Except the money Americans are taxed gets invested in “Healthcare” only for them to receive no benefit from it. We actually get taxed more than some socialist/less capitalist countries.
In terms of technological advances, or maximizing wellness of the maximum people?
People of wealth travel from all over the world for access to the cutting edge techniques and treatments found in US institutions like mayo clinic and John Hopkins.
The problem is the cost and access is very uneven.
The advances they come from this system spread across the world. Obviously it isn’t the only way advances are made, and it doesn’t justify the exploitation, but the world certainly benefits from American healthcare research. (Again not implying important advances only come from America)
Just imagine that a woman has about 10 children, then forced them to have about 5 grandchildren per child. Now she has a gang. And all of that only because she wants to have full control over the neighborhood /s
There isn’t much detail in the English article, but to give you an example of how crazy things got, the 25th child of a family had free education… The average was 14 child per family at its peak! French Canadians in New Brunswick went from 15% to 40% of the province’s population over a century even if french immigration was basically non existent while English immigration was…
You make it sound like bad to have a family gang. It has so many uses, great for ilegal stuff, great for polítics, great for business, it is all benefits of controlling up to certain point a large group of people and having a strong link with them.
It’s likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents–and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.
The sick thing is most donors have so much hoarded wealth their entire lineage will never spend it l… But it’s worth letting the earth burn to accumulate more.
I used to think that way until I had my own baby. I understand the parents a lot more now. We don’t bring our babies in flights/places to annoy anyone (some parents might do it, Idk :v). It’s a complicated situation where we want to stay with our loved ones and at the same time don’t be yelled by strangers who can’t handle baby noises, trust us, we try to calm them down, if we could, babies wouldn’t annoy so much, but they kinda have a mind of it’s own 🙂 (stubbornness at its peak) I don’t expect anything to change, specially in the terms lf having patience with strangers, but… idk :v
I think perhaps you misunderstand. Most people don't think parents bring their kids along to deliberately disrupt travel. At least, I certainly hope that's not what people think.
But, intent is irrelevant. It doesn't stop it being annoying for some/many people.
As for the picture here. I suspect the reason more people are looking this way than usual. It looks to be a business class cabin. I know many people book business class because it more likely puts you at some distance from the noisier cabins. This looks like they probably have a dedicated business class boarding door. So they likely realise they're coming to sit in the same cabin.
If you book in economy, you're used to and expect it more, I think.
Yes, and I'm agreeing with you. But the animosity is a general illogical (but human) thinking of "Why did you bring them on MY flight?"
Like I say, when people reflect, they're not angry at the people, they're angry at the situation they're in. At least, I hope that's what normal people are doing.
Believe it or not, we’re not all despondent nihilists, hell bent on self fulfilling prophecies of negligent apocalypse incapable of empathy and compassion for those who still gently carry that same flame that brought us all here, not yet lulled like so many into a dark shroud of self doubt and loathing by gluttonous corporations who grow fat on the grief and despair of those who are content to take what is given and slip through life soundless and meak, refusing to create change, however individual, however small, so sure that three hundred thousand years of humanity is unquestionably doomed to the darkness you choose to wallow in.
Some of us want to fight and we love our kids (and yours) and this world, and yes, we even love you nihilists, and we’ll fight for you too.
I’m one of those nihilists but it doesn’t mean I’m apathetic, it just means I’d rather help other people survive this shit than add another number to the count.
Also damn, are you the reincarnation of Hemingway or something? here I am checking out lemmy and you wrote a full on award winning post.
One of the best things about moving here from the bad place was how their senseless, rabid hatred of young people didn't carry over. It's heartbreaking to see sentiments like this starting to spread.
Come on. It’s not that bad. Plus “maybe don’t take babies on plane trips” doesn’t equal “kill all babies” or “fuck Dem kids”. There are many subtle levels.
I definitely recommend revisiting this post about 12 hrs later. It’s kind of wild in here. Saw a comment with 19 upvotes referring to children as “cum pets.”
I don't think I could bear it. Activism for the rights and freedoms of young people has been such a big part of my life for such a long time that that kind of anti-child attitude burns my soul.
I’m sorry your family was too broke to ever leave whatever shithole you come from. If your parents were good at your job you wouldn’t be threatening to hurt children.
I’m patiently waiting for my 4th Pixel 5A RMA since they love frying motherboards outta nowhere but damn once you get grapheneos going it really is something else
It makes the stock pixel seem so bloated with all the non-removable google apps. Like why can’t I remove the pixel buds app?
I never had any issues with the motherboard on my 5A, but I gave up on it after destroying the screen twice. I have a 6 now but it’s annoyingly large, top heavy, and I have to keep it on LTE only mode to have decent battery life.
I had similar argument in reddit today , people talk about bloat but ignore all the Google bloat, I don’t want to use Google apps, there are better alternatives out there.
I’m running Paranoid Android on my mi 11x . better than stock miui though I need GM’s and few Google stuffs for some peculiar apps to work.
Just yesterday, my manager asked me how often I was coming to office. I said 3 days.
Then he said (paraphrasing):
Well, okay. 3 days is the minimum, okay? Now, you know it’s up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. If you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to come in more and we encourage that, okay?
Agree completely except for the vast underselling of BG3. It’s one of the best games in years IMO and as far as I can tell, Larian is up to few or none of the usual money vampire tricks that have disgustingly become standard practice of the industry! ✊️❤️
I did get BG1&2 for six dollars total on GOG, so I’ll be trying those out in the meantime. When I really got into the genre was Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny.
This was the game that popped my cherry. My very first game, links awakening was my second. Up to this date I still love Zelda but haven’t tried the spiritual successor to planescape “tides of numenara”.
I’m a picky gamer and very, very rarely buy games at full price (last one was Elden Ring) but decided to pick up BG3 last night to see if it lived up to the hype, and return it within the refund window if it didn’t. 6h later, I still couldn’t put it down.
One of those (sadly rare) instances where a game absolutely deserves the premium price tag.
Fuck ya'll pineapple on pizza is amazing! Salty and sweet actually goes together quite well, and having some quality pineapple paired with bacon, cheese tomato sauce and bread taste amazing!
It’s cool among leftists to dismiss obvious bullshit. Saying the word genocide doesn’t make it so, doubly so when you make it obvious you don’t even know what the word genocide means.
