    "Inner city ghetto hospital."

    But you said you live in a conservative city .

    Why an "inner city ghetto hospital?"

    Yup...as I said, the American conservative mantra: I've got mine, screw you.

    My post? In what way?

    How is supporting a requirement to at least be looking for work if you're able bodied and of working age and want food stamps even remotely comparable to a deliberate reallocation at the end of a gun of the food supply of mostly ethnic Ukranians to city dwelling comrades?

    My position is very moderate.

    Your logic is off. Why should someone who works for a living, pays his taxes, cares for his own family have to have a pity party for those that refuse to work? Why should this person be responsible for caring for anyone else's family but his own, especially the able bodied.

    You were the one who said conservatism is a disease and needs a cure aren't you? That sounded a little threatening to me--Stalin like

    That's hilarious. But you are correct - the comedy is great. Hopefully you understand the manipulations you are doing.

    How is that known? The US is such a JOKE, police can't even ask if people are in the country legally!

    Problem with conservatism is that people don't really take any critics, it's most likely cemented position and all skepticism is aligned with basic beliefs (and targets enemies, never nothing inside own system). So there is no surprise why people are divided to friends and enemies. It's like backwards priority in world of changes. Conservatives like to stay still and keep doing same stuff without even chance to evolve themselves. If some improvements still happen, it's most likely going slow. Riding bike while hitting breaks all the time.

    Don't be afraid.

    I never live in fantasyland.

    I was not manipulating. A comment was made about poverty in "conservative cities" versus liberal cities...and I produced the stats.

    You don't like the stats...so rather than arguing against them and producing stats that show them to be wrong...

    ...you simply proclaim then to be manipulation.

    As I indicated...I owe you big time for the laughs.

    Get someone with a bit more intellect to explain my comment to you...and explain its significance.

    You may actually learn something.

    (HINT: There was a bit of sarcasm in there.)

    I hope you are better at treating them than you are at grammatical coherence.

    Sure it is.

    The ghetto hospital uses it for booking surgery. The OR "overbooks" patients because of the high no-show rates. When you're getting surgery for free, it's worthless, so why bother showing up?

    Simple number crunching by race of patients reveals that black patients no-show at a rate 1/3rd again higher than white patients(Hispanics too), so the scheduling algorithms adjust to overbook black patients at a higher rate, and that helps fill in the gaps that would otherwise be left in the OR schedule.

    It's incredibly expensive and inefficient to have an entire OR suite, and all the staff, just sitting around waiting for a patient that never arrived because they didn't have bus fare, or getting their nails did was a higher priority. It happens all the time, and so steps are taken to mitigate the inefficiencies.

    You'd probably called such a system "racist", but now we get into the whole racist Vs. reality thing again.

    The ghetto hospital can either face reality, make adjustments, and make money, or it can get woke and go broke.

    Tough choice.

    I are.

    Oh, and I don't treat humans, because they're the worst people on the planet.

    I'm an engineer. I fix the very expensive machine that goes PING!

    I have a respectable IQ little boy, and I've read hundreds and hundreds of book. I have a degree in Health Science. I was a card carrying member of the communist party. I grew up though. I don't hold out any hope that you will one day grow up.
    Did it occur to you that you failed at your attempted sarcasm, or that it was just stupid?

    Repetition doesn't make it true. You've been told what to think, you obviously missed the how to think part.

    Ask someone with a bit more intellect than you about my post.

    Most people past grammar schools should be able to help...almost everyone past high school should.

    I'm not a "little boy"...I am 82. And I will not "one day grow up"...I already am grown up.
