There's another interesting twist to this. The insurance company is willing to pay a certain hourly rate to home health care providers. There is a limited number of health care providers willing to work for this rate. Supplementing the rate is not permitted. Lo and behold, it is sometimes not possible to find a health care provider which the insurance will pay for.


This is no secret. The slower transportation is, the safer it is. Those aren't the only parameters though. There is a cost to making the speed limit arbitrarily low. Without discussing what the cost is, this is a bit of a pointless discussion.

That's a lot of confidence that this is a bubble rather than an existential race. Maybe you're making bank betting that view?

Not sure what you mean but if I was to invest I would have invested years ago in NVIDIA.

Given that $5k in nVidia in 2015 when their stock was trading at $0.75/share would be $1.1M today at $173.72/share, that's very principled of you to have the winning pick ready, and not do it.

Well seeing as I didn’t have the money back then sure

Presumably they think that, whatever chance they have of becoming kings if they get there first is more than the chance if someone else does. In we get AGI, we is doing all the work.

I-55. White Supremacy Culture “Educators must acknowledge the existence of white supremacy culture as a primary root cause of institutional racism, structural racism, and white privilege.”

Apparently martin82's comment was too subtle for you so here it is more explicitly. The BBC has a long history of antisemitic and anti-Israel bias. This is not a secret.

If only the Western democracies were subjected to similar genocides, we would have the solution to our TFR problem.

So now when the targeted population is actually increasing, we can still call it a "genocide". And when there is no actual concentration camp we can say there is a "moral concentration camp". Stop getting your news from Al Jazeera, FFS.

> So now when the targeted population is actually increasing, we can still call it a "genocide".

Please show me where the targeted population is "increasing" over the last two years? is it because people from other areas are being forced to relocate and you guys call that a population increase?

Where should i get my news from? last I checked, 100+ journalists came out with a written statement about how higher ups at the BBC were preventing news critical of Israel from being broadcast on air. The concentration camp thing has been corroborated by several news sources including some from within Israel itself. Even CNN nowadays is starting to be critical of the genocide.

What other areas?

Do you have any standards at all for what the word genocide means? You want to get into the muck about whether the population has increased or decreased by some fractional or single digit percentages? All this demonstrates is that you want to twist the meaning of words to support whatever interpretation of events is in vogue with your tribe.


well it turns out that it in fact, has not grown since the war began

but I mean, you guys also call amnesty international, the ICC, the BBC and reality itself antisemetic so believe whatever you want. the only "tribe" I'm in is the one where indiscriminate killing of innocent people is wrong.


Where do you think these data are coming from? You think the UN and Amnesty International have census takers going tunnel to tunnel in Gaza?

Why don't you reveal your standard for what a "genocide" is without discrediting the actual ongoing genocides in other places? Israel has got to be the most incompetent prosecutor of genocide in history.


Struggle harder to explain how 10's of thousands of civilian deaths out of a population of 2 million and which has been increasing during the "genocide" can possibly be a "genocide".

Well, that's also something they said. We may or may not find the final numbers after the war. Remember the official death count is frozen since March 2024, since they killed the people who were counting the deaths.

Right. In this genocide, it will turn out to be either 20,000 or 500,000 casualties. It's early days, though, so let's just preemptively call it a genocide. Just in case.

I really have no idea what you are talking about. There's a genocide. The people who are doing the genocide told us they were doing a genocide, so there's no need to read the tea leaves. Genocides are bad.

Well, the feeling's mutual. Your words seem to form sentences but they have no connection to reality.
