All American makes have a 40% chance of developing cancer in their lifetimes which you are saying is risky

You said that. You defined the risk. Are you having memory problems again and think that I made your comment?

So you’re saying it’s risky to be an American male.

That is the conclusion you have drawn based on the risk you, yourself, defined. Yet, you’re blaming me for things you did.

Do you know what a strawman is?

Sure: when you try to change the subject from health insurance to:

  • “being an American male”
  • unemployment insurance
  • your wages
  • my usage of quotation marks

These ar just a few examples of the straw man arguments you’ve tried here.

You brought up wages and employment insurance, though?

I asked about your usage of the quotation marks because it seems like you feel like my beliefs are less then.

This is totally bringing me back to my Reddit days, so thank you for that!

Wrong again. That was you.

Gee, those memory problems seem to be getting worse. Seems pretty foolish to have gambled on not getting health insurance when you appear to be in such need.

A straw man and deflection. Your insecurities about your “beliefs” has nothing to do with health insurance.

Yeah, people here usually don’t use so many obvious logical fallacies and circular arguments like you do. Most people know better.

You’re gambling that there’s someone willing to pay that amount for your labor. The stakes? Your financial security.

This was you bringing up wages before the cherry-picked comment.
