I've yet to hear a convincing argument for why I should be forced to subsidize the American proletariat.

I don't have much experience with specialists, but my experience with GPs has been awful, for every good one you meet, you have to deal with 5 other terrible ones. I will never give up my GP until he retires or an AI replaces him because he is probably the first doctor since my childhood with an actual air of competency around him.

I feel bad for the rest of the people who visit my clinic and have to deal with any of the other garbage practitioners who usually fall into one of two buckets. Foreign (mainly Indian) hacks with zero medical knowledge and bedside manners, and greedy yuppie strivers with a knack for memorization but terrible analytical ability.

Most doctors don't deserve their inflated salaries or social status, and I hope they are soon brought back down to Earth by technology, they have been able to skid by for way too long.

Best output? Perhaps you mean most? And perhaps you mean GDP and not output?

You would borrow from the bank, using your stock holdings as collateral. Not as easy as he makes it sound, but not unheard of if you have even a meager amount. Say, at least 50k.

I can't wait for this bubble to pop so people like you get the reality check they deserve. (Hint: you're not special)

Propaganda. Assad and Russia are closer than ever to crushing the rebels ending this 5 year war. The sob stories (over 100 children!) have been at hysterical levels for the past week, but I can only hope most Americans will not fall for it. What happens in Syria is not our business.

I also came to a similar conclusion this morning, I think he realizes that a Trump presidency is a huge opening for power since Trump will be largely reliant on his advisors to make any kind of decision when it comes to the implementation details of his proposals.

What he might want to use this power for, is less clear, he is not quite the classic Libertarian people here seem to think he is. He strikes me as more of the Hoppe variety, or even a post-Libertarian ala Moldbug.
