  • Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?

    Jump

  • I wish I could Thanos-snap the entire health insurance industry out of existence. It's a giant, bloated, bureaucratic middle-man that makes the whole process more expensive, time-consuming, and complicated.

    I've wondered what would happen if people went on a health insurance strike. If everyone (or a large part of the population) cancelled their health insurance, and just negotiated on price directly with providers.

  • I wouldn't say cheaper, but it's definitely easier.

  • Climate engineering carries serious national security risks − countries facing extreme heat may try it anyway, and the world needs to be prepared

    Jump

  • Sad that's it's come to this, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some countries try it.

  • Ukraine: NATO membership a question of 'when, not if'

  • The law of supply and demand is not real.

    Lol, okay bud. If that's the case you should start a business selling eggs for $100 each.

  • Trump said it though, so most people abandoned critical thinking at that point.

  • Humanity will shrink in the future: 97% of countries will experience negative growth by 2100

  • This seems to assume that current trends will continue for the next 76 years, which seems like a generous assumption.

  • Someone gets killed by a car, so they restrict e-bikes.

    Jump

  • I'm aware of the studies, but I can't get past the uneasy sensation when a 10-ton semi truck drives by me at 50mph.

    I'm not sure if it's technically legal to cycle on the sidewalk, but I've seen other people on bikes do it and I've rode past police officers and I've never been stopped or told not too.

  • When cycling (and driving tbh) I assume everyone's an idiot and they're going to hit me until proven otherwise. I don't cross a street at full speed and assume everyone's going to see me. I make eye contact and don't cross unless they see me and start slowing down.

    Cycling directly infront of cars seems like the optimal way to generate road rage, impede traffic, and endanger your own life.
