What's this about a problem, I hear you ask? The current health insurance industry bureaucracy hires lots of low-income women to work at crappy jobs that might disappear under single-payer.
So, how about using some of the massive savings created by single payer to set up high quality subsidized child care or some other badly needed social services and hire those low-income women to do something more socially useful than pushing paper or answering phones?

i'm all for hounding Vice for its past, they used the guise of transgressiveness to be so nakedly bigoted that it's still kind of horrifying.

it is ironic cos when i was in art school taking modern art history that point when performance art and postmodernism came into view seemed to also be when critical feminism, POC, and other marginalized voices started getting into traditional art spaces

I played a show opening for the Horrors and we had bought a dozen or so goldfish. The plan was that the live goldfish would be in champagne glasses at the front of the stage, and that during the show we would knock them into the audience. Lead singer of the Horrors heard about this and pitched a fit and the club owner wouldn't let us do it. Several members of our band were even appearing on a split 7" with him, and he still wouldn't let us go through with that plan.Of course, the goldfish all ended up in the toilet. A more dignified way to go?
