    Can anyone explain the Saudi’s response to me? It seems like a gross over reaction to a couple tweets and I genuinely don’t get it what they are hoping to accomplish.

    I’ve often wondered something similar. What if there were two was to rate comments, a agree/disagree button (or maybe just call it like/dislike) and a separate contributes/doesn’t contribute button? I strongly suspect it wouldn’t work out, but I do miss old Reddit where votes where for judging a comment’s contribution to the discussion. When used as intended that was a decent way of fostering interesting discussion. And I could see some utility in people being able to show their agreement or disagreement without commenting.

    I’m surprised there is so little political motivation for implementing some cost controls. Healthcare is such a mess and I assume things are only going to get worse as the boomers continue to age.
