Americans now pay more for healthcare than housing.
The only solution to this is to legalize AI providing medical care in all 50 states
Doctors will certainly still be in the loop (similar to FSD) but this is the only solution that collapses the cost of care
Many lives will be saved.

When haidt did his research showing liberals are unable to predict what conservatives morality is, it wasn’t just things like explaining the conservative case against abortion, it was also things like “would you randomly kick a dog in the head.” Or “would you stick a pin into a random kid.”

HOW IRAN'S GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY WORKS
Iran mixes theocracy and democracy in a complicated system where the supreme leader holds the most power.
The supreme leader commands the armed forces, declares war and peace, and appoints heads of the judiciary, state media, military, and half the Guardian Council (who vet candidates for elected offices).
They're chosen by the Assembly of Experts, 88 Islamic clerics elected by the public, but those candidates are vetted by the Guardian Council, whose members are partly appointed by the supreme leader (it's circular).
Iran does have an elected president who handles day-to-day government and represents the country internationally, but the Guardian Council dismisses moderate candidates and there have been claims of vote rigging.
The supreme leader has no term limit and stands above all elected officials.

Many Asians & Asian Americans view themselves as sharing cultural "status" with other minority groups.
They view themselves in opposition to White Americans despite being a more economically & socially successful group.
Mass immigration created horrible, sectarian politics.

Oil dependency on the Strait of Hormuz:
Japan: 70%
South Korea: 68%
India: 60%
China: 45%
Europe: 15%
USA: 5-7%
Indices today:
Nikkei 225: -5%
KOSPI: -6%
Nifty 50: -2%
SSE: -0.7%
Euro stoxx 50: -2%
S&P 500: -1%
Oil dependency on the Strait of Hormuz and the performance of countries’ main stock indices appear to be highly correlated right now. The market seems to be pricing in the possibility that the Strait could remain closed for an extended period. China stands out as the exception - despite its high oil dependency, its market saw only a small correction today.
The main reason markets may believe the situation could drag on is that the United States itself is not in a rush to reopen the Strait. The U.S. has low dependency on oil flows through Hormuz, and the disruption weakens China disproportionately. Trump may view the economic pain experienced by Japan and South Korea as acceptable collateral damage for weakening China. For both Japan and South Korea it's a very tricky situation, since they are perceived as fragile economies. Some dominos could start falling if this drags on for too long.
If there was ever any doubt about how heavily modern economies depend on oil, this situation should make it very clear.
Pay close attention.

The CIA's been calling water the Middle East's "strategic commodity" since the 1980s. And now Iran's proving why.
100 million Gulf residents depend on 450 desalination plants. Most have zero alternatives.
The Jubail plant supplies 90% of Riyadh's drinking water via 500km pipeline. A leaked 2008 U.S. embassy cable: If that plant gets hit, "Riyadh would have to evacuate within a week."
Not months. A week. Saudi Arabia's capital.
Iran's already testing. They hit a power station in Fujairah (UAE) running one of the world's largest desalination plants. Drone debris caused fire at Kuwait's plant. After claiming the U.S. hit their Qeshm Island plant, Iran struck Bahrain's desalination facility.
The taboo's broken.
Here's Iran's calculation: Can't beat the U.S.-Israeli war machine militarily. So hit soft targets (energy, airports, water), make victory unbearable. Surviving = winning.
Historical precedent: 1991, Saddam deliberately spilled Kuwaiti oil into the Gulf trying to damage Saudi desalination plants.
The dependency:
Kuwait: 90%
Qatar: ~100%
UAE: 42% (higher in cities)
Saudi Arabia: 70%
One strike on Jubail evacuates millions from Riyadh. One strike on Dubai's Jebel Ali complex (43 units, 160 billion gallons yearly) shuts down the city.
Oil you can replace. Water infrastructure you can't rebuild fast enough to prevent humanitarian catastrophe.
The CIA's 1980s assessment said Gulf officials saw water as "more important than oil." 40 years later, nothing changed. Except now there's a war and Iran's cornered.
Water's not just precious. It's the weapon that decides if 100 million people can stay in their homes.
