Ah, Saul Alinsky's "accuse the others of which you are guilty," I see. Explain how it's dumb. Give primary sources. I dare you.

Nice deflection attempt, but you're the one who made the statement. Aren't people here all about this burden of proof thing? Give primary sources indicating the majority of anyone voting for Biden only did so because they want free shit. I dare you. Otherwise you know, it makes your initial statement sound pretty dumb.

Made the mistake of clicking on this thread.

But, just some general advice: you're not going to have a constructive debate with anyone who non-ironically types out *smirks* when they think they're being clever in an internet argument.

AH I bet your an American that has never left the Country... What do you think half of Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada. walk around half died waiting for medical care..?
Universal Health Care is terrible especially here in Scotland where absolutely everything is 100% free. Consultations/Operations/medicine/aftercare and anything else you can think of is free on our NHS. The waiting times are terrible when I broke my leg a few years ago I had to wait a whole 4 hours to get my operation. 4 fucking hours how bad is that :rofl2:

He states it as his last proposal. "Lowering costs and expanding health care coverage." Through the federal government? When we're trillions in debt? And do you actually think costs are going to lower? Obama promised the same thing with Obamacare, and look what's happened; you make a trip to the emergency room, and it could come out to costing thousands more dollars if the ER you go to isn't the one your insurance plan covers, not because they don't want to, but because you have taxes, costs, restrictions, and others that get passed down to customers to offset expenses from governments, be it local, state, or federal.

For example, why do game systems cost so much more in other, less fortunate countries? It ultimately comes down to the value of the currency, the real costs of customers buying the systems, games, controllers, etc., and all of the costs that come with importing the system to that country, and if the businesses selling the systems want to make money or break even on the systems, the price will reflect the value of the item on the market. It's part of the reason why a lot of Neo-Geo games like the King of Fighters has, rather infamously, a more Mexican/Brazilian fanbase along with that of whatever support it gets in Japan nowadays; Street Fighter II, and its many different versions back in the day was more expensive, and when one can get an arcade machine that one can easily swap game cartridges in and out of as opposed to how the CPS1 boards were set up (I'm pretty confident they weren't using something like the CPS Charger for CPS1 games iirc), the biggest investment is merely the arcade machines, followed by the games themselves. Companies made their money back on these machines thanks to arcade difficulty being to encourage players to keep putting coins in the machine to continue.

It's the same principal; what might be $500 in the US will be $2000 in Peru, or wherever. That's why, when people say that we have it good here in the US, they really do mean that we have it good as these systems are relatively affordable, when stock isn't dropping like a rock thanks to the supply chain being strained due to fears over a virus that has had so much misinformation about by intention and accident that it's created a situation where trust in institutions of government, especially of the more authoritarian variety, is plummeting.

you know you can blab all you want but its still verbal diarrhea as .. "The United States is the only one of the 33 developed countries that doesn’t have universal health care.""
but why do you want to Compare Universal healthcare from 3rd world countries. Are you saying American is not a 1st world country? Because if we look at all 1st world countries.... THEY ALL have Universal Healthcare.... its sad when Canada Laughs at our Healthcare System.. CANADA!!!

I didn't realize that these people were telling their votes before their deaths! LMAO That MUST be why Trump didn't win the election!
Well yeah...they were registered Republicans. Y'all are making me believe I have some sort of superpower just by reporting on observable reality. :lol:

You know the definition of the term but won't provide it and end the conversation.

Convenient.
It was indeed convenient, he gave me an out and I took it. After he completely ignored unimpeachable sources on the percentage of COVID-19 deaths which were preventable, I knew there was no point in furthering the conversation. Why should I care about his opinion on the expert consensus? It'd be like asking him what his opinion is on the precise inner-workings of the Large Hadron Collider. He's fucking clueless and his brain has been melted by boomer Facebook conspiracies, like so many other conservatives.

1 random user of GBATEMP, is not proof.. oh wait ... Isn't the reason the US Election a mess because of Simpleton believing Radom peoples post ...

The fact that one person wants free money and that plenty others do is proof enough. Or do you have no understanding of human nature?

yes I do... people are Gullible.. see post above for proof!!

Gullible? If you can get free money legally, and won't suffer repercussions, why not indulge in the gains? That's what the income tax was ultimately about when it was passed in the early 20th century, after all. You should have seen the people lining up for free items being introduced to Walmart a year ago at my store! They kept announcing it over the PA and everything!

Ah, calling people conspiracy theorists...totally not rhetoric to paint people in a bad light...
