Being a black man, my comment about you not reading the room seems to have struck a nerve.

This Ben Shapiro video has overwhelmingly negative comments, and most people commenting aren't even leftists. That shooter is a folk hero now.

It's not a perfect system, but it works better for a larger portion of the Japanese population than the American healthcare does for the average American. I was referring to uninsured scenarios in my earlier example. Most people have a combination of national and privatized insurance that makes their healthcare very cheap. Again not perfect, and there probably are extreme scenarios where healthcare is too expensive, but it is not the norm there. You can easily find stories of Americans having to file bankruptcy over medical debt. Yes, the whole attitude towards drug addiction in Japan could use improvement, but you have to consider other metrics. Of all developed nations, Japan has the lowest obesity rate, Japanese women have the highest life expectancy, and the average citizen visits the doctor several times per year.

Healthcare in Japan is not free, but the government sets the prices for everything, so it's much cheaper. You'll never file for bankruptcy over medical bills there. Quite an amazing system, considering Japan has the largest percentage of people over 65 of any nation. I've heard numerous stories of Americans having to go to Japanese emergency rooms without insurance and being surprised to see their medical bills only be several hundreds of dollars. The same uninsured ER incidents would be thousands of dollars in America.

I starting feeling old when 20 year old games are no longer 16 bit games but PS2 era ones. 😩

Was about to post this. Looks like some c-suite executives are shitting themselves over the murder. Good.

To put it more mildly, I started following the conservative subreddit because of the election. Even though many people there are criticizing liberals for cheering the ceo's death, most people there are saying he was an unethical man and a revenge motive would be understandable. This makes me a bit hopeful: we can reach across the aisle by eating the fucking rich.

It's probably a good idea for me not to say what I want to say.

As a black man, I am quite outraged. Atlanta is so much better than Atlantic City, a shithole.
