    70% of Americans now support Medicare-for-all (Single payer healthcare)

    I think if Obamacare was left as is, support for MFA would be much lower. But the GOP and Trump ran on repeal, did a shitty bang up job of trying to repeal it, made it worse for everyone, so now people are willing to go the single payer route.  

     

    Even I would support it, as long as it is funded smartly, and doesn't include periphery care like prescriptions, dental and vision.  I know you communists will get all pissy because I said that, but let's be pragmatic, not even Canada includes those services in their socialized healthcare plan.

     

    Canada’s healthcare system isn’t exactly an ideal. 

    Senator John McCain, great American, war hero, amazing human being, badass, dies at 81

    Honestly, I don't really see why it's so unreasonable to be happy about the death of a guy that you despised? It seems to me it'd be dishonest for @RedSoxFan9 to be praising McCain for being a great statesman and whatnot, since he clearly doesn't believe that to be true. 

     

    I'm not saying it's wrong to be civil btw, I just don't think it's wrong to be uncivil either.

    Alright, I've got my anti-Nazi ensemble ready to go!

     

    - Haitian Revolution t-shirt

    - black Half-Life 2 baseball cap

    - red kerchief/bandana to cover the lower half of my face (upside: it's anti-Nazi red, downside: it has pictures of puppies and kitties)

    - weightlifting gloves

     

    I'm departing for Freedom Plaza in about an hour.

    NYC becomes first city to place (temporary) cap on Uber and Lyft vehicles

    Is the subway really that bad in NYC? I think we're gonna take our first visit there year after next. We've been to Boston, DC, and Chicago and gotten around fine using the subway for nearly everything. Uber gets expensive when you're constantly calling for rides and you just pay one flat fee for a 7 day public transit pass. We used Uber 5 times for our Chicago trip, mostly just for to and from the airport and spent $170. Meanwhile a 7 day pass was $28 each.

     

    I’ve never been to NYC but my mom has been taking a vacation out there once a year for close to a decade (now that she’s retired it’s become a bi-annual trip actually). She loves the subway! She apparently doesn’t use a taxi at all when she’s there. She’s a 66 year old woman so if she can handle it I’m sure you’ll be fine.

    Saudi Arabia has cancelled the scholarships of 16,000 Saudi students in Canada, and has ordered them to find education in another country.

    That's fucked.

     

    That's gonna be a kick in the pants to pretty much every post secondary institution in this country.
