    americans are generally happy with their health insurance, unless they’re sick, which is when they need the health insurance, so it’s almost like people who have not yet had to actually deal with their health insurance company beyond sending them money every month are happy with their health insurance because they assume this thing they’re paying for is going to cover them when they time comes that they need it

    NPR is such fucking horse shit. i still remember during covid the “two sides of the minimum wage debate” on NPR were side 1. nepobaby who inherited a chain of grocery stores who says raising wages is bad, and side 2. an ‘economist’ who says raising wages is bad. the two sides of the debate.

      “two sides of the minimum wage debate”

      Just a minute ago I made fun of the “left-right” opinion show on PBS.

      “Brooks and Capehart”

      David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart analyze the political news of the week.

      Capehart is the “left” yet it’s PBS and not the Onion.
