A comment on Sick and struggling to pay, 100M people in the U.S. live with medical debt. Parent comment
When you speak with disdain and sarcasm, no one will listen to what you have to say even when you are right about everything.
If you want to change minds, show respect first, clarify the opponent's best argument, and then take it apart calmly piece by piece.
If, instead, you want to spread anger and frustration from yourself to those around you, by all means continue with the snide comments.
