What do you think happened? Do you think that the employee said okay, hearing what your problem is, here's the address you want to go to? Nope. Couldn't do that. Do you know why? Because I didn't have the healthcare number for the person. So couldn't tell me which facility to go to because one requires an appointment and one doesn't. And so can't make an appointment without a membership number. And couldn't even tell me where to go to work it out in person.

I had to tell them where the facility was that was closest to me because they couldn't figure it out. Because the first thing they told me was the wrong city. And I said I kind of vaguely remember that the city right next to me has one of these. Oh let me check that. Oh well you're right, they do have one right next to you.

This isn't an emergency. In an emergency the customer had to figure out based on my vast medical experience what does minor care, urgent care or emergency room mean and which is the right one, what requires what waiting time. And let me tell you that if you've got a minor injury that you're not a medical expert, you think well it looks minor to me but what if it only looks minor to me and I go to the wrong place? I couldn't get any help.

I ended up basically guessing and I think by the time we got actual help I think it was eight hours later. So this is somebody bleeding and got help eight hours later. I pay for that healthcare. Now I don't think that things were this bad a year ago or two years ago. I feel like everything broke.

Can you show me in the comments are you having the same experience? Because that was just one anecdote. You don't need to care about my little problem. But I feel like nothing's working. All the things are too hard. All the things. I don't know if it's a bunch of different reasons or there's some larger effect going on here. But yeah, I just woke up in not even the same country anymore.

I mean the headlines I'm looking at are that my electricity is no longer reliable in California and that there's a very high likelihood that I'll have neither water nor electricity sometime this summer. Think about that. I could have no water and no electricity this summer. And I don't think anybody's doing anything about it. Seriously, I don't think anybody's doing anything about it that I know of. So that's weird.

Let's talk about Republicans getting hunted. How many situations have we seen where that's happening? So we've seen the Russia collusion hoax could have put people in jail, actually did because of some unrelated reasons. So that's a Democrat hoax that would have put Republicans in jail for a hoax.

January 6th thing — now that the FBI has indirectly confirmed it. Now that's my subjective opinion that in listening to their answer the right way to process it is as a confirmation that they were behind it in a substantial way. We don't know how substantial but it's there. And that looks like, well that's already put people in jail. Now they're in jail for doing things they shouldn't have done in most cases. But it still was — it looks like the larger context is it's being treated in a hoax way basically because they're treating the small number of bad people as representative of the whole event.

Then there's this border patrol whipping thing and then these border patrol people will probably be punished in some way. And then there's also a story about there's some terrorist group that's attacking the pro-life centers. So that's again Republicans being hunted.

Now as has been pointed out in the past this went the other way, that it was the abortion provider centers that were being targeted. But I think that hasn't happened lately. So in terms of a trend it looks like Republicans are being hunted.

I have a fascinating update on gun safety and murder. Want me to blow your mind? Panda Tribune, a Twitter account you should be following, made a claim yesterday that I questioned on Twitter. And the claim was that from 1993 to 2013 the CDC found that gun murders per capita declined by 40% yet gun ownership per capita increased by 56%. And I said that doesn't sound right.

So Panda Tribune provided a long thread with full sources and sure enough Pew Research I think was the one that during that time gun murders dropped a lot, 40%, but gun ownership zoomed up 56%. So would that suggest to you that either guns are unrelated to murder rates or does it suggest to you that owning more guns reduced the number of people getting murdered? What would you say the correct answer is?

You can't tell anything from this. That's the correct answer. The correct answer is that there was something that had nothing to do
