Are you advocating for america saying "fuck you" to all of it's allies and screwing them over in a crisis? Because believe what you want, but america cannot survive and thrive without it's friends and allies.
With allies like the UN and WHO giving a pass to China for helping create and spread Covid19...who needs enemies?

I have 100% full coverage healthcare and pay $0.00 a month for it.
I moved to a liberal state with high fences and thick walls and generous "safety nets" to live semi-retired at the age of 40.

America has a system where if you don't have money, you don't matter.
We currently have a hybrid system where if you are poor, you receive Medicaid and unlimited access to emergency care. If you have a job and work and make enough money, you can pay the goddamn doctor.
So stop fucking lying. I say this as a college-educated person currently scamming the system in a liberal state in order to work 10 hours a week while being just "poor" enough to qualify for all the safety nets. I have a huge savings account and an insanely lazy life. This quarantine isn't affecting me at all, in fact, I am making even more money off the broken safety net system just for sitting on my ass. Don't tell me how the system does not work for the poor. It doesn't work to stop me from collecting nearly 10,000 a year for mostly sitting on my ass in benefits, free food, and other payments.

only a psychopath or an idiot would think it is "retarded" that everyone should be able to get healthcare.

do you realize that most modern countries have some version of medicare for all?
And it's inefficient. They are fucking up.
If you wanted to guarantee free healthcare for all, Castro style is far more efficient.
If you are going to go retard, it's way better to go full retard.

It is something we should guarantee every single person gets.you are proposing that only a tiny group of people should have to sacrifice.
It's far, far easier to put a gun to a Doctor's head than putting a gun to every taxpayer's head. Way fewer guns involved.
Efficient authoritarianism. Castro style.

Why would doctors work for free? they have to feed their families too.
I guess we can compromise here. Poor people can pay their doctors with boxes of macaroni and cheese. That's affordable healthcare for all if doctors refuse to work for free.

What are you talking about? Why would doctors work for free? they have to feed their families too. You know what is a much better plan? Have the government actually pay for people's healthcare so that poor people aren't dependent on charity to be able to live.
If socialist doctors don't believe in free healthcare, then why should I? They should be giving heathcare for free as it's a human right.
Greedy doctors shouldn't deny poor people healthcare, right?

Race is a word with multiple definitions.
Thank you for confirming the charge "racist" is arbitrary, moot, and devoid of any certain meaning.
There is scientifically no nation on the planet where the people living there have unique genes found in no other nation on the earth.
Using nations to describe "races" is the epitome of junk science used to promote misinformation, panic, and discord.
There is no such concept nor any accepted definition of "the American Race" or any other "national race" for that matter.
If you truly somehow believe some or every nation=race, then all such nations are racist for not including other races.
Pure bullshit. There are no pure races and no pure race nations as well. Whites, Browns, Blacks, and Yellows have DNA from all over the globe. Skin color denotes practically nothing genetically. Skin color is a tiny percentage of DNA with a single phenotype among millions of phenotypes. Nations don't have unique, scientifically measurable DNA within their borders.
America isn't a race.
Mexico isn't a race.
UK isn't a race.
China isn't a race.

Hey, guess what Fredo? America isn't a race either. White America is a fantasy nation. So is Brown America. So is Black America. There is not a single place you can live in America where segregation by color shade is de jure or de facto.
Except maybe on some fringe left utopia campuses.

Liberals believe multiculturalism is a high standard of living, so if your neighborhood is flooded with Rwandan bushmen and Yemeni goat herders, your standard of living went up.

National Center for Biotechnology.
The NCBI houses a series of databases relevant to biotechnology and biomedicine and is an important resource for bioinformatics tools and services. Major databases include GenBank for DNA sequences and PubMed, a bibliographic database for biomedical literature.
NCBI published in 2006 a paper titled:
Infectious diseases emerging from Chinese wet-markets: zoonotic origins of severe respiratory viral infections.
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:
In China, close contacts between humans and food animals have resulted in the transmission of many microbes from animals to humans. The two most notable infectious diseases in recent years are severe acute respiratory syndrome and avian influenza. In this review, these two severe zoonotic viral infections transmitted by the respiratory route, with pandemic potential, are used as models to illustrate the role of Chinese wet-markets in their emergence, amplification, and dissemination.
RECENT FINDINGS:
Two research groups independently discovered the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-like viruses in horseshoe bats. An astonishing diversity of coronaviruses was also discovered in different species of bats. For the recent and still ongoing avian influenza H5N1 outbreak that originated in Southeast Asia, from 2003 to 21 April 2006, 204 humans have been infected, with 113 deaths. Most patients had recent direct contact with poultry.
SUMMARY:
In Chinese wet-markets, unique epicenters for transmission of potential viral pathogens, new genes may be acquired or existing genes modified through various mechanisms such as genetic reassortment, recombination, and mutation. The wet-markets, at closer proximity to humans, with high viral burden or strains of higher transmission efficiency, facilitate the transmission of the viruses to humans.
Now every CNN and MSM and Chinese outlet has censored the scientific discussion of cultural wet markets facilitating the creation of animal-to-human viruses because it might cause discrimination against the race of China.
1) Is there a unique definable Chinese race?
2) Do all of the "Chinese race" practice the culture of wet markets?
3) Do you believe NCBI is in part being purposefully racist in their motivation for publishing this paper?
4) Is it still racist to call COVID-19 the Wuhan virus?

How would you know? If Trump is making a valid point, CNN cuts away and refuses to cover the presser. Hell, they even cut away from Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx when they are giving out info about Coronavirus to the public.
If all I saw was an endless montage of CNN gaffes, I would think Trump was insane too.

The point is that we made many of these safety nets at a time when a tiny percentage of the population much less than 10% needed that safety net, so we can afford it.
That's certainly not the case anymore considering the deficits in EVERY sanctuary city. The country isn't designed to have a "safety net" for over 25% of the population.

They pay taxes into services they can't use.
Free food, free housing, free education, free phone, free police services, free emergency healthcare.
1)Free Food: DTA in my state(a sanctuary state) does not ask for a social security number for food assistance. You don't even have to prove the kids in your household are yours for extra food. There are also many state-run and state-funded food/boarding programs like Citizens Inn.
So GTFO with this "can't access dat" shit
2) Free housing: See above.
GTFO with this "can't access dat" shit
3) Free education: All illegals get free education.
GTFO with this "can't access dat" shit
4) Free police services: Not only do they protect illegals from crime, but they actively make sure ICE can't get to them either.
GTFO with this "can't access dat" shit
5) Free emergency healthcare: the only way a hospital emergency room can turn away an illegal invader is if they close their doors to everyone, including American taxpayers.
GTFO with this "can't access dat" shit

Immigrants increase the tax base,
Lol, tax the poor! Like any party has ever done that. They wouldn't be illegally pillaging our social safety net if it cost them more to do it.
Coyotes take in far more money than the IRS ever will from the wetbacks. Over 10,000 dollars a trip per person. Maybe if the politicians used the IRS to tax the poor as they do in Nordic nations, we wouldn't have an illegal problem.

lol so the difference between your ancestors and the current illegal immigrants is your ancestors murdered the people who already lived here and stole the land. The current illegal immigrants just want a chance to live here with the current inhabitants.
Who needs to pillage land nowadays? Free food, free housing, free education, free phone, free police services, free emergency healthcare. That's where the real pillaging is at.

you realize that these are policies the left supports right?
Then why are they fucking it up so bad in California, Michigan and New York? Objectively the worst places to be as a homeless person.
None of those states claim ANY responsibility for the shitty policies that have grown the homeless population despite decades of unobstructed absolute rule in those states. If you are homeless in any of those states, you can be assured you won't get a starter job, psychiatric intervention, or a decent place away from drugs, crime and feces to live. Your wealth as a homeless person in a Democratic State is dependant on State welfare which is capped at whatever level the State sees fit. No rung on the ladder for you. No upward mobility. No opportunity. Generational poverty is your future in those states.
Talk is cheap.

lol now i am 100% you have little understanding of how trade works. There is no chance america could successfully become completely self sufficient. It would obliterate the standard of living of 95% of the population and cause mass riots.
Then you have no understanding of human ingenuity. For fuck's sake we can grow avocados in hydroponic farms. What the fuck do we need other countries for? Fossil fuels? Nope. Rare minerals? Nope. Rare foods? Nope. We can even grow our own illegal drugs.
Sure people might riot for a few months as they did recently over the toilet paper...if you want to call that a "riot", but supply will be there in a matter of months, not decades. This isn't some backward banana republic that refuses to allow new industry. We are rated in the top 10 for economic freedom for new business owners. The riots you are thinking of won't ever happen here when most people know there is a buck to be made supplying a demand. So what if China cuts us off from medicine. We got this in a matter of months, just like anything else we used to get from China.

So when china decides they don't want to export to us anymore, then what? Will americans think it is such a great win when the american economy completely collapses because it is completely dependent on foreign countries to prop it up?
Nah, then it becomes a very simple supply/demand calculus by then. People will pay more for American grown food. End of story. No Slave-wages Civil War era economy needed at all.
Just like Americans are going to pay more to get Corona equipment right now made in American factories.
America is NOT wealthy because of foreign trade. It's wealthy DESPITE it, as we regularly run trade deficits on a yearly basis all over the globe simply because we can afford it. American wealth comes from American productivity first and always. We could close off all trade and be completely self-sufficient within a few years if we wanted to.
