This should be no.1!

Yeah people don’t deserve to die because rich people want more money

"But I don't wanna pay for other people!" - then you don't get to retire ^-^

He preditced SVB crisis?

I have no problem when people are successful, the problem I have is when they refuse to acknowledge they did not get there alone. Demanding old age insurance and pension is a drain on them when they are only taxed on the 1st 160k of income(USA). You had a LOT of help...show it!

I'm French. Last month, I've seen my doctor 2 times for asthma and a genetic disease, got an x-ray and a irm, 10 different meds. Two of my kids got the flu. Our medical bill : 0€.

Blame the Republicans who shout Socialism every time the government trys to tax them on their ill-gotten wealth to provide for the Common Good, as stated in the Constitution.

Be careful about red wine, recent studies showed that the alcohol ruins every positive effect, so it's not healthy at all, even a glass from time to time. Alcohol increases the risk of comorbidities like cancer, liver diseases, cardiovascular events, neurological diseases, etc. The risk is proportional to the amount taken and is potentiated by tobacco.

I can hear a red state voter right now, "BUT SOCIALISM!"

Hey! We have a lot of nuts in the US too!

F**k. American. Insurance!!!

THIS!! I finally have some form of health insurance from an employer after not having any since I was too old for my mom's. I went in just for a check-up last year and I had to pay $300 and some change 😒 SMH

Same as Australia.

Or get fired from work.

Also Canadians. Same continent as Americans, roughly the same diet and lifestyle, yet we live two years longer on average.

I’m American. I pay $35 a week for full coverage (including dental and vision), for my entire family. Physicals are free, well baby check ups are free, eye exams and one pair of glasses per person every year are free, dental cleanings are free, prescriptions are mostly free-have never paid more than $10, co-pays are never more than $20-usually none, last hospital stay the bill was $46. No one is going bankrupt or losing their home over medical bills

I feel like more and more people becoming happy/happier increases my chance of being happy. That's my selfish reason for wanting most people to be happy.

Yeah, the ones we call heroes are being sent to suffer or die. Hero is NOT a desirable outcome in life.

You don't work to live, you live to work. And that's a stressful life to have.

Many people in Europe learn more than one language because they live in close proximity to another country. Sometimes two languages are spoken in the same country, like Belgium.

BUT stay away from the moronic MTG-types. Elect smart, capable people who possess true leadership qualities, grew up with working class parents, and who actually understand and are in touch with, REAL life.

So, the problem is the system or the people ?

That just goes to show...99% of employers really don't care no matter how many times they call you "family".

If a modern newspaper wrote about this, it would immediately be accused of being "woke" and "pushing agendas".

Great work! Way to blaze a trail.

Also, the US of that time was still capitalist. Much of Europe operates at the capitalist end of the cap-comm scale. The problem is *deregulated* capitalism. It's greed. It's failing to hold people to account. It's failing to be a society.

You can also help by shutting down for profit privately owned prisons. I mean it takes an Einstein to figure out where their self interest and dream of ever increasing profits leads?.....come on, get real.

WAIT DNA WHAT IN UR LOCKERS?

And have been since Reagan. That’s over FORTY f*****g years—-the entirety of my most productive young working adult life. Elon, you entitled, out of touch, f*****g arrogant little s**t, my heart’s just pumping purple p**s for you.

Great burn from a great game designer!

He was also going senile and let Nancy and an astrologer run the game

I've worked in restaurants in California, Nevada, and Florida. In those states, you have to pay $15 every few years for ServSafe certification to work with food. It's a stupid online course that "teaches" ridiculously common sense things about food safety. All of that money goes to the National Restaurant Association, who owns the program. They then use that money to lobby Congress AGAINST raising the tipped minimum wage or replacing tipping with profit-share incentives.

yeah this is the thing that probably pi**es people off the most, the same sanctimonious hypocrites that drone on about market forces and the evils of socialism are the FIRST to get a handout when their business has a quiet month.

This should be higher.

That's the kind of work people only notice when it is not done. Strikes are the only way to show it.

A sidenote; in The Netherlands there's short-term illness and long-term illness. Short-term is "I've got the flu so I'm calling in sick", during which most employers will pay you 100%. Most workplaces don't have official sick-days, but some do (often this is the result of the employer feeling that people are misusing the freedom of calling in sick at any moment). Long-term illness is an illness that will debilitate you to an extent that you can't do your job anymore, or maybe not to the fullest extent. Then you go see a company doctor, who will assess the trajectory for the coming period (therapy, part-time leave, whatever may be necessary to get you back on track). An employer is obligated to pay your salary for 2 years max, often 70% of your previous salary. There's also financial aid for which you can apply during this time.

That would be a few hundred to a few thousand dollars with insurance (depending on the plan and other issues you've had in same calendar year), or multiple thousands without insurance. Add in an ambulance ride or overnight stay, it's easily into tens of thousands and upward.

Need more drunk people than educated ones?

Absolutely especially about the weed 👏👏👏

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I am a recent cancer survivor and my husband was able to care for me due to leave time being donated into a pool. If he had to work, I would have needed to manage horrendous chemotherapy complications alone while caring for a 7 year old during the the early months of the pandemic. Ridiculous.

And someone has to say this even after the pandemic we witnessed?
