Worst part about being in so many Chicago Gangs? They each use a different benefits coordinator and all of their websites suck butts.

I was working an entire essay on this very notion this summer and this is reminding me I should pick it back up. TL;DR - every price is someone else's income and whether prices going down on something is "good" depends a whole lot on what you do for a living.

ANDREESSEN: Even if AI ends up destroying all the jobs, “the result would be hyper-deflation of prices, which is the thing that people miss. .. Things that today cost a lot of money will all of a sudden be cheap or free.”

you can find dummies on this very website saying it and they will explain it means if nobody has health insurance you'd be able to pay for a liver transplant out of pocket for less than the premiums. it's a broadly popular idea.

Trying to parse her “all health insurance is a scam comment”. Does she mean she favors Medicare for all?
