It's something you hear in fiction like House of Cards quite often, but usually when there isn't a major character associated with the country. With China they're in talks with China, whereas with Russia they're in talks with Petrov.

So, assume the population won't go up and that the estimated number who will die is on the low end of the spectrum. The repeal or delay of taxes is expected to be $541 billion over ten years, or an average $54.1 billion a year. Divide that by 18,000 and you get about $3 million a person. Each person will be allowed to die so that taxes can decrease and that the wealthiest can collectively retain that much money. God fucking bless, a mainstream media outlet has actually said it. And it's even more disgusting to read coming from a place like Forbes (especially with how pro-business/money that magazine is in particular) than to hear it from random people or even think about it myself --- Congratulations to BKSheikah, winner of the BYIG Guru Contest ...

Yeahhh trying to pin down Lasa as a shill for dems is pretty off base if you've actually been reading his posts "for almost a year". He's the guy that views American politics from a non-American frame of reference.
Like that time he thought climate change was a bipartisan policy that Dems don't deserve any "points" for supporting! --- I request affiliated many pipes. Been a bad girl, I know I am. And I'm so hot, I need a fan. I don't want a boy, I need a man. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I very strongly agree that they should be allowed to take the kid home. Like, wtf. However, given that as far as I can tell, no doctor actually thinks the experimental treatment will cure him and give him a chance to survive off life support, I'm ok with the government not paying for that. The family not being allowed to use private funds is a different matter that goes further into the child's quality of life (what little there is left) than I'm willing to play philosopher on at work. Trying to phrase this particularly extreme example as "horrors of socialized medicine" is hugely disingenious though. --- Congratulations to BKSheikah, winner of the BYIG Guru Contest ...
