also a lot of libertarian types think charity is how healthcare should be tackled for the less privilegeded. the problem with that, is just that it's not chariy's burden to share. we're the richest country in the world and every other developed country delivers healthcare to everyone at half the cost... the social contract should be such that the government figures out a solution.
You have to watch what you ask for in terms of the role of government. The role of government is to enforce negative rights and you see what happens to governments who think the opposite when you see things like the Cambodian killing fields or nazi Germany.
Anyway if you see a problem was created with certain policies that. Rolling back those policies would obviously entirely fix that problem

People that believe no unicorns exist due to no evidence known.Is not a weak basis.
That's still considered weak non belief in unicorns. A strong atheism would be thinking that there is evidence to support the non existence of unicorns.

With over 40,000 gun related deaths per year, I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Guns have been practically outlawed in New York. many are indicating confusion at how gun crime could occur at all.

Of course the public doesn't realize that it's probably the hospital ceos who are just as if not more responsible for our exorbitant healthcare costs, although they aren't the ones denying insurance coverage.
The problem is that interventionist laws were passed that caused health insurance to become a thing under FDR. This insurance means that consumers do not see the prices of service so they don't care to negotiate which drives prices up. The problem was literally caused by economic interventionism and stupid leftists are like.
"Hmmmm the source of the problem is economic I terventionism. Well let's solve this through economic interventionism "

Insider trading hurts literally nobody. I am going to summarize the following article in my own words but feel free to read the original for more clarity. https://www.theconservative.online/insider-trading-victimless-crime
the merchant
There had been a famine on the island of Rhodos. A merchant from Alexandria arrives on his ship which is heavily laden with wheat. He expects more merchants to be on their way to the island because he could see their sails on the distant horizon. The question is whether the merchant has to reveal this to the islanders. It would definitely deprive him of the chance to sell his wheat at a much higher price than would otherwise be the case.
I would argue that there is no ethical obligation. His knowledge is his own and if he benefits from it he harms nobody. The people he is selling wheat to also own their own knowledge and have no .moral obligation to tell the merchant anything.
The merchant doesn't know if those other ships will make it to land or be swallowed up by a tornado. He doesn't know if they were even heading there or if he could be mistaken.
This is entirely different than if his wheat was bad and he failed to disclose it. However he is selling what he claims to be selling and the product is good in the above scenario.
horse racing
lets say i am at Delaware Park and consideri g betting on a horse race. Lets say I walk by a horse and notice he has an erect penis. (Horse betters are weird and think that makes the horse run faster) now am I under some moral requirement to tell people I saw that an underdog horse has an erect penis? Of couse not. It is silly.
I can think of that horses erect penis all I want when making my bet and I harm nobody. Jell maybe I tell a friend about the horses penis. My friend just received Insider information. Us he being unethical if he doesn't start shouting about the horses penis to everyone in line to make a bet?
I think not. Now if somebody drugged a horse to rig the race, certainly that is unethical but not bringing up the strong raging erection of the finest stud on the track, is okay.
Insider trading hurts nobody. Martha Stewart didn't hurt anybody by acting on a stock tip any more than I hurt anybody if I saw an erect horse penis and got excited. Then bet on him.
so why is insider trading illegal
technically it is only illegal for outaiders and the poor. CEOs do it all the time and have the right to exercise their share options at will, but why are people against insider trading.
Well there are 2 reasons and neither are valid
1. They are a CEO and hate seeing normal people benefit from advanced knowledge.
2. They are a poor fag and though the trading has zero effect on them, they are too stupid to obtain insider information so exercise their jealousy by hating on based insider Chad's.
conclusion
Insider trading is a victimless crime and it is only banned because CEOs are greedy and because poor fags are player haters.

Do you know how retarded it is for me to show you how you strawmanned liberals because you are too stupid to understand their opinion and then you turn around and strawman Republicans because you are too stupid to understand their opinion as some sort of rebuttal.

Yes, disparaging celebrities and rich people on the internet goes across party lines. It has for a while now. Yet there they still are
It sickens me that I am drawing them closer to my circle. I am pretty sure if I just state my political opinions Loudly they will keep their distance from me though.
It's a free country, not a rent-free country
I wonder if we banned the renting out of single family homes if buying houses would become affordable again. Also I think it's more the realization that landlords are getting really just ahitty people.
The one sided leases are scummy. The fact that they stuff literally everyone out of deposits. I have never known somebody to rent from a private landlord and not need to take them to court over their deposit.
This is nothing you have stated you disagree with but decided to rant here for fun.
The hate of the rich you mentioned is what gets me. I hate them and it has held me back because I don't want to become the thing I hate and everything I climb my way up to 6 figures I just jump to a new industry from the bottom and work myself up again and the see 6 figures as rich so get disgusted with myself and decide to go to the bottom.
I have recently decided that I am not rich unless I make 500k a year so hopefully that keeps me from any self destructive tendencies for a while, but knowing my luck some retard will make me CEO of an insurance company and I will be forced to do insider trading or something to tear it all down

Trump and the Republicans party are still planning to ban Obamacare.
Did you see last time?
He literally was going to ban it but the plan was to replace it with something almost identical but removing the most controversial parts and adding in some popular measures. By the way after democrats voted against that, many of those same changes that would have turned obamacare into trumpcare have been implemented.
If you really want to dig into the healthcare thing. It worked better before FDR took measures to bring about the modern healthcare industry. Basically how it worked prior to FDR ruining things was doctors had sliding scale fees and people just payed what they could afford and it was expected to be that way

That's true but his wife said he got death threats from those who didn't have adequate coverage
Bullshit. They deny claims for some really stupid reasons regardless of coverage. So many people probably denied and with loved ones lost as a result of the insurance company being the final say on a procedure and challenging the authority of doctors

Imagine him squirreling away his wealth for 30 years, late nights at the office trying to suck up to the boss, stressful phonecalls from the Cayman islands at 2am telling them the offshore account's been found, blackmail from Epstein and Mossad telling him not to talk or else the pictures get leaked, blood pressure 200/140 all day every day and only ludes help but they don't make those any more so you have to get knock-off Mexican ludes smuggled in some border-hopping spics asshole but you take em anyway cos that's the only way you can still sleep at night, just dreaming of that day soon when you finally retire to a tropical island with your ill-gotten gains and live the next 50 years in the lap of luxury, sitting on your own private beach getting served mojitos and sucked off by big titty Filipina bartenders and then some nigger shoots you point black in the head LOL.

the reason I asked people who visited Casey and I was to control for factors that may have affected my results, such as a redirect or bus driver.
I got Casey's name in my PM so I was not bus driven.

I assume I am getting lynched. I just don't want you guys to get gas lit next DP.
I actually just thought of a situation where he could get false information. I am asking the mod right now if that could have happened, but my theory where mharman could be town is really far fetched unless the mod answers my question in an unexpected way

This is starting to get a little strange to me. So your argument is that scum had knowledge of the response that you received somehow,
I literally stated in this thread he called Casey by name so obviously they complained after that point

Just because it is excusable to get this vote wrong, doesn't mean we have to. We can still lynch mharman

@whiteflame
Why would mharman start by asking who visited Casey? My theory is that he was planning to claim watcher or something but changed his mind and then started to shift and who visited him.
The mod must have been bitched at for mentioning that my action on Casey was successful though no PM was necessary. That's the only reason he would correct it to "player targeted is dead" in the PM.
The original plan for mharman was to say 2 people visited Casey so if I flip innocent he had the other person to mislynch the next dp, he saw this wouldn't work so had to quickly and without much forfought claim he was randomly some sort of self watcher. Why else switch from asking who visited Casey to who visited him?
Also whoever bitched to the mod was online just prior to me posting what I did which just leaves I believe you and lunatic.
From everyone's perspective this should be 1 v 1 and anyone claiming it isn't should be sussed because no other explanation exists for mharman not only switching claims by asking who else visited Casey to then himself. It is simply not possible for their to be a role here that could trick him

Bro you were town read andvi was the likely lynch anyway. Why did you donit
Created:
Posted in:
Given that lunatic was the one to say "maybe we shouldn't install lynch mharman next dp" I think it indicates some frustration that the most town read scum player is now in an unwinnable position
Created:
Posted in:
There is the possibility that the scum team botched that I was told who my target was. Which would indicate the scum team was recently online and mad about a soon to be town confirmed player being able to definitively show mharman was lying.
Created:
Posted in:
Some non impaxtgul Clarification that I shouldnt even share because it is literally non impact full.
The mod clarified that instead of saying 'casey" my message should have said "your target"
But that the part that said my message couldn't be opened because the recipient is dead is intentional. So unless they can redirect me to GP it means the same thing

@whiteflame
I’d like to at least hear WyIted out before anyone hammers
There is nothing else to hear unless you think there is some information I am aware of that could change minds.
With that said I think my reads are decent and if I reread the last dp and this more seriously that I can at least be of some benefit to town by dropping some analysis prior to death. The meta here is to ignore dead players generally as stupid as that is, because as we all know dead players are the most honest and trustworthy

@ILikePie5
Before he even answers. I get the feeling Austin gifted scum mharman a vig if you are town and that sort of thing gets a free pass in the endgame you are a pussy.
After a known mislynch, gifting any sort of vig should not have happened at all

@AustinL0926
I am clogging up the dp a lot so I will stop but from what you know of the site he came from, are there any roles that scum could potentially have that would make me and Austin both town?
Did you do something dumb like gift him a Vig shot which makes a gambit like this make sense?
Assuming we are 5-2
Mislynch/ NK = 3-2
But if you gave him a vig than it is 2-2 and a scum win
You need to out it right now if you gifted him a vig because that puts us at MYLo if that's the case and town deserves all the facts to make a decision. If you did give him a vig and you can't bring yourself to lynch him than we need to no lynch to bring us down to LYLO, where the decision will still be tough but it will at least narrow somebody's POE and be beneficial
