That's not how it worked. Why don't you ever read the links provided to you? My fire company would just put out my neighbours fire and invoice them. That's how it worked with the uninsured.

How does a private service get to provide their service without the consent of the person receiving the services?  Sounds like a really dumb version of socialism.

Learn how fire insurance worked.

Fire insurance with a public service is different than with a private service.

Ok, think back to grade school and please tell me the three different branches of government.  (Answer below)

Legislative, executive and JUDICIAL

Basically, people born into wealthy families tend to earn more than people who weren't:
Something liberals will never tell you. Consider one set of parents. Mother is a lawyer and the father a doctor. What are the odds they will have smart kids?
Now consider the offspring of 2 chavs on benefits. How smart will their kids be? An uncomfortable truth is that intelligence is a genetic trait.

Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ
Twin studies of adult individuals have found a heritability of IQ between 57% and 73%[6] with the most recent studies showing heritability for IQ as high as 80%[7] IQ goes from being weakly correlated with genetics, for children, to being strongly correlated with genetics for late teens and adults.

Of course children of wealthy families tend to earn more ... they tend to be smarter!

Literally the first paragraph of the article I pointed you at:

Quote
Rich children of average intelligence are more likely to succeed in life than brilliant people born into poor families, according to a new genetic study that focuses on the intersection of genes and economics.

Later down the same article:

Quote
Researchers found that intellectual gifts are fairly evenly distributed among the rich and poor, however eventual success is heavily weighted in favour of the rich

Hardly from the liberal lefty media, it's from the Daily fucking Mail!

I don't read the Daily Mail. I don't believe the crap they put in there. Do you have a scientific source like the one I linked you? One with studies?


I was also given some good advice a few years ago by a businessman. He told me ... you will likely be the average of your friends. If all your friends are drop outs and junkies, you'll be one too. If your friends are all top bankers and business leaders, guess what you will be doing for a living.

So it is of no surprise to me that an average IQ rich kid does better than a brilliant poor kid ... they will network better. But also they are much more likely to be smarter on average. The brilliant poor child is as rare as hen's teeth.

Why not? All they do is lift stories from news agency websites, and repackage news from other sites, so if anything is wrong, you're blaming the messenger, not the writer.

Right. So that's another advantage of being rich - your will tend to mix with other rich people and that confers another advantage.
But also rich parents being able to afford tutors or private education can help average kids to perform better.

And all the Daily Mail are doing is quoting a study. You can find it yourself, if you're too lazy then that's not my problem.

Thork values links to a blog that links to a study more than a newspaper that links to a study. Wow.

Yeah sorry, I don’t want anyone to live in a world where medical bankruptcy is possible.

And I don't want to live in world where you never exercise, smoke 20 cigarettes a day, drink 6 litres of coke and have take away meals three times a day until you eat yourself up to the weight of a small family hatchback, and then have you pass me a share of your medical bills. BUY INSURANCE, YOU FAT BASTARD!  >o<

In America you can walk into any given Walmart and see a bunch of fat poor people in sweatpants loading their carts with garbage. If they weren’t such idiots I’d have more sympathy for them. The culture here makes it impossible to sustain a nationwide universal healthcare system.

I went into a Walmart many years ago whilst on holiday because I wanted to see what real Americans looked like. You wouldn't believe how big they are in real life.  😱

Obesity and general cultural degeneracy have become normal here to the point that you don’t notice it on a day-to-day basis. It was only when I started watching videos of Japanese and Chinese city life that it hit me how disgusting American society has become. People here really are rude, fat, and narcissistic to a higher degree than most other developed countries. But that’s probably just the skinny privilege talking.

It was a Florida Walmart. And yes, they are fat as fuck in Florida. And Rama thinks sharing medical bills with these land whales is a good idea. No, harpooning them and using their blubber for lamp oil is a good idea. 🤬

You don’t give a fuck about anyone unless they feed your ego. Say something relevant.

But you would anyway.  You do know how insurance works, right?
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Yes ... premiums are based on risk. Not on how much I earn.

He's going to be paying a lot regardless of whether he is a part time cleaner or a celebrity lawyer. I'm not.


I'm guessing you don't know how insurance works because you have a long and tedious history of not knowing very much about anything. See, we can both be rude. Doesn't really further the conversation though, does it?

No, I meant your premiums go to pay his medical bills.  You said you didn't want that but regardless, you will.  Unless you have different insurance companies, of course.

No, but you can google why yourself. I just stated why and it went right over your head.

Doctors would help, I'm sure, but the real issue is food standards and lack of public awareness. All the unhealthy crap is bigger and cheaper in America, and the healthy options are pictured as weird stuff for hipsters.

Just another case of "It's expensive to be poor"
