Things that you have taken seriously today (Political version)

And his salary is paid for from the athletics department funds, which come from ESPN and ticket and concessions. Not the state or taxes. If Iowa made jack shit from football, he'd make jack shit for salary.

That being said, I'm talking about the STUDENT costs. It isn't free to go to college.

Which shows that socialism can and does create an environment in which capitalism can flourish.

P.S. We still have private schools along side public schools. That doesn't mean as a society we shouldn't strive to improve the quality of education available to our children and grand children.

Just because you had to climb rocks to get to school doesn't mean we shouldn't ever move the rocks.

Try harder.

Pay close attention... Health care is supposed to be about caring for the health of people regardless of their personal decisions - hence the Hippocratic Oath...

What happens when you let Government overreach occur: "The Biden administration said the rationing is temporary and aimed at “optimal and equitable use,” of the drug, but gave no indication how long the restrictions would last."

No comment on increased production. Only on rationing.

Pay very close attention, this or an action like it... if we continue down this path... will affect you soon enough.

Honestly, PB. You are a perfect example of how socialism does work. You obtained the most valuable asset in acquiring wealth, you're education, by means of socialism.

You own your own business, which usually means you do something that you enjoy for a living. That's ultimately the goal of our public education system and you're living proof that it works.

Actually, I am the product of how capitalism is king.

My education did not give me the motivation to own my own businesses.. it was my drive to acquire more money to provide for my family that did.

The harder I worked, the more money I made.

And college is like the exact opposite of socialism, given I paid my own way.

The government doesn't produce medicine, and it's being debated whether the Defense Production Act can be used to force private companies to produce more.

What the government has a responsibility to do is ensure equal access to critical medicines, particularly as monoclonal antibody treatments are used to treat many more debilitating and deadly conditions. Joe Antivaxxer and his ten children aren't any more or less deserving than Aunty DyingFromCancer, that's for health practitioners to decide. But for a state with 60% Joe Antivaxxer population to hoover up all available supply shouldn't happen.

So you aren't for universal healthcare then.

This attitude "Joe Antivaxxer and his ten children" is why we even have to have this "whether the Defense Production Act can be used to force private companies to produce more" debate.

It was exciting to watch 4 civilians get launched into orbit last night, I really think we will have man on Mars by 2030. We need more Elon Musks and those that are making mankind a multi-planetary species. The only way to do that is to make more humans and work together to provide a society that doesn't hinder a person's ability to chase their dreams and ideas.

Joes 10 children are the future Elon Musks.

Well yeah, imagine how much lower the monoclonal antibody demand would be if people would get vaccinated and quarantine when appropriate. Our country doesn't give new livers to alcoholics, kidneys to noncompliant diabetics or lungs to smokers, because the limited supply of transplants must be given to those with the mostly need who aren't a victim of their own life choices. This is the same rationality to monoclonal antibodies.

You mean like they used the DPA over the past 2 years?
You meant "paid to produce" not "forced to produce" right?
Your thinking is a political one.. not what a Doctor is supposed to do. We're not talking limited quantities based upon human death/donation to provide a resource (human organ transplants)... we're talking about a manufactured material.

By your logic... all people with Aids, should not get medical help. All people with severe STDs, should not get medical help. All obese or fat people, should not get medical help. All athletes, should not get medical help. All people that fuck themselves up on 4th of July with fireworks, should not get medical help. Etc. etc. etc.

Those are all that individuals life choice right? Those choices all led to their hospitalization right? So, per your logic, none of them should get help.

Your logic is the same rationality that dictators, authoritarian regimes... and insurance companies... like to use.

Elon Musks do not exist in a real socialist country.
