  1. Hare reports that about 1 percent of the general population meets the clinical criteria for psychopathy. Hare, RD (1994), "Predators: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths among Us", Psychology Today, 27 (1): 54–61. Hare further claims that the prevalence of psychopaths is higher in the business world than in the general population. Figures of around 3–4 percent have been cited for more senior positions in business. Baibak, P; Hare, RD (2007), Snakes in Suits: When Psychopaths Go to Work. The AI Personality Assessment reports much higher psychopathy in the non wrestling forums.

  2. It is good to think critically about the Kirk shooting. That same level of thinking should be applied elsewhere! So many conspiracies... so little skepticism depending on the bias.
  3. The ultimate accountability lays with the illegal alien for having been in the country and failure to comply. It is easy to understand how the agent believed his life was in danger, even if it was his own actions contributing to it. Maybe he should have let go, maybe he should have tried harder to get the driver to stop. By holding on, the situation is made worse. The cop could have fallen into traffic or been ran over when the car reversed. Then the car rapidly sped forward into traffic with the cop still holding on. This is probably what caused the tear in the agent's pants and why he visited the hospital for knee, hand, and back issues. In hindsight yes the agent should have let go. Maybe the agent should be disciplined, maybe he shouldn't. It was a judgement call in the moment by an officer doing his job. Video of shooting: Decent article: https://archive.ph/qkyfl#selection-525.0-525.164
  4. My wife agreed ^^^ but when pressed on subsidizing foreigners, she said the U.S. should prioritize helping its own people. The U.S. does not recognize food, shelter, and health care as a human right but offers many programs and charity. I agree with the US on their legal stance. The US current programs must be doing okay given their willingness to extend charities to other countries where the charity is siphoned from the corrupt folks in charge.
  5. Trip is likely being hyperbolic... I get the frustration whether you know someone that died painfully of cancer or just feel strongly that opposing universal health care is cruel. Your comment is cruel and unproductive. My painful death by cancer will have zero impact on my belief that healthcare is a service that should not be forced by others to provide. And this says nothing about my humanity. Good people provide charitable health care to those in need because they choose to, not because they are forced.
  6. WTF Portland. We got a Trump supporter here. Bang. Bang. Dead.
  7. I agree with you. I am referring to the illegal border crossings rather than over stayers.
  8. 100% of illegal aliens enter the country unlawfully and 75% commit felony fraud when they provide stolen or fake information to work. Understanding why they commit crime does not excuse the crime.
  9. I haven’t seen anyone, anywhere, say anyone shouldn’t get emergency stabilization.
  10. Jared Leto, Jennifer Lawrence, Keanu Reeves...
  11. True. With the impact of shifting the federal tax burden to Midwest taxpayers like me. Note: New York plays the shell game with provider taxes to get federal funds for their illegal alien healthcare program. Note 2: New York declares health care as a human right for their residents. Forcing others to work so that others can get a service IS NOT A RIGHT! Entitlement to resources IS NOT A RIGHT! This popular disagreement is why state sovereignty matters and why its unfair for NY and CA to scam Federal dollars. Health care services may be provided freely through choice, not mandates!
  12. I see rock solid stairs being cut into the slope.
  13. The state taxpayer is directly funding state funded non-emergency care for illegal aliens. For example, California was providing coverage for 1.6 million illegal aliens per Newsome (source). ALSO the federal taxpayer is indirectly funding non-emergency care for illegal aliens in several ways. Method 1: Shell games California uses a shell game to collect federal subsidies and fund non-emergency care for illegal aliens. How? The state heavily taxes health insurance companies for each member plan The state uses the tax money to pay back the insurance company higher rates for Medicaid services. The Federal government matches a high percentage of the state funding for Medicaid services. The state uses the increased Federal funding to help pay for its state plan that covers non-emergency care for illegal aliens. John borrows $100 from Jack, and pays back $105 to Jack. Uncle Sam pays John $300 for "spending" $105. John actually spent $5... not $105... It meets the rules but is subjectively a scam... Method 2: Cost shifting The existence of an illegal alien getting health care that is not paid by that alien increase insurance premiums to citizens nationally. Method 3: Incentive Multiplier Free care incentivizes more illegal aliens to come the USA, which compounds the impact of shell games and cost shifting. ...I'm sure there is more. Administrative costs, logistic costs, care provider stress... --------- SO WHAT --------- The big beautiful bill eliminates the California shell game by restricting the provider tax strategy. It also reduces Fed Medicaid funding to states that offer state funded health coverage for illegal aliens. I had no idea California was scamming the Fed like this...
  14. This is distasteful to hold it over the dems heads that if they shut down the government, reps will layoff the work force. There is no need to deflect. Just say it. We want a small government and will use this as an opportunity to downsize.
  15. Facts: It is unoriginal and hallucinates. It encourages slop from humans that do not verify the source. It legit may affect our brains to shrink over time as the need to memorize, recall, and think critically. WALL-E is coming.
