Health Insurance Companies
They don’t really exist because people are stupid.
More because of corruption and greed imo.
You’re gonna have to explain further before I can judge your comment.
If people weren’t stupid they would not put up with having the highest medical costs in the world while achieving the lowest quality of care in the first world. Health Insurance Companies exist because too many people haven’t figured out that their purpose is to limit, or prevent, actual health care.
Mmmm the existence of these companies is not enough to say people are stupid. Plenty of places have these companies and reasonable access to high quality care at a reasonable price. It’s just the US in particular allows their companies to get away with murder.
For profit health insurance companies.
Even with universal healthcare, someone has to do all the admin stuff, and putting it under government control directly just screams of inefficiencies.
I always assume people who assert that the government is automatically less efficient, more expensive, and poorly run compared to private industry must never have been associated with a large corporation, or lack awareness.
Medicare, as it exists today, delivers superior care at lower cost than any private insurer. This despite the fact that Medicare covers the elderly and disabled, groups that need more care than the population at large that the private guys cover. If you think about it, Medicare is a giant subsidy to the private market by removing needy populations from their rolls.
The scheme to include private guys in medicare “medicare advantage”, was supposed to bring down costs by bringing in the efficiency of the private market. Medicare Advantage today costs more than the Army and the Navy.
Yes, but the alternative is far worse. I present America as Exhibit A.

Yes, but have you ever tried being addicted to nicotine? /s

Less unhealthy ones :P

Warning Labels on obvious things. Like “contains dairy” on a package of butter. At some point they need to stop and let Darwin take the wheel.
I like the “This product may contain nuts” on a packet of nuts.
It better contain nuts or I want my money back.
Most nuts are not even nuts.
Dairy is an allergen and has to be marked on packages by law in the states. There are also people who just avoid dairy, and non-dairy butter very much exists.
Sounds like the problem is the vegans renaming margarine “butter” to avoid the negative connotations
I’m surprised it was allowed honestly. Thought “big butter” would lobby against it for “confusing the average citizen” or some nonsense.
Agreed, it’s not hard to make new names for things. I’m totally fine with calling soy milk that and boob juice the stuff from cows, but at least there is a qualifier. Normal English language Germanic origin behavior. So we could have boob butter and coconut butter, easy…but nooo
That’s what they managed in Europe. So we have sun milk, but don’t you dare naming it soy milk. I am do confused now, I drink my coffee with sun milk from time to time…
Well sun milk is a nice way to put it, I think I’ll keep that.

Imagine Dragons
Why?
I ask “why” every time I’m reminded Imagine Dragons exist, too.
I don’t really get why one would have strong feelings about that band one way or the other.
The best qualifier I’d give it is “forgettable”.
automatic weapons
“Tactical” products and brain “vitamins”
