But reality has the response covered:

Many European countries has a max wait time of 90 days for non-emergency elective surgery. If the wait is longer than that at a public hospital, the patient can choose to have the surgery done at a private hospital if there’s room at no additional cost. Emergencies are always treated immediately, of course. You can also choose to have a private top-up health insurance plan if you wish to always be treated at private hospitals.

But, assuming that this is in the US, one of the major parties relies on keeping people uneducated, so they don’t want people to pursue higher education. And certainly do not support cancelling student debt.

My thought is that you should find a different class with a different teacher.

Dude, the US based social media platforms are no better than TikTok. Its all rotten to the core. X is a great example of this.

I guess you just live in a very different world than me. I would never let my parents dictate my life like that. They either accept me for who I am or they don’t get to be part of my life. I would also never try to dictate life for my own kids like that when they are adult human beings.

I’m not sure why you let your parents be the deciding factor in whether you have kids or not? It’s not up to them.

Because whatever happens on the national level affects what happens on the state level.

They all affect each other even when the electoral count make them seemingly unimportant.

They do, because no state exists in a vacuum.

Isn’t this just a variation of the usual “if x candidate wins, I’m moving to Canada” rhetoric? All talk, no walk?

Between shipping manufacturing jobs elsewhere, and allowing in immigrants who do menial work, people at the low end of the economy are pretty pinched for work.

Isn’t the unemployment rate close to record low? I mean, a lot of people work 2 and more full-time jobs to make ends meet, but that seems like a different issue.

We’re headed to Europe. Aiming for early next year.

I’m just going take my family and leave the country. I know that’s not an option for everyone, but it is for us, so we’re choosing that option.

Then you have to be willing to do economics like in Europe and redistribute (the GDP) wealth to basically make everyone middle-class. But Americans are also unwilling to do that. That’s “socialism” or “communism” or whatever label conservatives like to add to it. The US may have a somewhat higher GDP than many European countries, but most Europeans feel much more financially secure than most Americans.

Which is exactly my point. Many Americans don’t feel like the economy is better in their own lives. But, overall, from a macroeconomic perspective, the economy is doing great.

If you look at the average salary, it has kept up or exceeded inflation, but it has taken some time to catch up. But again, it’s the sentiment. If people feel poorer, they are poorer, even if they are not actually poorer.

The economy is actually great. Most people just don’t have the brains to understand why when they feel like it isn’t. Sentiment is king.

Apparently, the majority of Americans believe they won back their country yesterday. Looks like Trump is going to win the popular vote. That’s where we are.

FREEDOM!!!

Yes, definitely give everyone treats. Not everyone has the opportunity to dress up for various reasons.
