Robert Reich correctly identifies what is wrong with the system, but his so-called 'solutions' cannot deliver. Starting government run businesses is like starting businesses destined to lose money and fail, and robbing the hard and smart working just stops people from putting in hard and smart work, and opt for corrupt collusion with politicians, instead...Originally posted by Bob Gillanders View PostComment

Trump made a lot of promises during the election campaign.
I would like to focus on economic issues.
Promises made to his working class MAGA base included: bringing back manufacturing jobs, fighting inflation, a better health care system, and lower interest rates on credit cards.
Promises made to his new billionaire friends included: extending and further tax cuts, more drilling “drill baby drill”, abolishing the EPA, major cuts to regulations and federal spending.
Recent events have brought to centre stage problems with private health insurance. Profits are prioritized over health care resulting in preventable death, suffering, and economic ruin for those without the means to fight the system.
In my opinion the best solution is to adopt a universal single payer affordable government run health care system like we have in Canada and many other rich countries.
Trump has crushed the Republican party, defeated the Democrats, won the House and Senate, a majority on the Supreme Court, a loyal MAGA base, and immunity from prosecution for official acts. In just over a month Trump will basically be a King.
I have one question. Will King Donald prioritize his promises to the MAGA base or to his new billionaire friends?

In 2020, a close relative was diagnosed with late-stage multiple myeloma. His prognosis was grim—months to live. Faced with the choice between grueling chemotherapy or dying in peace, he chose the latter. But I refused to accept this. Drawing on my background in Molecular Biology and decades of scientific research, I turned to repurposed drugs and metabolic approaches that mainstream medicine had ignored.
We combined Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, sugar restriction, and Allulose (a rare sugar substitute cancer cells can’t metabolize). In just seven months, he achieved complete remission. His oncologist was stunned, but the results were undeniable.
I presented this success story, backed by research and reproducible evidence, to a forum of doctors and scientists. Many of them, seeing the potential to save lives, adopted these protocols. Since then, thousands of late-stage cancer patients—individuals given no hope, with prognoses of weeks or months—have achieved full remission. These results are no fluke. They are consistent, reproducible, and lifesaving.

Here’s the sad truth: millions will die if the status quo in cancer therapies continues. The contaminated COVID-19 vaccines, containing the SV40 promoter that integrates into the human genome, have triggered an explosion of turbo cancers—fast-growing, aggressive malignancies in people who were previously healthy. Children are being diagnosed with cancers that doctors with decades of experience have never seen at such rates. This is a global catastrophe, and it will only worsen unless we act.
We must reject the expensive, ineffective therapies dictated by a system that cares more about shareholder profits than human lives. The solutions exist: therapies that are affordable, accessible, and exponentially more effective with ZERO side effects. Repurposed drugs like Ivermectin and Fenbendazole, when combined with metabolic approaches like sugar restriction, have the power to save millions. The evidence is overwhelming, but it has been ruthlessly suppressed by the medical-political complex.
Healthcare cannot be fixed by simply shifting who pays the bills. It will only be fixed when we confront the corruption that has allowed millions to die needlessly while affordable cures are buried. It is not too late, but the clock is ticking. Lives depend on this. Millions of them.

Sid has raised some important issues regarding Big Pharma. One needs to realize that most vital research leading to useful drugs occurs in Universities, Big Pharma then pays a pittance to 'buy' this research and then patents it, making incredible profits out of these patents. Patents also lead to dishonest marketing. This makes no ethical or business sense at all. The society (government using tax dollars) needs to reward those who do all the valuable research and ban patents on them. Only then will the drug prices become reasonable.
The interaction between the doctor and the patient is pivotal to the health of the patient, and has to be guided by the doctor's knowledge, wisdom, empathy and respect for the patient; this can happen better in a 'private' set-up than in a 'public' system, because in the latter, factors other than the highlighted four often ruin the sacred doctor-patient relationship... Sid has referred to some aspects of this ruining in some of his posts on chesstalk.Last edited by Dilip Panjwani; Tuesday, 17th December, 2024, 11:22 PM.Comment

Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
15. Have fun!
(Thanks to Nigel Hanrahan for writing these up!)
