In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Of course there will be. It's a highly appealing profession. Around here doctors income have dwindled considerably and it's no longer a guaranteed job for life, yet it's still, by a wide margin the most competitive graduation to get.
I frequent some American doctors forums, so I know what the wages are like. In my specialty, I've seen plenty who make an yearly salary that is roughly 10-15 times what I will be making after residency, and many times with privileges such as 12 weeks of paid vacation. There is a lot of room for loss of income and it still being an incredibly rewarding profession.
As a resident I make €1350 per month, if you wan't to put that into context (of course that's meaningless without cost of life considerations - the mortgage of my comfortable two-bedroom apartment only costs 250 per month). If I double that when I become a consultant I'll be pretty happy, as I'm not even sure if it will be reachable.
Your post was really good. I'm not opposed to a public health system. I'm always suspicious of waste and corruption in government run anything. I know that many health systems across western Europe work in a matter that seems satisfactory to most citizens.
I just come back to my original point that I don't want it to be a discussion around morality, because that can't possibly justify any of the necessary limitations to any system.
All things considered, it's probably about the best fallout you could've expected
Fair enough.Dulles was head of the CIA. Yes. He was behind what happened.
Comey is the head of the FBI.
Trump is safe in terms of his personal safety. So the similarities are only fleeting.
Think Trump will only be in serious trouble politically should the GOP lose the house.
Whoosh
You're quite right, and it is depressing. So many times I've heard people ask "why should I pay for someone else's healthcare?" Which is infuriating on two levels... 1) because it's the right thing to do, because they're paying for yours too... and 2) I don't hear them complaining about paying for someone elses police, fire department, lifeguards (example used in the previous video), paramedics, roads, schools, etc. etc. It's the height of hypocrisy.Another argument I've seen peddled is that single payer healthcare is basically resigning a doctor to a life of slavery
I really love America. Each time I went I always enjoyed it, and I always met loads of great people, but there's something wrong with the mentality of too many people in America when it comes to helping out others. I'm talking more on a bigger scale here. Not many things seem to really be about helping other people, all it ever seems to be about is money and maximizing profits. I know money is the most important thing to live in the world today, but there's something about America seems to drive that to new levels.
The best example of it is of course every time the healthcare topic comes up. "I can afford health insurance for me and my family, so balls to whoever can't."
People just seem to only look at the dollar signs here and think that there won't be people. Heck, if we convert to single payer, I ask this... Where are they going to flee to???
We're the only developed country in the world without a universal healthcare system. Where are they going to run to to practice medicine and still make 7 figure salaries? And if some do leave, by all means, you're welcome to come to SC!
I think Rosenstein should appoint Preet Bahara as Special Prosecutor.....

One of the things I'm really starting to see and enjoy is that Trump by rallying his ignoramous loud mouth haters has ignited the opposition. I am starting to think that the tide has turned and while they individually shout louder. The general public even if they all just speak will drown out the shouts with an hurricane of voices.
Damn Billy. That's deep.
I posted it with my left hand. Better?
I find this man to be something abhorrent. So I Worzel Gummidged my Billy head off and put my serious head on.
TBH, I don't think that's the height of hypocrisy. Hypocrisy yes but not the height.
The height of hypocrisy is that most people with such opinions consider themselves good Christians. In my book, that's the height of hypocrisy. Whenever I've asked this breed of Americans 'if alive, would Jesus had approved of your stance and why', I've never observed anything else than incoherent Twitler-like rambling, red faces, uneasy body language and a quick change of the subject.

It's my birthday today. Just saying. Good news are welcome.
I wouldn't use the word impressive. It's appalling because it would show that the GOP is entirely morally bankrupt. All the checks and balances fail to work if a relevant portion of voters are stupid and deporable enough to give a party as corrupt and hypocritical as the GOP a majority in Congress and Senate.
Bannon and The Vlad were smart enough to figure that out a long time ago.
Thats true, always something to celebrate. ^^
Well, from what I can see, a single-payer (alternatively, NHS) model will be simple. I don't think there are any restrictions on you buying pvt insurance under either model. These will be on top of your access to healthcare via the government, and should get past whatever limits the govt system sets. I don't think there should be any regulations on pvt insurance companies if single-payer passes, but reading the bill there seems to be one- "no pvt company may sell coverage that duplicates that provided by the act."
The penalty, etc. comes in when you have a government mandate to go through private insurance, which is not what the current bill has proposed.
So he straight up said on national TV that he was firing him because of the 'russia trump stuff'?
Is that not a confession of premeditated obstruction of justice? It sounds like it to me.

I'm beginning to wonder if he sees impeachment and a subsequent pardon as the only viable way out of this mess.
At what point does the NHS let sick people die, that other systems continue care? Serious question.

I think you give him too much credit.
I think hes just a fecking moron who does not understand the consequences of saying any of these things, because he has grown up in a life of privilege, reaching the age of 70 without anything he says ever having consequences before.
That fat cow Sarah Huckabee Sanders might be the stupidest person I've seen in any semi important position.
She reminds me of an actress and I can't quite put my finger on who. Maybe SNL is just blurring the lines too much.
But it also puts the US governmental system under the harshest of tests. Because unless he gets impeached now, he's just proven a president CAN say whatever they like regardless of laws, rules or protocol.

For sure she's one of the most poorly dressed people of the administration. Given that Twitler ordered Spicey to buy a nicer suit after his first briefings, it's amazing that she's still showing up in dreadful outfits.

I'd heard the headline point, but I'd never read the whole thing until today. My god this is terrifying..
So the US military are now authorized to perform kill missions without White House oversight. That's probably the most frightening thing that has happened so far under this imbecile.

Such a control freak. I really cannot stand this shit anymore, he's just SO corrupt it's taking the piss.
That'll be the rest of the GOP trying to tie up 2018 before Trump does any more damage.
Another move straight out the authoritarian playbook.
You know on the West Wing, Designated Survivor etc, programmes like that, where they show the behind the scenes action of everyone working hard trying to find a solution to some problem, brainstorming, and having flashes of inspiration that save the day?
This is like the Evil version of all that.
Oohh, this could be interesting..

As far as the GOP are concerned they don't need to look after the interests of the whole country, they only need to do what makes their supporters happy and what benefits them. That's how they rule anyway.
