In my experience, PPOs are nearly as restrictive as HMOs, but far more arcane.
I have had many experiences where in attempting to see a doctor, I find one that seems to accept my insurance, only to later discover that they only accept the platinum plan, and I'm on the Platinum PLUS plan, so actually none of my visits were covered.
With an HMO (I had kaiser, which was by far the best healthcare I've ever had) shit was obvious. You got treatment from the HMOs offices, and you were covered.
This is very annoying for the recipient but is shitty for the drivers too-- we depend on tips that we aren't getting when we are delivering fascists unwanted pizzas.
Yeah she posts them. Obviously her "hotness" is a matter of personal taste, but it's not surprise that a lot of men were eager to bust in a conventionally attractive woman.
Not really.
Robert Evans worked for Bellingcat, which has gotten funding from the National Endowment For Democracy, which is basically a state department cut out.
He also gave a talk to the FBI about right wing extremist groups in the US.
His politics are a sort of anarcho-liberalism. He doesn't recognize that the machinery of the US empire is inherently evil and cannot be used for good, so he was in favor of terrible ideas like enforcing a no fly zone over Syria.
Edit: also, I was listening to It Could Happen Here a while back, and the Washington State Police were running ads on it lmao. Pretty much stopped listening to all of their shit shortly afterward.
There is a certain logic to the original ideas of effective altruism. If you want to make positive change in the world, you will be more able to do so if you are a powerful person.
The problem is you can essentially use it as a justification for endlessly pursuing your own personal power. After all the more powerful you become, the more good you can do! In fact it makes it easy to justify committing immoral acts in the pursuit of power-- think of it from a utilitarian point of view! I am going to do so much good once I'm rich, that it will far out weight the harm I'm doing now. In other words, an okay idea that is used and abused by the greedy and power hungry to convince themselves they aren't bad people.

What do you mean, "if"?
