But Spending $700 Billion Every Year To Maintain 800 Military Bases In 70 Countries Around The World Is Totally Fine And Normal

Endless, you're forgetting the USA does not exist. THe UNITED STATES IS A CORPORATION. That's the final matrix you'll learn. THE US and all her entities after the Revolutionary War and during and just after the Civil war had finally created a state in which it was incorporated. Look up the United States in Blacks Law book. It is a corporation, so is your congressmen and women, the congress, which does NOT SERVE YOU, who is also incorporated via your SS# and your local and state enforced police, also incorporated, your city and town, etc.,

Sorry, you gave up your rights. THe point is the state should not grant you prilages and has the moeny to at least use it for the benefit of the people, but they don't do that, because WE THE PEOPLE do not deserve it, for we gave up our rights and constitution to become citizens, ie. serfs.

You would be hard pressed to find many Canadians that say our universal healthcare really works. Maybe to the minimum of acceptable levels, but there are MANY pitfalls compared to private healthcare. Huge wait lists, limited treatment, huge travelling to appointments, etc.

Too bad our system heavily restricts the freedoms of private healthcare.

In other news, there is literally 1 out of 33 of those nations developed nations where you are allowed to: - teach your dog to sieg heil - say fuck the government/President/prime minister/leader - openly express controversial ideas, ideas which may be considered racist or abhorrent

Of course if that isn't your thing, you might also realize that socialized medicine is great for having the sniffles. When you have some cancer, they're coming here instead of getting on that socialized treatment wait list.

Why would we want shit healthcare like the rest of the planet. They're all getting innovations like immunotherapy from the USA. Further, with innovations like AI and robotics in medicine, why would we want socialized medicine to keep us in the 19th century, like the rest of the "developed nations"

We do need to ensure those who are in a bad way don't end up destitute. but otherwise, every time i hear a statement from ass hats that goes something like, every other country has great socialized medicine, i just hear them jealously trying to export that garbage here.

Here's a good listen.
