@TotemMacro@browsingatwork@RnaudBertrand What is the “substance” to you? His goal isn’t to stick it to the US wherever possible as a rule, it’s to reduce our dependence on them as much as possible without destroying the country in the process. Retaliating on energy is just not conducive to that right now.
@MolonLabe308@BigMastah79@TatumMarolado What Republicans were proposing in response to Obamacare was not not remotely analogous to a universal health insurance system, and certainly not one like Japan's. They are ideologically opposed to that.
@MolonLabe308@BigMastah79@TatumMarolado Republicans were moving towards a Japan-esque universal health insurance system? News to me, maybe they aren’t so bad!!
@MolonLabe308@BigMastah79@TatumMarolado Yes I believe that taxes funding public services is better than a stateless bartering society. The extent of those services we can debate, but if you don’t agree with taxation fundamentally than I don’t know what to say lol
@MolonLabe308@BigMastah79@TatumMarolado Obamacare increased costs because it was a policy duct taped onto America’s already private system. Actual universal healthcare demonstrably results in better patient outcomes and longer lifespans. This is something taxes should pay for.
@NUMBERS62675995@MarkJCarney brother, he is arguably is too invested in oil. not even the private sector has faith in new oil projects anymore. the pipeline plan in alberta is incredibly short-sighted, yet he wants to force it through.
