Gig economy workers and Amazon staff are increasingly dependent on food stamps and Medicaid, says federal report

While I agree with your statement of "the government has a conflict of interest", keeping that banner up makes you look uneducated.

"The root issue is the government turning a blind eye to the predatory business practices and economic unsustainability for their communities."
because of conflict of interest banners aside. Imagine believing the government can fix all your problems seems very educated to some I guess.

This whole article feels like it's trying to tell me how to feel about something, rather than giving well researched facts and letting the reader decide how they feel about it.

That’s because Rob is a yellow journalist. He is completely and repeatedly guilty of intentionally ignoring basic research because it doesn’t fit his narrative. Either way, IMHO, this dude has no business writing for any publication that want to appear credible.

In defense of Rob, he's no worse than the average journalist of today, which increasing and proudly proclaims their duty is not to educate readers or provide an unbiased narrative, but to promote a particular viewpoint.

In fact, I'd hazard a guess that the incessant stream of anti-AI and generally anti-tech stories from Rob is less ideologically driven than those being emitted by WaPo, the NYT, or the BBC, but based more on a simple desire to sell clicks, regardless of veracity.

US was the only country in the world cup without some sort of universal healthcare.

That is LAUGHABLY false. Or would you care to tell us all about Uganda's universal healthcare?

Funny enough the government can fix all the issues when it comes to providing fair sustainability options, because they are the ones governing. You would be wrong to think they can't!...they just don't want to because it affects their political agendas.

I said both camps have a conflict of interest kid you still have your banner up though funny how that works for the self proclaimed educated!

So I looked it up because I kept hearing it from the announcers. Apparently, the US is the only DEVELOPED NATION in the world cup without universal Healthcare. Sorry for the mix up. Just a note, if we have to lower the bar to countries like Uganda to find parallels with the US we also have a significant problem

Glad you admitted you were wrong. However, you forgot to mention the US is the first and only "developed nation" the rest call for help whenever they face a military threat. It also has -- thanks to its rejection of socialized medicine and ofther forms of socialism -- by far the strongest economy in the world:

".... Between 2008 and 2023, U.S. GDP expanded by 87%, compared to just a 13.5% increase for the EU...."

Fun Fact: Germany's National Socialists -- the Nazis -- overthrew the conservative Weimer and rose to power by promising ordinary Germans to vastly expand socialized welfare and healthcare systems....

Sorry, I just don’t see that as a remotely reasonable defense against calling it out. “Because others do it too” is the worst kind of excuse, IMHO. Poor is poor. Call it out. Demand better professionalism. Change starts with shining a light and not swallowing the manure you’re being spoon-fed. I don’t care what the “reason” is.

Socialism for the wealthy--we subsidize their workers with our tax money so that they can pay below a living wage.

I stopped reading at "Bernie Sanders said". That socialist/marxist who SPENT HIS HONEYMOON in the Soviet Union in 1988! Not to mention Bernie use to complain about "millionaires & billionaires" until
HE himself became a millionaire! Now he just complains about billionaires.

It's because the USA foots the bill for every other countries health care

If that's the case then Trump should take his own America First policy seriously and use that money to pay for our healthcare

He wants to give money to the citizen for healthcare and not the insurance companies which have records profits because of obslama care. So he is trying to do what you suggest but is prevented by every dem

This is how American health care will ultimately become single payer: as more corporations shed their health care obligations the few people still employed will be on medicaid, as will a few of the rest of the unemployed masses. Everyone else will be subject to an AI powered credit check before treatment is rendered.
