I’m not usually a fan of defederation, but I'm actually glad to see it in this case. It's beneficial to have healthy disagreements in opinion and interactions with people who don’t share your views. However, I haven't witnessed anything positive resulting from these interactions so far.

I really appreciate your transparency and responsiveness to the community.

Unfortunately, insurance is insulated from public backlash because it’s not something that is easy to shop around for. Many people get insurance though work and have limited options to start with and a specific time window for make plan changes. When all options equally suck there isn’t an affordable place to switch your business too.

This sort of change would need to be legislated, but public opinion has very little impact on public policy.

Healthcare is broken in the US and no one with any real power to make change will do anything about it because it’s far too profitable the way it is now.

"An agreement was reached on the return of PMC Wagner to their locations. Part of those who will wish to do so, will sign contracts with the Ministry of Defense — this concerns those who did not take part in the march, indeed, there were such formations which, from the very beginning, changed their minds and returned.

That is the mutually assured destruction doctrine. I can Image the East responding with conventional attacks as a start, but if we started attacking Russia directly and they’ve already shown the willingness to use nuclear weapons what’s to stop them from using more against the conventional western forces. The west would need a very decisive first strike if they respond with any direct action.

Personally I don’t know if using nuclear weapons is a line that you can walk back across, once the genie is out of the bottle, it’s out and it going back in.

That’s a really hard position to be in. Personally I’d tell him that she found out that her dad isn’t. Her biological father but that doesn’t make him not her Dad. I wouldn’t want to be walking around with that big of a secret from my family.
