For most situations regarding healthcare, I would absolutely agree with you. But when it comes to antibiotics, I do not think that price is the problem.

Without insurance, a course of generic antibiotics like amoxicillin is going to cost you under $20.
The reason people are buying animal antibiotics isn't because of cost. It's because there are idiots who are taking antibiotics for viral infections and increasing the risk of all of us facing a world where antibiotics are ineffective against bacteria. So they've had to restrict veterinary grade antibiotics because idiots were taking them for their colds.
That is disappointing. It severely limits the ability to have productive conversations when trolls are allowed to run free. It wasn't this bad a few years ago but I guess I'll go look elsewhere for honest debate. Have fun with it.

How have we gone 200+ years with the highest guns per capita of any country on earth?
Uhhh... We haven't?
Has it all been the biggest legal misunderstanding of all time?
Well, in some part, yes. The 2nd Amendment, grammatically speaking, is very badly written and there has always been some controversy there. But for 200 years there really was no major opposition to the idea that guns were not an individual right. But the misinformation really started in 1977. It was at that point that the gun lobby started using the NRA to spread misinformation and propaganda. And that culminated in 2008 with the Heller decision.
The problem now is that we have an several generations of conservatives who have been fed this idea that individual gun rights are the cornerstone of their freedom and the problem with conservatives is that they never bother to question the information that they are fed.
Have you ever heard the term "own goal"?
I think the only person here not seeing the irony of you trying to use this as an insult is you.
people who lack a single creative thought.
Looking for people who you can relate to?
Yeah... That crazy progressive Andrew Jackson! Can't even believe all the wacky progressive things he did... /s
Are you actually thinking you made a point here?
Did you read what this post is about? It isn't about that.
Thanks, yes.
and the supreme court disagrees with you.
It does currently, but prior to the Heller case in 2008, it did not. And the only reason the Miller case was brought to the court was because the Bush admin flipped the majority to conservative in 2005 when O'Connor was replaced by Alito. Prior to that there was no consensus that there was an individual right. But the 2A nuts never seem to have that good of a grasp on history.
Edit: got the case name wrong
I'd rather talk about it, acknowledge it sucks
I keep my sanity by avoiding this. For me, talking about it won't make anything better. But if you really needto there is always the Collapse Club meetups
and then do something
Focus on this.
What exactly are you asking for when you say Android URL? URL stands for universal resource locator and the key word there is universal. There's no such thing as an Android specific URL.
How would not signing your selective service forms do anything to stop Lockheed Martin and Boeing?
Wind turbines work far less often than people think they do. Get a small one and try it out before you invest in a big one.
Lithium batteries win out over AGM in the long run.
Gravity storage doesn't make sense on the small scale home use level. Stick with battery storage for electrons.
I'd be interested to see the efficiency numbers on a home scale sand battery to heat pump set up vs just using excess electricity to heat water and then doing a ground source heat pump for climate control.
Unwavering belief (without undeniable evidence)
Do you actually believe that I spend all those years doing lab work to get my degree because I had an "Unwavering belief"?!?!?! You are hilarious. No... Scientists have the exact opposite of unwavering belief. And the we are more than willing to disallow ourselves of any idea the moment we are presented with a plausable reason to question those ideas. You are grossly misinformed about science.
If the concern is nuclear, the prevailing wind is towards eastern Washington and that is where the fallout will go.
Zionists are nationalists. The last time there was a nationalist socialist movement, it was pretty bad.
Why? I've been listening to doomers for 25 years telling me that everything is going to collapse "real soon now." I've never seen anything to suggest that there will be anything other than a slow gradual decline and if that's the case then there's zero reason not to pursue a degree. There's always YouTube for learning skills like repair and such. What sense is there in not getting an education?
Giving up now guarantees that life will be shittier in 10 years, but continuing on with your education gives you a chance at not having a shitter life in 10 years. And the likelihood that we have any sort of a fast collapse event in the next 10 years is pretty damn small. In all seriousness, there probably won't be a day collapse ever. Things will just gradually get crappier over the next 100 years until we are back living like it's the 17th century.
Without the capitalist, the worker would likely not have a job or be much less productive than they are.
Do you have any evidence for this or is this just another one of your baseless assertions?
What made our modern economy so productive was the division of labor.
You can have division of labor under socialism. That isn't a feature exclusive to capitalism and therefore is not a argument for capitalism.
An engineer might be highly capable in their chosen field but a terrible manager and/or business strategist.
And they might be great. In fact, I would say that the best managers I've ever had were previously the best individual contributors before their promotions.
But again, this is not an argument for capitalism. This is a strawman.
If capitalists are greedy they would pay CEOs minimum wages because if everyone can be a CEO you could put a random person in charge and pay them a low salary.
Absolutely not. The capitalists pay CEO's high salaries because the alternative is vastly less profitable. Plus, the CEO's are part of the capitalist class and therefore have a vested interest in maintaining the class structure that is most profitable to them.
That's why we have never seen a successful worker run economy and that's why economies that attempted to eliminate the capitalist did poorly over the long run.
Of course that is only the case if you ignore all the successful ones that were sabotaged by capitalists. But you are so good at cherry picking your data, why stop now!
it will be a free, democratic, technologically advanced society with transparency supported by laws and regulation.
Capitalism is not free, democratic, nor transparent. You just concluded your argument with the best argument against capitalism. Good job.
Is this a spring
If water is coming out of the ground, then it is a spring. Check uphill from it to see if you can find water going into the ground that might just be resurfacing there. If that is the case, then it isn't a spring.
can I replace the terracotta looking pot with a plastic rain water barrel,
Maybe. Watch some videos on how spring boxes work to see if that is what you have and then you can probably better understand if you can swap it out. Or post some pictures of it so we can better understand what you have.
can I do concrete
Probably.
how can I see if using this or working on it is worthwhile?
Hard to know without more details.
Why do all nationalist regimes end up committing atrocities?
Have a question for a person on the Nationalist Right? Why not ask one!
