TRUMP - Some people think......... How do you feel?

Welcome to Wondercafe2!

A community where we discuss, share, and have some fun together. Join today and become a part of it!

I hazard a guess that none of us here can grok the AHCA in its fullness but rather rely on other's interpretations and communications of it? Because its so damn complex.

Similar to attempts to change it?

Still laughing whenever I read and hear "Trumpcare" in media; just a trickle so far. I also note my immediate but temporary feeling of anger...oh evolved monkey...

It is so damned complex. Mainly because they appear to be too chickenshit to just move ahead and implement a single-payer universal healthcare system like a real country.
 
I want to hear a reporter ask why no country with socialized medicine is looking to repeal that system? Where are the countries looking at the GOP plans and thinking to themselves, "Yes! We should have that!"

If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, where are the imitators? Who wants Republican-style health care?

No one except a (vocal) third of Americans. Specifically, the ones who are determined not to share in the health care costs of their neighbours. Which is a lot. Of Christians. And they support a bill that will drain the fund designed to help pay for those who can not (often these same people), and give that money back to the richest, because they are so easily convinced to vote against their own self-interests.

It would be funny if it weren't so painfully depressing.
 
@Inannawhimsey - for them, probably the most boring and pointless Jamboree presentation ever. They're standing there, squinting and/ or trying not to fall asleep, going "what is that guy talking about...and when is he going to stop?!"

I imagine they're actually thinking, "Wow, he's so rich and so powerful and so smart. I want to be like him when I grow up!"

This is what happened to Trump at the end of the talk (he didnt choose...wisely)
Definitely NSFW -- the showstopper scene from beginning of Scanners*

*yes folks that headless unfortunate is none other than Louis del Grande, who I would come to enjoy watching him play psychik journalist in Seeing Things.
 

Would ending military action cause a slump in the US military equipment (deficit position) business ... thus causing a collapse of another government fund ... like the immanent failure of Ob Care?

Is Canada a observing and taking hints on how to become efficient ... eliminate labour!

When enough labour is gone will we be Job Free? Sound biblical ... thus Job worked under de veil's supervision ... supra natural! The under pra' ... self-elimination treaty!
 
Okay, This is a break in the stream. It's something about billionaires in general I should have realized a long time ago. I was writing today about the excessive power of Canadian billionaires, and their unlimited greed.
Then it occurred to me this idea of greed didn't make much sense. There had to be something else that drove them to such excesses,, and such destructive interference. Then I thought of Trump.

He was born with enough money to live the high life for all his life.

So why the rush to get more?

He's a man who has no political philosophy whatever. So why did he want to be president? In that same vein, he obviously has no sense of any general direction to take the country. So what is this all about? Greed comes nowhere close to explaining it.

Then I thought of very wealthy people I have known. Most of them born into wealth. What drove them to search for more? Well, look at Trump.

He didn't marry a good-looking girl. It had to be a beauty queen. And she has had to stay a beauty. Of course. He married for status, public recognition.

He likes to molest women. lots of men do, but keep it a secret. He openly brags about it. Status. Recognition.

With heaps of wealth, he looks for an extra job on a TV show. Status. Recognition.

He adores large crowds and tweeting. Status. Recognition. (Okay. Vanity.)

With no political ideas of any substance or consistency, he ran for president. Status. Recognition. Vanity.

It's a very common weakness of the very wealthy. (For some reason, Mila Mulroney comes to mind.)
 
A friend of mine said his developmental age was that of a boy. I don't remember the exact age. I'm thinking between about 7 and 13. She suggested we explore what happened to him at that age. I'm inclined to think that he was kept at that age because he did grow up in a world of extreme monetary privilege. I suspect he had no emotional nurturing or privilege so he has to get it by saying "look at me" "look what I did" all the time.

Could be
There are also known psychophysical changes that occur with status change
Even nasty things like immune system compromisation, lowered IQ and mental illness
There are good evolutionary reasons why someone would want to stay in their status...and would want 2 have more?
Good observation, Graeme
