A couple of years ago I was almost t-boned by a woman who slid halfway into the intersection. The turn lane she was in was icy.

This morning I saw a woman who had completely slid off of an icy entrance ramp to the interstate. She was still there about an hour later.
Tow trucks have probably been a little busy this morning.

You can see the front tires of the uncooperative to that point woman's truck spinning on ice yesterday. the tires appear to be headed towards the officer.
If the front tires would have been on dry pavement the officer wouldn't have had a chance.

I saw and thought the same thing.

The reason universal health care never happens is because for someone to run for office and win, the primary traits needed are narcissism and charisma, not intelligence and an ability to adroitly explain why a policy is good to someone by meeting them where they are.

Bernie - over and over - "Health care is a human right". That does pretty well with someone struggling to pay their health insurance. But if someone has a job with good insurance, all they hear is "I want to increase your taxes".

If you instead make sure you discuss things like small businesses and entrepreneurs being more able to start and run businesses because they aren't trying to navigate employee heath insurance, or would be more able to hire workers from larger firms - who would otherwise stay put just because of health insurance - in order to grow their small businesses, you win. Show how much profit health insurance companies have made over the last few years, make it clear that the government is not for profit so all those shareholder profits and CEO pay packages would now be used to pay for health care and prescriptions, and we can use that savings to instead have thousands of people being paid to deny claims, just cover the claims. That people who get sick and go into medical bankruptcy end up being a drag on the economy, instead of simply taking care of them so they can get back to producing for the economy.

Nichi is 10x as good at explaining it than any politician.

I agree. And emphasize how many people are stuck in jobs they are unhappy at because they are afraid of losing their healthcare coverage. Real freedom is not having these fears.

Germany has “free” college and healthcare at the expense of some of the highest effective tax rates in the world. 50-55% in many cases. Even with that level of taxation in a rich country, the cost of their welfare is putting major strain on their finances. Now they’re confronted with having to pay their fair share for NATO and self defense and there isn’t enough to go around. Our healthcare system is far from perfect, but I’m glad I’m in the situation I am now versus being in a Western European power collapsing under its own weight.

This video sure shows her hitting him. Very sad what happened, but she FAFO. This isn’t a game and people think it is…

This is a poor quality, sped up video. It is also after the vehicle had turned. Dismissed.

Yeah, that video is about as real as PAMan’s grip on reality.

Luckily her brakes were just enough to prevent a collision after you ran the red light.

The problem with this emphasis is that it the corollary is that some people are stuck in marriages that are unhappy to keep the health insurance from their spouse, and that opens up a huge can of worms with MAGA. Except Custard, he's too much of a puss to make his woman an honest woman.

Video from this angle sure looks like he wasn't hit as he was out of the way to shoot the 1st shot.

one of my bigger takeaways from all this is that these ICE agents went to the John Kruk school of training. Just a bunch of fat tubs of goo

Don’t kid yourself, some of these guys have been training for this their whole lives.

I thought the front wheels were spinning and she was headed straight for the agent? I haven't seen that.
