American Whore

i like in the second verse when she says "i want you to come" and then in the background she says "need you to come"

This is hard. On one hand, UV deserves it because it's such an iconic album, but we got some of those left overs on Blue Banisters and Chemtrails, so in some way we kind of have small extensions of that album. On the other hand, HM didn't really have much that's interesting unless that Mark Ronson TLY version was included (I think that's what he produced right? i can't remember right now it's late) and then there's LFL which we literally have no clue about a majority of the tracks left over for that and there was meant to be a part 2 to it and we'd finally get Roses Bloom For You, i'd assume. then if you look at NFR, there's gotta be some things left over from that. chemtrails was basically NFR outtakes and 2.0 in some sort of way, but she left off some things like Loved You Then & Now/RCS fuck......... idk i'd want every album done like this, sorry, i dont make the rules.

im scared it wouldn't actually be as good as it sounds like it would be. like imagine that being a title and then it's a flop

i'm claiming track 4

they could never make me hate her

okay great, so you understand that concept. so why not scale that same thing? tax the ultra rich, partition people's income taxes to healthcare, and there's the fix. stop sending billions to our military budget that ends up going overseas to other countries each year, for example, israel. also, you mentioned how wait times would increase. you ever tried getting a kidney or liver transplant in the US? guess what! wait times are already a thing as it is!!! ever tried getting an appointment with a doctor/dentist/etc? there's already wait times.... lol just because hobos or people who can't afford healthcare would now have access to it doesn't mean you won't ever get seen by a doctor. in fact, it might incentivize more doctors to move to your area so you'll now have better access. your entire argument makes you sound class driven. i truly hope some day you grow up and understand your ways of thinking is... gross and illogical. sure! in fact, i'll give you 3. Economic Effects of Five Illustrative Single-Payer Health Care Systems: Working Paper 2022-02 "In this analysis, we found that economic output would be between 0.3 percent lower and 1.8 percent higher than the benchmark economy 10 years after the single-payer system was implemented, without incorporating the effects of financing the system. Under a single-payer system, workers would choose to work fewer hours, on average, despite higher wages because the reduction in health insurance premiums and OOP expenses would generate a positive wealth effect that allowed households to spend their time on activities other than paid work and maintain the same standard of living. If the system was financed with an income or payroll tax, gross domestic product (GDP) would be between approximately 1.0 percent and 10 percent lower by 2030, depending on the specification of the single-payer system and the details of the financing policy. Moreover, that wealth effect would boosts households’ disposable income, which they could then split between increased saving and nonhealth consumption. Although hours worked per capita would decline, the effect on GDP would be offset under most policy specifications by an increase in economywide productivity, an increase in the size of the labor force, an increase in the average worker’s labor productivity, and a rise in the capital stock. Additionally, we found that average private nonhealth consumption per capita would rise by about 11.5 percent by 2030. The average rise in nonhealth consumption is larger than it would be if the effects of financing the system were included in the analysis. The effects of a single-payer health care system on nonhealth consumption would be felt differently by people of different ages and incomes. The percentage increase in lifetime nonhealth consumption would be largest among younger and lower-income households after the system was implemented. If the system was financed with an income or payroll tax, nonhealth consumption per capita would be between approximately 3 percent higher and 7 percent lower by 2030, depending on the specification of the single-payer system and the details of the financing policy." Here's another one, in case you don't bother reading the first! Projected costs of single-payer healthcare financing in the United States: A systematic review of economic analyses "In this systematic review, we found a high degree of analytic consensus for the fiscal feasibility of a single-payer approach in the US. Actual costs will depend on plan features and implementation. Future research should refine estimates of the effects of coverage expansion on utilization, evaluate provider administrative costs in varied existing single-payer systems, analyze implementation options, and evaluate US-based single-payer programs, as available. What did the researchers do and find? We found and compared cost analyses of 22 single-payer plans for the US or individual states. Nineteen (86%) of the analyses estimated that health expenditures would fall in the first year, and all suggested the potential for long-term cost savings. The largest savings were predicted to come from simplified billing and lower drug costs. Studies funded by organizations across the political spectrum estimated savings for single-payer. What do these findings mean? There is near-consensus in these analyses that single-payer would reduce health expenditures while providing high-quality insurance to all US residents. To achieve net savings, single-payer plans rely on simplified billing and negotiated drug price reductions, as well as global budgets to control spending growth over time. Replacing private insurers with a public system is expected to achieve lower net healthcare costs." Here's an extra, for good measure and all A Business Case for Universal Healthcare: Improving Economic Growth and Reducing Unemployment by Providing Access for All "If the United States were to implement a system to ensure universal care, American companies would no longer face a disadvantage in competing with businesses from countries, such as Canada, that provide national healthcare systems. Additionally, healthcare would cease to be a large factor guiding individuals’ career decisions. A national, universal care system would level the playing field among domestic businesses, and eradicate the free-rider problem. For all of the above reasons, economic growth would likely improve, which would yield additional self-perpetuating benefits. There is an argument that the taxes to finance such a system would constrain business. This claim is seriously undercut by examples from around the world. For instance, Hong Kong, viewed by many as a “beacon of capitalism,” has universal healthcare. So does Denmark, which has higher levels of entrepreneurship than the United States.92 What is becoming increasingly clear now is that the current employer-sponsored healthcare system in the United States does hurt business." Good job, you've successfully been lied to by capitalists your entire life and like watching people suffer how cute.

fuck brian and his family, fuck healthcare, and fuck anyone who's a republican pro-capitalist simp. those who say universal healthcare wouldn't work are lying to you because they like money too much and don't understand economics. fuck right off. time and time again, it's been proven to work in nearly every country that's done it. in fact, we pay taxes each year with billions of funds that goes to israel for fun and they provide their people with universal healthcare. be honest and admit, you just like watching your neighbor suffer. if that's you, just say that with your chest. if universal healthcare didn't work, why do we pay for tricare for millions of people in the military and vets? why do we pay for medicare and medicaid? so i can get free healthcare if i'm disabled enough or poor enough, or if i sell my body to the government, but otherwise i have to pay my own way AND pay for someone else's healthcare? make it make fucking sense @fl0r1dakil0s

nominating me for everything

i love that she's wearing a black dress at a wedding, it's just so funny to me lol

In Destination, she's saying "You dont even know my name's a holiday, and if you call investigation, you can be my, you can be my, you can be"

also, i just went back to listen to it and it's so good, but what also bothers me about this one isn't even the finished song (although that vocal change i would've made, i'd still make) it's mostly the instrumental. i love the instrumental, but I hate that it has a weird white noise flair behind the actual instrumental. You can hear what I mean right about 0:22 compared to the beginning when there's no instrumental and it's silent. that bugs the fuck out of me. it's almost like recording white noise on tape or something

i really want stems to leak for this song so i can mix it myself. that beginning chorus would be so much better if it was really quiet and turned up slowly a bit as it got closer to the first verse and then her vocals come in full volume at "skipping rope in the bayou, bayou" alongside a tiny piano

i still want the version of HTD that we heard in that live

The conversation before yesterday was almost universally the same, which was mostly that we all thought it was deserved and something we celebrated. The conversation about murder is... grey. For example, let's say during the American slave era, a slave killed a slave "owner" (that term irks me.) Is that wrong? I don't think so, I'd think he got what he deserved. A lot of slave "owners" were rapists and murderers (at times directly, at other times, indirectly.) I think it comes down to intention and oppression. I think this type of murder is for the greater good, so it's justifiable the same way the French beheaded Marie Antionette. A burglar murdering a home owner is different because the home owner was minding their own business and not oppressing other people. In this case, the CEO was oppressing its own customers by denying claims that should've been cleared. Clearly, these aren't all exactly comparable, but it has similarities that I think help.

now i know you're lying they look nothing alike
