> but I find it hard to believe an actual progressive telling you that

Only on HackerNews would someone try to tell me I was never called a sexist for not liking HRC on her merits. You're only supposed to gaslite women, dude, not other guys. LOL. /s

The only thing wrong with your narrative is that private insurance has been dominant for the past 60 years. And THAT is driving up costs. (See: Luigi). In fact, it would be easy to demonstrate that government investment in research has done vastly more than the private sector w.r.t. vaccines and immunization and regulations. Oh no, I said the scary "r-word", I hope you didn't run and hide in your libertarian safe space.

Oooo I can play that game too:

99% of people agree with liberal policies: ask anyone if they'd like to pay less for better healthcare coverage.

But there as many libertarians that matter as there are antifa that matter.

They are noise in the data.

Populism is a marketing tool (to quote Hank Green) and Sanders wielded it as well as trump, but to help people, not punish them. Both have decades of track records demonstrating this fact.

I think Sanders would have unified because my MAGA parents liked his working-class support. But if I mention that among my progressive friends I get glares and stern warnings that Hillary was "the best" candidate and any objection is sexist. It's kinda like being a conservative who doesn't believe in god or is gay, your party will shun you.

I miss not fearing about being doxxed or flagged by the current administration and being targeted by their mob of thugs. And I live in the US.

If JLCPCB doesn't charge, you will get a bill from CBP, customs and border patrol. I've purchased capex equipment (items over $25k) from China for my small company and that's how we've paid tariffs in the past.

(Contrary to the current US administration's lies, the buyer pays the tariff, not the seller.)
