AOC on Healthcare Denial

And so you end up with more and more stuff being tacked on.
And that means that, you know, what do you need?
End-of-life hospice care gets tacked on to health insurance, which young people don't want, need, or care about.
So, I mean, the whole point of Obamacare was to crash the system and then say, hey, look, we need socialism.
AOC said a denial of an insurance claim is like an act of violence.
Right, right.
Sure, it feels that way.
It feels that way.
Now, of course, if AOC feels that a denial of a healthcare claim is an act of violence, then I guess, like women as a whole, she has two, count them, two choices.
Number one, what you can do, AOC, is you can start an insurance company that never denies a claim.
And that way, you won't be committing any acts of violence.
Just start an insurance company.
Which never denies a claim, and you are set.
Well, actually, that's quite a lot of work, though, isn't it?
Yeah, sorry, that is quite a lot of work.
That's no good.
Oh, wait, hang on.
You know what else you can do is bitch about it.
Yeah, yeah, that's it, that's it.
I could start my own insurance company and never deny a claim, or I can complain about it.
Yeah, I guess she just ended up complaining about it.
Like, it's all the people who are like, women are only paid 77 cents on the dollar.
It's like, well, men work more.
They work more difficult jobs.
They work more challenging jobs.
They work harder.
They work in a more concentrated fashion.
They're willing to give up their weekends.
They work in more highly renumerative jobs, and they work with things rather than people, which is easier to replicate value.
So, what you could do, if you think women are underpaid, is just start an all-female engineering company, and given that women are paid 77 cents on the dollar, you could probably charge 10% less than everyone else while producing the same amount of value you'd take over the entire industry.
So, you could start a company that hires women!
Or, or, go with me here, you could just bitch, moan, and complain about it.
Everybody who bitches, moans, and complains about it knows that what they're saying is bullshit.
So...
So, drama.
So, we are built for drama.
We are built for excitement.
We are built for challenge.
We are built for war.
We're built for combat.
We're built for, right, fighting.
Now, we want to fight the good fight, verbally, peacefully, reasonably, and so on.
But we're built for combat.
And either you do genuine good in the world, or you pursue drama.
Either way, you're going to get drama.
Hey, I I think it could be safe to say that I've had just a little smidge of drama in my own life when it comes to promoting virtue in the world, just a little smidge of drama in my own life, and I don't need drama in my life because I have the drama of pursuing virtue and opposing evil, right?
I have that in life, right?
I have that in life.
So because I'm actually doing good in the world, that's my drama.
That's my excitement.
That's my drama.
Because I'm doing good in the world.
But people who aren't doing good in the world still need the same level of drama.
They just make up useless shit for that.
They just make up useless shit for that.
All right.

So, you understand that for a lot of women, for Luigi Mancione, or whatever his name is, the fact that he goes out andices a healthcare executive, what that means is that other healthcare executives are the fact that he goes out andices a healthcare executive, what that means is that other healthcare So, women get healthcare because someone killed someone.
That's how it works.
So people are like, ooh, let's review our denial of claims process because Bro just got gunned down with three bullets named after a Don't Deny Claims healthcare book.
So women are now going to get additional healthcare because Luigi gunned a guy down.
So for them, it's like, well, if the hunter's got to ice a deer for us to get food, great.
And if Bro's got to ice an executive for us to get healthcare, well, life is more important than death and he's our hero.
He's our hero!
Right?
That's how it works.
Get shit for free.
Based on violence, right?
Ah.
Bum.
Yeah, like at some point, at some point, people are going to figure out.
It's going to be pretty rough, man.
But at some point, at some point, people are going to figure out that you can't steal Bitcoin and then the world is collectively going to lose its shit.
As soon as Bitcoin starts to take its place at the center of our economic understanding, people are going to be like, I can't steal this shit.
Alright.
Yeah, it's tough too because, let me ask you this.
Let me ask you this.
Let me ask you this.
Wait, I got distracted by great questions.
I was disgusted when everyone was celebrating his death, but I guess I see that many other deaths happened at his direct hands as well.
It's like home insurance in the Caribbean.
If chances of your home getting destroyed are high, each year your premiums will be sky high.
