There is a see-saw. The more insurance covers, the more it costs. So there will either be a healthcare cost "problem" (when insurance covers not enough, we are here) or a health insurance cost "problem" (this is what it was like prior to the ACA, everything was covered but many couldn't afford it).

Getting everyone on insurance got rid of the people that would go to the hospital without it an eventual die in it. The hospitals would have to eat the costs and pass that on to everyone else. ACA use to have a lot of stuff that all health insurance HAD TO cover, but the GOP has been slowly eating away at that list.

Murder has been broadly condemned. In fact, one guy condemned the murder of health insurance customers so much that he murdered a CEO. In general, we want LESS murder.

I remember huge student protests for weeks on end. Then, over spring break when all the students were off elsewhere - the bombs began to drop.

Gen Z men think being rude and unrespectful will get the girlfriends. They are in the not fucking around phase of not fucking around and not finding out.

He made it harder to enroll for those people. Less people on the Obamacare, more for the right people

I once was driving through a radio dead spot in AZ and the only broadcast I could find was some hyper-religious preacher complaining about things. I still remember the line "Today's youth think that if something is consensual it can't be bad."

I remember thinking, yep, that about sums it up.

Here is my prediction:

There is already ways of taking a 2D picture and, using depth mapping, turn it into a stereoscopic image. My current computer can do about 1 of these pictures per second. Get that up to 60 per second with some algorithm tweaks and better GPUs and any 2D game could automatically be turned into a VR game. The limiting factor would be the GUI. 5 years isn't long enough to train people out of mouse and keyboard - so figuring out how to allow for that in VR space would be the hurtle.

As for the corporate side of things: look for Nintendo getting into the AR business if you really want VR/AR to go mainstream.

Don't Start With President! Running for president as a party that doesn't have any senators or governors is a massive waste of money on an ego trip that normally hurts the side that people voting for them support.

Start with safe democratic states, like New York and California. Run for safe democratic mayor-ships and house seats. Once you get a couple of wins, momentum, and a bench of candidates: then try for governor or senator. Once you get more than 3 of them THEN you choose the most popular among the group and run them for president.
