More than welcome to go to another system. None of witch works. US system is not perfect, but its the best
Yeah, don't seek to improve anything. I wouldn't trade ours for that of Cambodia, but I'd sure as shit trade it for Denmark. We could strive to implement better processes in our system. First thing is to admit that there's a problem.
Easy on the racism pal.
I have read that comment four times and I'm not seeing anything even race-related, let alone racist.
Don't pretend like you don't know racist dog whistles when you see them
I certainly don't in this case, so maybe you can point them out to me.
Oh I love going bankrupt because I got ill. The US system is broken and needs to be fixed/revamped. It is by far not the best.
I'm an advocate for fixing it so much it looks completely different, effectively destroying it.
I had to pay a $3000 hospital bill last year for surgery that I waited two years to get and it didn't even work. And I have what is considered good insurance.
The system is fucking broken.
Oh... Poor guy, lives in one of the richest countries of the world and has one of the best healthcare systems ever. Poor guy had to pay money :(, paying money = bad! Paying more of that money in taxes even yiu never use the system to have "free" care = good!
Considering I wouldn't have had to pay that money if I lived in any other Western country, you're correct, except not sarcastically. Why do people deserve to go broke just because they have cancer?
The best at what?
Keeping it citizens fat and happy while an elite few rape it's wealth and resources?
The best at papering over the massive problems that pervade its society at every level?
The best at mass shootings?
The best at electing possibly genuinely retarded people to political office (tens of millions of americans voted for donald trump, even after 4 years of him being clinically unhinged and extremely stupid)?
The best at having an average reading age of 9?
"Fat and happy" :)
Just like an animal being led to the slaughter :)
Happiness through ignorance is not exactly something to be envied.
"The best" in what category??
Because everyone has the capability to just move to anywhere if they don't like a place. People don't have any family or friends they would leave behind, and they always have enough money to just move to another country.
Not anyone, just people who are willing to go to a better place. Ask any imigrant at the south border if they left family/friends ot if they have "enough money" (whatever that means) to come to the US (better place than any of the places left behind).
If you learn how to read charts and graphs, you can look up worldwide happiness indexes and where the US is in education and freedom and all those things. They are all written down for you. Intelligent people have already done the research and had a peer reviewed. All that you have to do is learn how to understand it.
"Intelligent people make graphs" lol, no people with time do. Dont need to be "Intelligent" to make that investigation
