Inefficiency is the opposite of working. That is what happens when demand artificially increases and the supply doesn't. As well as taking price out of the equation since we know that is a staple of competition. Competition increases quality.
You're not going to disagree with those basic economic points are you?

Cortez isn't in Shapiro's intellectual stratosphere.

It would be a complete embarrassment for her. She would be wise to ignore the request.

The main point imo, she has no reason too whatsoever.

It's less expensive in other countries which counters that argument and nothing is perfect. Everyone being able to afford to see a doctor when they need to in an imperfect system beats an imperfect system where many can not afford to see a doctor when they need to.

If Cortez is confident in her views that socialist policies are better than capitalism she should jump at the opportunity of debate .

Also this talk about debates or discussion shouldn’t only occur between competing political opponents is kind of ridiculous.

It happens all the time .

Someone that believes that people would prefer a recliner over their health isn't exactly in a very high stratosphere.

Do you think Trump would debate George Will to defend his Socialist programs?

No it doesn't. Whether it should or shouldn't, it doesn't happen. Someone like Shapiro has nothing to lose. He can make the most outlandish statements possible and it affects him none.

I watched the fake Ocasio interview that purports to show her as a dumb buffoon. It was very funny. But then I watched some of her real interviews. There wasn't that much difference. She really is a dumb buffoon. And the low level people who elected her kind of deserve her.

Fake and funny:

Real and scary:

THIS is our future? THIS is the best they can offer? Vacuous is now virtue? Ummm, no.

Some who thinks Shapiro said he prefers a recliner over health insurance isn't exactly someone to listen too. When you let emotions sway your thought process your posts become silly.
