husband and my self, visited my hometown of Spokane last in the fall of 2016. Poor Mr. Ralph not only had to have the rules of baseball explained to him many times by me, my dad, my mom and my mom's husband many times but he also had to be subjected to what a BIG DEAL it was that it was the Cubs and the Indians in the series and what a BIG DEAL it was that the Cubs won. I grew up playing softball and keeping score for my dad's softball teams so the rules are all second nature but yeah, upon having to explain them to someone who doesn't know they are a bit complicated. Anyway Spokane isn't big enough to have a big leagues team but we do have a minor league team called the Indians. About 15 years or so ago they went "hey, should we rebrand to be something less racist?" and they ended up working with the Spokane Indians tribe to come up with branding that was inclusive to the tribe.  The name Spokane is written in Salish on the uniforms and instead of having a caricature of a human they have a regional trout as the mascot now.  This is the first time the native words/language have appear on the uniforms of a baseball team. Only around a dozen people or so are left who can fluently speak Salish.  More information here on the rebranding and the collaboration. I love baseball. I know it's slow and it's like 3 minutes of action stretched out over 3 hours but I still love that pokey old-fashioned game.

Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of those folk were like, "but you have to not be on welfare, or an immigrant, or you have to work a 40 hour job, heh." But yes, all I have is a suspicion, no evidence of this.
