| Topic | Politics Containment Topic 254: Pete's Whine Cave |
| Reg 12/20/19 2:45:42 PM #179 | pyresword posted... It feels like you're intentionally trying to discredit LotM and get others to not take him seriously by calling his character into question, which fits the word "smear" pretty well.That side of it goes back to the majority of LotM's posts in this topic series literally being the "trump bad m i rite?" Twitter posts, and when we do have discussions like this there are a large number of places where he misses or ignores key points (willingly or inadvertantly, I don't really care which), so a lot of frustration is starting to boil over here. |

| Reg 12/20/19 2:38:03 PM #168 | pyresword posted... LotM is claiming that M4A, if improperly implemented, won't have the desired outcome and will end up bad for everyone, and you guys are responding by saying that the desired outcome is good (which I don't think anyone is disputing?) and so therefore LotM must be wrong.Frankly, my only real interest with healthcare is finding a way for people to get out of the private system that isn't "oh, you got sick? Guess you're bankrupt now". Some form of single payer would do that best, but I acknowledge it's not the only way. The other piece here that's at the crux of the discussion but that has not been highlighted today is LotM's complete fucking ignorance of how political barganing works. As always, he appears to be under the belief that you can start negotiations at a public option and wind up with a public option. Or at least, that's the position he's arguing from. Despite literally citing the ACA already. |

And again, it's obvious why they're against it!Yes, becuase they're running a fucking scam operation and don't want to have their profits reduced at all. Fucking pigs, all of them. If any of them gave a shit about anything except bottom lines, they'd at least be fine with a public option existing. Private insurance companies do not have any patient's best interests anywhere near their hearts, but you continue to go to bat for them every time you get the chance. If I didn't know better, I'd be questioning whether you were getting paid to do so. |

| Reg 12/20/19 2:25:27 PM #160 | LordoftheMorons posted... The ACA was good for insurers and for patients. And I'm not saying that good for insurers --> good for patients. I'm saying it's fucking obvious why insurers are against M4A (the plan would literally ban their current product!) and that their opposition is irrelevant to evaluating the merits or risks of M4A for Americans.You know what the ACA originally had that the insurance companies railed against hard both then and now? A public option |

| Reg 12/20/19 2:05:52 PM #148 | LordoftheMorons posted... But there's not a one-to-one trade off between insurance profits and patient outcomes! You can do plenty of things that are bad for bothWhy does this ignore the disgustingly long track record private insurers have of doing things that are great for profits but really shitty (and sometimes even functionally lethal) for patients? This is why Chris considers you bad faith, and frankly this is why I agree with him. |

If I remember right, pretty much all the established GOP powers were strongly anti-Trump until it was clear he would get the nomination.I'd be much more inclined to say yes if the established GOP powers didn't line up behind him and co-opt everything the second it became clear he would, but if nothing else I'm pretty sure this is the closest answer we'll see going back 25 years or so. |

| Reg 12/12/19 1:20:36 PM #18 | Kemono Michi is entertaining. Its primary flaw is that almost the entire cast is one-note characters to an even greater extent than people joke about Konosuba's main girls being that way. And yeah, it's pretty trashy. Also between OreSuki, Hoshiai no Sora, Babylon, After School Dice Club and (if you're fine with trashy lowbrow isekai comedy) Kemono Michi, this season is pretty solid even without looking at sequels and such tbh |

Yeah I play PPR. I should probably mention there's a minor bonus to RB's for volume. We give 0.2 points per rush attempt to try close the non pass catching RB's upto the WR field for flex position purposes. Oh, uh, this actually makes Ekeler vs Drake an interesting discussion, though I think I still choose Ekeler here. They're both better than any of your WRs regardless and it's not enough to make Powell a factor though. |
| Topic | NFL Discussion Topic Week 14 |
| Reg 12/08/19 12:58:45 PM #16 | Sutton/Chark/Ekeler seems like the obvious play to me. I think Ekeler is the best fantasy guy on that list by a bit if you're playing PPR, with #2 being Drake. Powell should not be a consideration with the Jets Coach and O-Line imo. Boyd is an intriguing play with Dalton back under center, but I still think the other two are better and playing Woods means relying on Goff which is a big yikes from me. You could make the case to go Sutton/Boyd if the risk of a bust scares you more than the higher ceiling. meanwhile I've been flopping Robby Anderson and Cole Beasley in my WR2 slot for the past half hour and I think I'm settling on Anderson but I'm a bit scared in spite of the theoretical A+ matchup |
