  • I replied to another comment about one specific way to introduce licensure risk to insurance company doctors as a way to get them to change their policies

    That’s a bandaid solution at best.

    Long term, I think our best bet is to keep pushing for universal healthcare that will effectively make health insurance obsolete. It’s a winning message (something like 60% of America already supports it), and we’ve come close at least twice in recent history.

    This country couldn’t even turn down the guy paraphrasing Hitler, whose promised to finish gutting the ACA. The chances of us seeing universal healthcare through “the right way” isn’t good.


  • the broad strategic decisions made by the executives aren’t going to factor in a remote likelihood of violence on a particular executive.

    That only remains true so long as this doesn’t turn into a copycat situation, which it very well might given how numerous the people with motives are, how easy it is to get guns in this country, and how fervently the people of this country are supporting the gunman.









  • I’m looking forward to this. I quite enjoyed subzero even though I didn’t enjoy it as much as the original. So I am hoping they’ve learned from the difference in love the community has for them.

    TBH half of the problem with subzero was the sea truck. I get that they wanted to innovate and do something new, but the original sub was just so much cooler. IMO a better innovation would have been to focus on building a nomadic, cooperative fleet with friends.

    Maybe friend A has a boat on the surface, friend B has a sub, friend C has a factorio-esc spidertron, etc. The boat friend could have a laser weapon, and the undersea friends could paint a target for the boat friend. I imagine it would be a load of fun to shine a little laser pointer through the glass of your sub and then a few seconds later your friend annihilates a leviathan with a blinding beam of light coming from above.
