  • It’s about 9k a day. That’s just all deaths. Medically treatable and avoidable deaths is 624 a day. According to the only numbers I can find, but it’s wonky, so I’ll grant you it may not be precise, but it’s probably a good ballpark number.

    Even if it’s one person a day that dies without necessity of a preventable and treatable cause that universal healthcare would have fixed, that’s a lot of deaths. And it’s more than one CEO who likely thought very seriously about the question ‘‘is curing anyone a good business model?’’

    TRUMP runs on ethnic clensing, claims he won’t project 2025, wins, immediately puts authors of 2025 in every key position. Convicted of over 30 felonies, convicted rapist, says ‘‘there will be some hardship’’ while selling is economic strategies that will destroy US economy, wants to stop billions a day in trade from Mexico. Refuses to appoint anyone that can pass a background check. Decides he doesn’t need to even PRETEND hell be lawful and ethical, caught on hot mic taking about disarming citizens. .

    • soft to no press coverage . Biden pardons his son. .
    • entire newscycle every day dedicated to the ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE this grievous crime is. Now the Presidential office is forever tainted… . It’s hard to even grasp how deeply loyal to Trump these institutions are.


  • So you refuse to understand anything more complex than the surface. How lost are you when you watch a movie? When Micheal Corleone says “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse” are you just like, “That’s pretty nice of him to offer a business deal that’s so favorable he’ll accept it, I thought these guys were rivals.”





  • I just know there are Christians out there that have a very tenuous grasp on why exactly Jesus is the savior in Christianity and many think it’s because his death was UNIQUELY painful. The idea that it was uniquely painful is very much nonsense, or we’d have a lot of saviors. He had a horrible but common place death.


  • Wait till you hear about infants. They are so tiny a human, they can’t deal with the low temps anywhere near as well as an adult, one of the kids that died in the TX freeze was 7. I’m sorry his family didn’t know about body heat and keeping children in the middle of adults to keep warm. I seriously feel grief over this specific loss of life. I just lived in very cold climates that you forget people who never had to learn how to live in extreme cold just don’t know about the basics. Don’t get too close to the fire, don’t sleep alone.



  • It happened to a huge amount of people. The Romans crucified so many people, it was so common place, that they didn’t even bother to write down how they did it. All I’m saying is, it wasn’t a unique form of suffering that was particularly difficult to Jesus vs thousands of other people in history. If the difficulty of the death was the measure, he didn’t go that far out of his way.
