Freedom means the freedom to spend more money than is reasonable on yoru health and being able to make unhealthy choices if you want, sure.

@GossiTheDog @malwaretech

@max_sang

Well I certainly wouldnt argue that price gouging isnt a factor.. but where int he world you getting those specific numbers?

One would expect if you are unhealthy you will not have the life expectancy of a healthier culture **at any level of spending**. But since people tend to be willing to spend huge amounts of money to get even a few extra days of life it would make sense that people who are hugely unhealthy will spend huge amounts of money to compensate.

You can **always** spend more on your health, and some will go to extremes, but there is diminishing returns at a certain point (which is why people can spend such insane amounts)

Take myself for example, I am spending 10x more for a prescription medication right now simply because its in shortage and im an off-label use so im the first to be dropped. In europe now amount of spending would get you the drug because it would be controlled.. here you have the option to spend money to get special off label compounding done but since your offlabel your off insurance too, so you have to pay a fortune. In europe it wouldnt be cheaper, it just wouldnt be an option.

@GossiTheDog @malwaretech

And now they are showing dick pics in congress.... yea america is on its way out.

@GossiTheDog

Its almost like countries with unhealthy lifestyles like eating and exercise choices are going to spend more on healthcare and not live as long.... shocker.

@Extelec It doesnt say that they cant swim there (an imperitive) it says that they dont swim there (An observation)

@dclr42 The features cost him more than anyone else... it cost him $44 billion

@lowqualityfacts I used to love watch him destroy liberals but her has gotten so cringe in recent years its painful to watch him.

@VoxDei Sounds like you should be on the safe side and buy a ticket. You win every time.

@mike805

Yep and you own full copyright to it to do with it as you please... I dont even see that as psychopath, its consenting adults, so I have nothing against it.

@gpowerf

@gpowerf No way, in much the same way that pornography isnt prostitution because someone brought a video camera :)

@Alphakilopapa

Im not sure people who work 90 hours have too much more or less of a risk factor of being suied over a random accident than anyone else. But I agree, winding up in 100K + of debt due to an accident is one example that is fairly rare, but we are talking about luck, luck implies chance and at the extreme ends of that the gain/loss will be extreme.

Again not saying luck is typically the dominate factor, but it is a factor and for the few people who are unlucky it can be rather devastating.

@selea

Someone (elsewhere) just told me "Well that just sounds like communism with extra steps"... I lawled.

New business idea: reverse lottery.... Basically we randomly select a person every month and whoever is selected we send someone over to their house and rob them of everything they have at gun point. Buying a ticket to the lottery ensures your name never gets called.

@Alphakilopapa

While luck is certainly a factor as you point out its not usually the dominant one.. I mean you say you have shit luck, but one accident in just the right way can put a person 100K in debt whether its from law suits or health insurance not covering something or whatever.

You can minimize the chance luck will bite you in the ass. But you cant eliminate it as a factor.. the fact that you are thriving means even if you had bad luck, your luck could have been far far worse.

@selea

@bibliolater Neither, it is simply telling us that crocodiles dont swim there, so its perfectly safe :)

I was a bit reluctant to swim here, but thankfully this sign reassured me its safe!

@garyackerman Does anyone really view them like that anymore? I feel like that perspective died in like the 90s
