    The study compared the credit scores of members of each ethnic group, leading to data that shows Caucasians earning less than $25,000 per year were likely to have better credit scores than African-Americans earning between $65,000 and $75,000 per year.

    That is super interesting! Tells you everything you need to know, really.

    We've risen from the ashes before.

    Leftism is the waste by-product of the safety people far better than them provide.

    Eventually the crap overflows and you have a mess on your hands.

    No. If one is a higher risk than the other, they get the higher rate.

    If what you are saying is true then their risk level doesn't matter when you know that's not true.....it is all that matters.

    Look i just proved it in my previous post which is why you didn't even attempt to respond to it. You are not capable of admitting you are wrong and I'm not wasting any more time talking to a wall about something so blatantly obvious.

    What's your point? Insurers are passing along the costs to better-off, healthy people.
    Production costs don't tend to jump. That's nonsense. Drug companies are jacking up the prices of existing drugs.
    Uh huh.

    Below are the 15 countries that exported the highest dollar value worth of drugs and medicines during 2018.
    1. Germany: US$62.3 billion (16.5% of total drugs/medicines exports)
    2. Switzerland: $45.3 billion (12%)
    3. Belgium: $27.8 billion (7.4%)
    4. France: $25.9 billion (6.8%)
    5. Netherlands: $25.6 billion (6.8%)
    6. United States: $22.1 billion (5.8%)
    7. Ireland: $21.7 billion (5.7%)
    8. United Kingdom: $19.7 billion (5.2%)
    9. Italy: $19.7 billion (5.2%)
    10. India: $13.1 billion (3.5%)
    11. Denmark: $12.9 billion (3.4%)
    12. Spain: $9 billion (2.4%)
    13. Canada: $6.8 billion (1.8%)
    14. Sweden: $6.7 billion (1.8%)
    15. Austria: $5.5 billion (1.5%)

    By value, the listed 15 countries shipped 85.6% of all exported drugs and medicine for 2018.

    Among the above countries, the fastest-growing drugs/medicines exporters since 2013 were: Denmark (up 292.8%), Netherlands (up 30.4%), Switzerland (up 26.7%) and India (up 22.5%).

    Those countries that posted declines in their exported drugs/medicines sales were led by: United Kingdom (down -18.1%), United States (down -14.3%), Italy (down -12.4%), Belgium (down -8.9%) and Austria (down -8.3%)
    .​

    All pointing to a shortage of doctors.
    Drugs are sold privately in Canada.
    They are sovereign in their territory. Again, those companies are international and don't give a rat's rear about what happens to you. They aren't "American companies." They don't even make the drugs here.

    "Leftism... [blah, blah, blah]" All this generalization about an undefined group of people is pathetic. It's no better than liberals generalizing about conservatives.

    We can be sure that all the banks in the US who were made to pay 100's of millions in damages... EACH... and the US government who payed.. I think even over 2 BILLION in damages.... got better lawyers than you, champ.

    And they lost the case.
    The white privilege is real. They are paying the price. A low price.

    Don't try teaching 4-year-old to swim by tossing them in the deep end.

    Unless we want a permanently impoverished underclass, we need to help people learn new skills. The days of plentiful low skill, high wage are pretty much over.

    The fact remains that they lost their case. They are guilty of racial discrimination. And I'm not here to debate if you, as an absolute amateur, think you know it all better than the massive or armies of lawyers that were thrown at the case.

    The settlements all say no. And you're not going to convince me that you, as an absolute amateur claim to know it better / have better arguments than the armies of lawyers the banks threw at the case.

    Yes, what I said about white liberals hightailing it out of black communities. White conservatives do the dame thing.
    All the more reason to clean up the black communities, no?

    It's offered free in my state and people who don't want to work don't sign up, they would rather draw their pennies and get free healthcare and free childcare and free food and free housing.

    People outside the black community should facilitate blacks cleaning up their communities.

    If black communities became as law abiding and civil and as successful as Asians it would make a HUGE difference and there would be no reason for any flight and their communities would prosper.

    The quality of training is often spotty and not good enough to help people with poor learning skills.

    It's a racist policy BY HER OWN WORDS I don't have to read anything. Whatever it is you are reading, copy and paste it. I did her actual words which YOU are trying to spin.

    From BET
    "Kamala Harris announced on Saturday (July 6) that she wants to invest $100 billion into housing assistance for Black families as part of an agenda to close the racial wealth gap in the United States.

    Appearing at Essence’s Global Black Economic Forum, the California senator stressed the role of homeownership and claimed she would assist four million homebuyers through down payment and closing-cost assistance. That help would come through granting up to $25,000 in down payment assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

    "After generations of discrimination, it’s time to give Black families a real shot at homeownership," Harris tweeted on Saturday (July 6)."

    It's a racist policy, there are LOTS of poor whites too.

    if based on nothing more then their gender or age, not their driving history, then that is age\gender discrimination

    you can argue that it's ok to discriminate based on age or gender this way, but it's still discrimination based on age or gender

    your the one that is wrong about it not being discrimination

    your right that they are using gender and age statistics as their reason for discriminating

    totally agree, same way as calling something a Muslim ban makes it wrong even if later it's tweeked a little to make sure it's not just all muslims - the original intent was clear

    personally I think if I was black and lived in a poor black community that was crime ridden, I would move to a more diverse community with less crime... better job opportunities and less risk of harm to family

    heck if I lived in a poor white community that was crime ridden, I would move and not give it a second thought

    may be scary moving, but in the long run, it's really the best option, especially in a town like Detroit were the auto makers all went out of country, gonna be hard to bring those jobs back

    the truth is, rich people are not gonna set up shop in a poor crime ridden city, regardless of race or the rich person or the race of the community - well unless they find a precious mineral there to mine or something

    what in the heck do they think the sub-prime loans were targeted toward? Without having skin in the game (10-20% down), there is no incentive to maintain a home let alone repay the loan as you have nothing to lose
