Thanks. This seems like the most sensible reading from a literary point of view.

When did we start pretending there was continuity between the several Bonds. Craig‘s Bond was clearly a reboot, and his character’s arc was complete. The next guy should be a fresh new take, not a continuation.

This is why healthcare should not be provided via insurance. Fire and flood and car accidents may never happen, but we will all need healthcare. Since healthcare is a *certainty* rather than a *risk*, it should be socialized not provided via insurance.

Yes, i’ve long felt that ever utilitarian assessment needs to be checked against the experience of the people it affects. Always stop and ask what will this feel like to the people involved? Virtue ethics needs to be a back stop in any political calculation.
