That's fair!
Also, apologies for being an exasperated ass. I haven't had dinner and miss you ✌️

I saw you excited that a right wing rich guy was talking with a right wing politician, and that gave you pause about how the Left hates billionaires.
Maybe if we'd just work with the right? Or listen to billionaires...? Or hate the Left more? This is the road I see with no good end.

I didn't think you agreed with Rand Paul (I didn't even know Rand Paul had a position).

The premise that Mark Cuban has solutions we can't find elsewhere seems like quite a leap.

Who are these Left ghosts you're waving your torch at? Stop fighting your own side, that's my point. I don't need to read the exchange to read how you're framing it, and I'm responding to your framing.

No one disagrees with this, but placing it in a Left-scold envelope is a weird political tactic.
We can happily ignore Mark Cuban and reform healthcare, this isn't a choose 1. You never have to hand it to anyone.

Seems like a road that leads nowhere good.

I'm just reacting broadly to your continued war on the left. Now you're defending a billionaire and excited about Rand Paul and right wing healthcare, like what are you hoping to accomplish down this road?

Elon builds rockets, right? It's the same poison pill. He does good! He's hyper competent! And he's so rich so he's gotta be right, or at least can help us do what we want! Let's listen to him and platform him and and...

Mark's my favorite good billionaire, let's hear from him! 🙃
We have such a good history with them helping us, and certainly not projecting misplaced competence onto them.
I really don't see how this approach isn't anything but wise. He's not gonna be a healthcare savior or scholar.

You're a step away from forcing me to read Elonposting. I don't need a hear anything from a billionaire that I can't hear from a better source (e.g. you!)
Sharing him specifically is just appealing to authority or billionaire apologia.
Give me experts, not armchair money-havers.

Mark Cuban is making an obvious point about healthcare? I still haven't heard a good idea from this guy. We already know what we need to do to fix healthcare, unfortunately we need political reform before healthcare reform. And certainly neither are coming from the right.

I'd prefer you describe the good, salient points in your own words. I don't need it from Mark fucking Cuban. And can I even read twitter without a sub? lol forgot I had it muted on here, can't even see my own posts about it
