President Joe Biden - Kamala Harris Administration


View attachment 604335

Could be I've just missed it, but where is the discussion about illegals causing a run on housing? They have to be staying somewhere. Millions don't show up without impacting the cost of housing. Same with food and all other of life's necessities. Just no way the illegal surge isn't contributing to inflation. It's even worse when you consider the transfer of taxpayer dollars from citizens to illegals. Demand forces inflationary pressure, and adding millions to the demand side has to lead to inflation ... inflation at the expense of the taxpayer.
 

Trump Claims Kamala Harris would be a Better President than Biden​


Republican 2024 presidential front-runner Donald Trump claimed on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris would make a better president than her boss, Joe Biden, stating that no one could be worse than the man currently in the role.

Trump said he believes that a presidential vote for Biden is really a vote for Harris. Severe concern has been raised over the president's age and mental acuity going into 2024, placing a lot of pressure on the vice president if he was elected to another four-year term.


 
I can’t say that I blame them. Navy leadership is inept and so is our civilian leadership.

It probably should fall under the NATO command structure - ideally the UN ... except that it's useless. However, it's decided (like maybe the number of participants) there should be a local commander, and that would likely be US since it seems we've been the most proactive with what appears to the be greatest contribution of forces.

Biden is the most weak, feckless leader in our lifetime. He has also appointed weak leaders in the military.

Europe, for it own part, may suffer this winter. Some of that oil now has to sail around Africa instead of going through the Suez canal.
 
President Biden Took A Porsche To 171 MPH With Help From Launch Control

As it turns out, the 46th president is a fan of launch control. It sounds like he had never been in a car equipped with the feature until relatively recently when he drove an unspecified Porsche. The circumstances of the Commander-In-Chief's drive are unclear, but speaking to O'Brien, he says "You know the new ones? They have a launch switch. I got a Porsche up to 171 miles an hour," going on to explain how the feature works. "It is incredible."
 
If anyone can actually demonstrate to me that allowing people to go to the doctor for "free" all the time actually results in better overall health in the society then I'd be closer to on board.

The problem is that "healthcare" in the modern world is not aimed at healing or health at all. So what we end up with is a neverending spiral of spending that's basically just a subsidy for hospital systems, insurance companies, and big pharma. Who knew the average leftoid was such a corporate teat-sucker?
That's a tough nut, but I'll take a stab.

I hope @kiddiedoc will weigh in on this one.

Preventative health care is difficult to quantify because if you don't get sick, how do you know WHY you didn't get sick? So going to the doctor 'all the time' as you say (and I know what you are getting at actually, and this is not really the argument here) results in being 'less' sick, then you have saved money by not requiring further treatment. That translates to fewer medicines required which saves money (big pharma doesn't like that though). A GREAT example is the debate between Ivermectin and the ClotShot. Ivermectin... cheap and readily available. Not much profit/cost. ClotShot.... expensive and initially in short supply. When the panic mechanism was triggered among the weak minded by a president hating/complicit media... big pharma cranked up production and made lots of money off of the .gov. And the hidden gem in ALL of that was: wash your hands, don't touch your face and if you are sick, stay home. Cheap, effective and unquantifiable.

If we had only known that was an option to begin with...... <- sarcasm

Docs may sign on to the Hippocratic Oath, but drug companies and the government sign the Hypocritic Oath.

I'm happy to weigh in, and I'd be more able if you would ask a more specific direction.

About half of my job could be considered "preventive" care. Most of the issues I deal with at routine Well Checks involve proper nutrition, fostering proper neurocognitive and social development, immune protection from serious illnesses, accident aversion, and the early detection of problems that can be treated before they become more consequential. By that measure, in some ways I function (and profit) in the opposite manner from large pharmaceutical companies that need a population dependent on medication.

One of the most satisfying aspects of practicing Pediatrics is that most of my patients and the illnesses/issues I address actually get better. That's obviously not the case with older adults. A lot of that is prolonging the inevitable and mitigating damage done by decades of poor lifestyle choices and old Father Time.
