Bernie started out more professional but spazzed the hell out when RFK started to argue that Health Care was NOT a Human Right. Sorry, Bernie, we can't just make every amenity a human right.

Internet is a Human Right!
Bathtubs are a Human Right!
Beds are a Human Right!

The classic optimism and ignorance of socialism. Things have to cost money, but what if we just made a fuckton of money for everyone? DRILL BABY DRILL!
 
The US should be exactly like Europe!
…Except their abortion laws, voting laws, and now it seems their food safety laws.
Listen we only said those things to make you feel like your country is shitty and backwards, so you would give it up without a fight. Your not supposed to actually sort out the good advice from the bad and improve things.
 
Irrelevant. Warren's position is preposterous. Being a public servant should not prevent you from earning an income after your public service has ended. You are effectively an indentured servant at that point.
You're being just as disingenuous as she is. Nobody is suggesting former regulators not earn a living after their term, they just can't immediately go to work for the people they were just in charge of regulating. If you don't see the problem with that then I really can't help.

This is exactly how we got an out-of-control MIC and massive financial frauds everywhere you look. Generals lobbying for Raytheon and former SEC lawyers becoming defense lawyers specializing in exploiting securities laws.
 
"ARE YOU SUPPORTIVE OF THESE ANTI-VAX ONESIES!?"
One thing I think is worth saying, is vaccines are actually 2 (or more) concepts sharing 1 word. I don't think people really doubt vaccines as a medical CONCEPT, but they doubt vaccines being full of crap like heavy metals and other shit, as well as covid """vaccine""" which wasn't even a vaccine, but an RNA treatment.

And so while people overwhelmingly are ok with vaccines as an idea, they don't want them full of heavy metals, or weird shit like RNA treatment with minimal research. Or any other weird sus shit put in it.

So people can in a way be pro vaccine AND anti vaccine at the same time.

His job is suing the people he would be regulating after his term. How is adversarial interaction "working for them?"
