Then he is dumber than he looks if he hasn't made any money the way he :cape: for industry.


Oh, and something, something Burisma.

Biden is literally milquetoast but this is an item he deserves credit for. Now I think he should have just put his money in an agnostic market fund but kudos to him for sticking to his word.

the most popular senator in the best tax saving haven state (Delaware) for corporations just called for this. fukking huge. He has the relationships both nationally and locally to get it done

But I thought Biden wasn't a senator anymore and wasn't supposed to be injecting himself into the national debate? :sas2:

Yes, of course I post more negatively about Biden than I do about Bernie, I think Biden is much worse than Bernie. :what:

If you mean that I post about Biden more than Bernie, that's an outright lie, my posts are 10-to-1 more about Bernie. :gucci:

And your pizza saying don't even make sense, you must be clueless on Bernie's bio and record. :camby:

what’s Bernies senators record? What has he done for anyone? What has he done for black ppl?

actually done, not what he says he wants to do. Even elected tea party members accomplished something. Bernie has nothing to show for any of his 29 years in congress except voting against republican bills when dems were in the minority. Who cares bernie?

If you're gonna be that fukking ignorant about it after twelve months of debating the same shyt then you're a waste of time. We've answered those questions repeatedly and at this point you just look like a troll.

Why don't you got back to shyt-posting about Italy's health care system where you got humiliated and ran away yesterday?

It’s Not shyt posting if most ppl disagree with it. Most voters want a private option in America along with a public one.


I didn’t reply to any threads yesterday after someone wished my aunt died bc she caught coronavirus. I’m trying to live a spiritual healthy life. I avoided thecoli and most responses. I forgot about the thread.

We also have death rate lower than Italy due to private hospitals btw. Rights that black politicians have lobbied for generations so “public systems” like Medicare and Medicaid has to cover diseases for us and made sure even tho we had less healthy medical scores we weren’t penalized for getting extra care. Something a lot of y’all are willing to sign away blindly without even understanding how much work it took to make sure we got shyt covered. Bernies plan doesn’t cover everything like y’all thought it would. If it isn’t “medically necessary” it’s not covered. Sickle cell treatment isn’t “medically necessary” bc most ppl don’t have it and that’s just the start. None of y’all actually took the time to read his bill and it was blatantly obvious. He leveraged republican racist language we already beat in court decades ago. Look it up

It's shyt posting because you understand nothing of the situation in Italy or the USA. Italy has damn near DOUBLE the doctors per capita that the USA does. Italy has MORE respirators per capita than America does. The average Italian citizen lives five years LONGER than the average American citizen does. Italy has a higher death rate in this pandemic because they're older, they got hit first, they are more densely populated, and because we haven't even seen what's going to happen in the USA yet because most of our cases have come in the last three days.

You weren't able to name a single negative thing about Italy's system in regards to this crisis, because every shortcoming they've had is something that's WORSE in the American system.

You stay shyt posting.

Well you’re coming from a very white centric POV with that one. You’ve also avoided the question on what Bernie has ever accomplished in congress besides saying he voted against republicans.

Italy’s system as a whole is based off of merit. Merit is based off of income first, race second. Italy’s life expectancy isn’t bc their “hospital system” is better for habits outside of hospital treatments mainly eating habits. Secondly your doctor designation is completely and utterly false. Being a doctor in Italy is different than being a doctor in america, Italy takes 6 years and in America it takes 11 to 14. There are two designations of hospital employees that many if not most patients see in America that take the same amount of schooling that doctors have in Italy; physician assistants and nurse practitioners. There’s a fundamental difference in our healthcare systems and we have higher requirements to become a doctor. The us has 12 million respirators in storage held by the National government (that they’ll release)

you see how stats can be skewed to prove a message


the biggest issue that you’re blindly following is the law that black diseases will not be covered as much as white ones bc we have less ppl.

there’s no grey

We're talking about artificial respirators to help people breathe, not N95 respirator masks. :mjlol:

Talk about skewing stats. :russ:

And the USA is already mad rationing N95 masks too, I already told y'all my sister says they've had to ration those since 2 weeks ago. 12 million masks will barely make a dent in that, you know how many masks they go through every day?

My sister is a PA and that's how I know that PA's are a tiny % of the American health care system. There are only about 1/8 as many PA's as there are doctors, it doesn't come close to closing the gap with Italy on doctor numbers. And Italy has nurse practitioners just like the USA does.

And you're apparently lying about how long doctors in Italy have to train - it's virtually the same as in the USA:

"On average, to become a doctor in Italy, it therefore takes between nine to twelve years of higher education and post-graduate training (Figure 1)."

https://www.oecd.org/italy/OECD-Health-Workforce-Policies-2016-Doctors-Italy.pdf

In Italy they do 6 years of schooling first instead of 7 like here, but here you can easily make it just 6 at plenty of schools. Not to mention that something like 1/4 of our doctors did their schooling overseas anyway.



Italy’s system as a whole is based off of merit. Merit is based off of income first, race second. Italy’s life expectancy isn’t bc their “hospital system” is better for habits outside of hospital treatments mainly eating habits.
Bullshyt. First off, you have zero evidence that race is a determinative factor in Italy's system, especially since the primary criteria is age and the Black population skews FAR younger than the White population in Italy it is very unlikely there were any Black folk getting cut off at all.



the biggest issue that you’re blindly following is the law that black diseases will not be covered as much as white ones bc we have less ppl.

there’s no grey

Your dumb ass doesn't understand that in the USA Black health care is ALREADY much worse than White health care AND much worse than Italian health care. :stopitslime:



Well you’re coming from a very white centric POV with that one. You’ve also avoided the question on what Bernie has ever accomplished in congress besides saying he voted against republicans.
We've told you for 12 months, there were multiple threads on it, literally no one here hasn't heard it already. No one was even talking about Bernie in this thread, you stay shyt-posting just to shyt-post.

One year is nothing and Joe knows that. It would be easy for a company to just sit tight for a year and get back to business as usual after that. Biden wants to sound tough but he doesn’t really want to implement any meaningful restrictions.

You’re talking about ventilators :mjlol:

Medical ventilators are sometimes colloquially called "respirators", a term stemming from commonly used devices in the 1950s (particularly the "Bird respirator"). However, in the present-day medical field, the word "respirator" refers to a protective face mask and ventilators are never referred to as respirators.

Most nps in Italy are American expats they don’t have any schools that give out that degree :mjlol:

u totally glossed over pa’s:mjlol:



Race is gigantic determining factor of Italy’s population growing worse. Africans make up 1.5% of the population and slew younger which means they statistically receive less Health resources from birth until middle age negatively affecting their life expectancy.


you’re right African Americans get worse healthcare that’s why ppl like u who champion for an equal distribution of healthcare resources is bullshyt. We already have less in our areas and will always have less if everyone gets the same. Mothefukkers didn’t work for decades for us to JUST start getting more in order to catch up so special negros like u can throw it away bc u think everyone should get the same now :hhh:

fukk out of here. Y’all didn’t even read past the 2nd paragraph of Bernies plan. That we are all one bullshyt ain’t happening until our ppl catch up. That’s why no legit black politician fukks with Bernie. :stopitslime:he’s all about everybody should start getting the same without a reconciliation process to get ppl starting with less up to the baseline of the rest of America to do that. That’s why it’s complete and utter bullshyt, there’s a reason Bernie will never say I’ll dedicate 100’s of billions to black neighborhoods to get them up to par before everyone gets the same amount of resources.

his real base would be in an uproar. :wow: His Fox News interviews and his refusal and disdain for campaigning in majority black states (besides dc) in favor of majority white ones tells u all u need to know.

he doesn’t fukk with us like that at all.

Dumbass couldn't tell what I was OBVIOUSLY talking about so after getting clowned he runs to google to try to save.

People refer to them as respirators all the time in the USA and in many parts of the world and in much reporting it is still the common term:

Italian doctors on coronavirus frontline face tough calls on whom to save

"With demand outpacing supply of beds and respirators, medical workers are told to prioritize younger patients."


Italy hit by 368 new coronavirus deaths, hospitals in crisis

“We need those machines (doctors) use to ventilate lungs, artificial respirators that unfortunately we cannot find,” Fontana said.


Italy hit with one-day record 368 new coronavirus deaths

" Italy on Sunday reported a one-day record death toll and leaders warned of a bed and artificial respirator shortage in the European epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic."




A 3D-printer company in Italy has designed and printed 100 life-saving respirator valves in 24 hours for a hospital that had run out of them.


'A worldwide hackathon': Hospitals turn to crowdsourcing and 3D printing amid equipment shortages

Earlier this month, the CEO of an Italian 3D-printing startup learned that a hospital near the center of the coronavirus outbreak in Italy was running short on a small but crucial component: the valves that connect respirators to oxygen masks.


Dumbest part was you still haven't said ANYTHING about the fact that Italy having higher per-capita supply of respirators/ventilators than the USA. You continue to ignore every fact of the conversation, first out of confusion and now out of deflection.



u totally glossed over pa’s:mjlol:
No I didn't, like I told you there are only 1/8 as many P.A.'s as doctors in the USA so they don't come CLOSE to closing the DOUBLE gap between doctors in the USA and doctors in Italy.

And notice you ignoring that you completely lost your bullshyt claim about doctors in Italy only getting 6 years of education/training.


Race is gigantic determining factor of Italy’s population growing worse. Africans make up 1.5% of the population and slew younger which means they statistically receive less Health resources from birth until middle age negatively affecting their life expectancy.
You don't think that already happens in America?

And what does that have anything to do with coronavirus when they're cutting off the OLDEST patients which means those will skew WHITE?


You made a completely bullshyt claim that Italy's struggles against coronavirus were due to its public health care system. You haven't EVER been able to back up that claim. And when you've been shown that the biggest issues are lack of hospital beds, respirators, and doctors and Italy has far MORE of all those things than the USA, you keep deflecting like crazy.

That's why you got owned so badly in the other thread, and now you get to be embarrassed in two threads.
