    That wasn’t 1 fire. That was all of their fires combined, in a low population density country. I’d like to assume you know that, but I know you too well. You probably do think that was one fire. Over 85k acres now, and still growing. 0% containment. You still blame Biden for beef prices, lol

    There will be no better example of socialism than the govt getting involved and developing desalination plants to provide water to people who decided to live in areas that do not have sufficient water to survive. Would probably be more efficient to just have people live in areas with fresh...

    The Wuhan lab workers became sick in November 2019. The vaccine became available to all US citizens in April 2021. Sorry, it was 17 months later, not 18 months later as I said. I guess I have to remember that you still think it came from Asians eating bats and pangolins.

    That’s because the govt imposes taxes, regulations, and penalties on private health plans. Of course, they don’t require govt entities to follow those same regulations and requirements. As I said, every time the govt gets involved, private health care costs go up.

    We didn’t have the vaccine until a year and a half after it hit. As I said, most of us already had COVID and survived it easily. Meanwhile, people like you had us masking toddlers. Closed parks and beaches but left liquor stores and dispensaries open. That was “public health” and was not to be...

    Many people WITH health insurance go to the ER when they don’t need to. I show this data to employers on a daily basis when they ask why their plans are running so poorly. Roughly 25% of the ER visits that we see could have been handled at lower cost facilities. Most employers talk to their...

    No, these things are nothing alike. Most of us had already been exposed to COVID and fought it off with little problem. I haven’t seen anyone on here talking about the polio vaccine.

    That’s because unfortunately a lot of people go to the ER when they don’t need to. Typically, they tell those people to go to an urgent care, minute clinic, or PCP (at a much lower cost) to take care of that type of illness or injury. I have that conversation on an almost daily basis when...

    Just think for yourself. The answer is obvious. Older people are more likely to die. Older people were also more likely to get the vaccine.

    Sure, but we don’t just let people die. If somenone is rushed to the ER with a gunshot wound, we treat them regardless of them having insurance coverage or not. We don’t just let them die, as you said. Tough to offer socialized medicine in our country when Democrats want to offer it to the...

    Older, sicker people were more likely to get the vaccine/boosters. Older, sicker people are more likely to die. 5 years later and people still don’t understand the basics. You should show that clip to your doctor and then ask them if you have an increased chance at death because of your...

    That small fire is now the 9th largest wildfire in Colorado history, and is still growing.

    “small fire”. Your state of NY hasn’t had a 40k acre fire season since 1944.
