re: What are some of your non conservative beliefs

I believe corporations - particularly of the large international variety - have too much power in government and should not be allowed to lobby in any form.
Strong tariffs with some exception for those who invest and hire in this country.
Stronger antitrust.
Local media cannot be owned by large corporations with little to no tie to a community. Ownership in local media should have direct ties to the communities they serve.
I do believe in safety nets for the elderly, disabled and temporary assistance for those in emergency need, but no subsistence welfare for any who have the ability to bring in an income.
Banning AI.

I am for abortion, but there has to be a time frame.

Not that I support Universal Health care, but if conservatives don't get off their arse on this issue, we are going to have it because the cost is out of frickin control.
We went from terminating the ACA, to modifying it, to shying away from even discussing the impact that it has had on the private insurance markets.
Anyone who gets their insurance from their employer has seen a significant increase in the costs of their plans and a corresponding decrease in coverage.

Unions are a cancer on this country.
Unions are what gave rise to the middle class. Most of us would be dirt poor if it weren't for unions that gave our parents the work environment that people chastise boomers about.
The US's exploitation of third world labor only enriched other countries like China. This isn't the fault of unions. This is the fault of corporate greed.
People need to work, but more than that - they need meaningful work. This is something that has been deprived of people by globalization.

Tort "reform"is a bunch of BS and a scam to benefit the insurance companies with no benefit to the consumer.

I really wish they would open the VA up for folks like you…

Healthcare
I believe that it’s not in our best interest to have a medical system that is geared for profit.
I don’t want complete single payer national healthcare because that’s not in our best interest either.
We need some sort of hybrid system

Yes, that's why it works there. The US has population spread over vast distances. I live 25 miles from the nearest coffee shop. You're not gonna have high speed rail from my neighborhood to Starbucks.

The food industry is a big problem. That ties in with the medical industry as well. Our people are poisoned before they're even born, and it's gotten worse since the 80s. Too much of the wrong food, too many chemicals and other contaminants that are just part of the Western diet.
But that would come second or secondary
There is a certain point that people have the right to make choices and the markets is going to do absolutely what it does
maybe we need more transparent labeling on food but even more important than that the label needs to be accurate and easily understood like we do meats
and that's something that lobbyists can pay to get the FDA to classify things the food producers want them to do
That's not taking the chemicals out of food that's just letting people know whether they're in there or not and letting the free market decide the winners
but the mentally ill...its' in the name illness of mental capacities
these people should not be making choices.. whether due to deficiencies or age young /old or injury

End victimless crime. Reform of national drug and alcohol laws.

Climate change is real and we should do whatever we can to minimize our impact on this planet.
Where I differ is that it isn't simply man-made. It's way way more complicated than that. Also more complicated is what to do about it. Electric everything and removing fossil fuels does almost nothing on the long run.

You mean like Beethoven? Born deaf and dumb? How about giving that child a chance to become someone great. Why does it always have to be worse case in these scenarios?
I honestly don't know how to handle it. Being in healthcare for the last 20 + years has scarred me, I think. The things I've witnessed with kids in the ER have me a bit screwed up. Also, I wasn't speaking of being born with handicaps or medical ailments. I was referring to parents making the child's life a living hell.

Just describing my left leaning belief. For the most part I am staunchly right wing. I believe the people are the building blocks of a nation, and you don't get that by turning them into slaves. I want to see the United States and its people come first. I don't trust corporations to do that. Something needs to keep them in check. It's either government or unionization. Of course the politicians chose government (and what a shitty job they've done.)
