He’s definitely a bit of an asshole, but at the end of the day, from what I’ve seen from him over the years he does have his head on straight on a LOT of issues.
I don’t even think he’s an asshole, honestly. He just has no filter against stupidity.
Hard agree. I used to think he was just strictly a dick, but his introspection and growth shows he’s really honestly been thinking about things with as much empathy as he can muster.
He’s essentially as close to Carlin as we’re likely to see.
Shhh, that’s what people were saying about Dave Chappelle before, you know, all the stuff he’s said recently about trans people
I assure you no one was saying that about Dave Chappelle. That dude has always been a racist jackass. He just happened to be funny for a short while.
I watched that clip on Kimmel. I don’t normally watch but I like Bill Burr. Kimmel got really uncomfortable after he said Free Luigi. Not just like the network telling him, but in a way that seemed like Kimmel doesn’t understand why people like Luigi.
That’s okay. I don’t understand why people like Kimmel.
There’s lots of things I don’t understand.
Like the color of thought and the sounds of a rainbow.

I love this.
Kimmel is really quiet leftist, so he gets it. But he’s also beholden to network executives who only understand money and the things that make them money. And advertisers don’t like Luigi or the idea that CEOs are disposable.
Kimmel is a brogressive limousine liberal.
That doesn’t make him a bad guy, but based on what I’ve seen of Kimmel it’s entirely possible that he would not understand
Definitely believes you shouldn’t kill people.
He’s not angry or upset enough, he’s safe and comfortable
He’s selling what sells
Evidently what sells is dead ceos and he’s missing the ball.
Kimmel gets it…his advertising people won’t be happy about it though.
I think a lot of rich leftists are hoping that shit holds together long enough that they can die comfortable, even if it means poor people have to suffer decades.
“leftists”
Liberals.
Being on your national left doesn’t make you a leftist.
It’s against the rules of lemmy.world to call for violence against insurance companies, and the people who work for them, so I won’t. But I don’t think it’s against the rules to imply I would if that wasn’t in the rules.
I’m surprised to see this comment and the amount of upvotes.
Doesn’t this break the PC bubble, where every person who works a mediocre job is a good person and no matter how disgusting the company is, you should never take your frustration out on them, yada yada yada.
But if it’s an insurance company it’s okay to commit violence?
Yup, thats it. People are literally saying that its okay to commit violence against anyone who works for any kind of insurance company. Even the cleaners of a home insurance firm.
Well done you for understanding the situation.
Fuck you lot are a bunch of sour puss losers.
My point is, seemingly 90% of the American public are so blinded by their views, living in an echo chamber that anything the other side does is bad and everything they say is flawless. It’s fucking madness.
No, I got your point. I mocked it because your point was stupid.
Fucking just make this guy the face of the dnc and we can be done with all this shit already. Just fucking do it already. Pull the strings, pad his pockets, and get going with reconstruction.
I swear to God if someone passes control of the dnc to bill burr we will skip 50 years of regression.
There’s very few people that could run the DNC worse than the current DNC.
This seems pretty on-brand for burr… He’s always kind of rooted for the “little guy” so to speak. He’s also blunt and doesn’t really give a shit if you don’t like what he has to say.
He doesn’t say much that wasn’t cut out,
Here is a 1 min video from a month ago that goes into more detail:
He doesn’t say much that wasn’t cut out
My brain hurts trying to make sense of the negations in this conundrum. Thanks for that. 😞
Insurance companies are taking the risk of offering insurance. That is why they normally make money year after year after year.
When bad things happen, they take the hits. They take on some debt. They stop making profits… because they decided to purchase the risk from people. That’s the gig.
There is a middle ground here that doesn’t bone homeowners and doesn’t completely bone the insurance companies affected. They should be taking on debt and making zero profits until they pay it off. That’s not how things work here though, i’m sure they will be bailed out on taxpayer money or something… but what should probably happen is that they should be given a federal loan on pretty favorable terms, something like 1-2% interest, until it’s paid off.
At the same time standards for homes in areas at risk should be such that fire mitigation is mandated whenever a house changes hands. This will inevitably drive up costs, but again maybe this is another case for low/no interest rate loans to cover the changes. A billion or two today could save 25-100-500++ billion over a few years.
There is a middle ground here
There doesn’t need to be a middle ground. Most developed countries do fine with universal healthcare.
I am pretty close to the opinion that all private companies need to be abolished and absorbed by collective ownership. There are almost no instances where I can see greed being the secret ingredient that makes things run MORE smoothly.
Louder for the people on the back, please!
