  • I agree, but pretending that doesnt happen in a literal warzone isnt realistic. Get the fuck away!

    If a literal war broke out a couple neighborhoods from you, would you stay because all your shit was there, and keep your family with you, or take off and worry about the rest later, because anything is literally better and safer than being there? Common fucking sense. Somebody living in Gaza 1000% knew what was coming, that area has been fucked since before they were born.




  • I would NEVER willingly use govt healthcare if I had a choice, the US has ALWAYS had govt healthcare which has let our veterans down for decades, and poor and low income people alwmost as long.

    On school vouchers, I’m 100% for having a choice of where (my) money gets spent on my kids education. Im fortunate to have a great public school system where I am, but that wasn’t the case for me growing up, shithole inner city schools that failed us all. A voucher system then could have put me in a better school of my parents choice, which existed 3mi from mine, and I would have been assigned there, if I literally lived on the other side of my street.

    Our local govts dont want vouchers, because it takes from the teachers unions, which dont like being held accountable for doing thier jobs.


  • Access to healthcare up there is hardly an unknown thing, very literally the first thing that came up in a Google.

    A comprehensive new cross-border study of Canadians and Americans from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds those north of the border dealing with considerably more difficulty in accessing care. This is the first in a three-part series canvassing opinion on access to, quality of, and policy towards health care in Canada.

    It finds that over the last six months, two-in-five Canadians (41%) – approximately 12.8 million adults – say they either had a difficult time accessing or were totally unable to access one of five key health services: non-emergency care, emergency care, surgery, diagnostic testing, and specialist appointments.

    Americans are much less likely to say they encountered barriers to accessing those services, despite near-identical levels of the population seeking this type of care – 70 per cent in the United States and 74 per cent in Canada.

    Asked how confident they feel that they could access urgent care in a timely fashion if a household emergency arises, 37 per cent of Canadians are confident while 61 per cent are not. In the United States, 70 per cent are confident, while one-quarter (25%) are not.

    The healthcare access has been reported on a bazillion times, documentaries made, their own stats used against the Universal healthcare crying that some in the US want, etc.




  • They did, but went from being welcoming to the normal type of toxic users, they went the other way to become politically motivated gatekeepers, called everything that didn’t line up with their political narrative “misinformation”, and banned any and all the had any type of different opinion. While 100% being OK with people regardless of how toxic they were, as long as anything they said lined up with what they were OK with. Hardly a good situation.
