my unpopular opinion is that they are a waste of time and effort.

    My similar opinion is that Americans could have Universal healthcare for a decade if they gave up the money they spend on football for just one year. NFL. College ball, etc.

      Ya know, they could keep the football if they gave up the “destabilising countries and murdering brown people” thing

        They could have all of that if they gave up even one billionaire. And nothing of value would be lost.

          they could have even more money to murder innocent people if they just fixed their stupid system. they currently pay more per person on healthcare than countries with a functioning healthcare system.

        See!? Even in a theoretical post you’re not willing to give up football and came up with another thing to point your finger at

      We could have universal healthcare if we take the money the us government already spends and cut out the middleman. In fact we would save money that doesn’t even include what we spend already. Insurance is a scam and the fact healthcare and insurance became a for profit industry in 1970s…says a whole lot

        Didnt the CBO say we’d save like 5 trillion dollars over 10-20 years if we did that filthy socialist thing of giving Americans universal healthcare “Medicaid for all”
