Unfortunately, you've been programmed but refuse to see.
To you, everything "West" is evil, and everything anti-West is good?
A regime killed over 40 thousand of his own people is not evil?
Let an African dictator kill 4 thousand peopleyou'll be calling the West! SMH.
The spirit realm is real even though we cannot see nor touch it but it can and will dramatically change outcomes if you acknowledge it and set it to work.
@grok analyze the pros and cons of this post viz-a viz sustainability, and can it be reformed sensibly? Also, review how does this measure compare with healthcare in Singapore.
Hot take that will get me crucified in the UK 🇬🇧💀:
The NHS costs $255 billion a year. That’s more than the entire national budgets of Egypt, Bangladesh, and Pakistan combined - three countries running health, education, defence, and everything else for 550 million people - and they’re still $40 billion short of matching what Britain spends on “free” GP appointments and hip replacements for 65 million.
It’s not a health service. It’s a bureaucratic Godzilla in a hospital gown, devouring the economy one billion at a time.
The UK can’t tax its way out of this. You can squeeze the rich until they flee (they already are), hike taxes until no one bothers earning (getting there), and the beast will still be hungry next fiscal year, asking for another 5%.
The NHS isn’t free. It’s just invoiced to your grandchildren.
Break it up. Privatise it. Sell it off in pieces over 10 years. Use the proceeds to pay down the debt before it hits 200% of GDP and Britain becomes a museum of its former self.
“But healthcare is a right!” Sure. So is food … and Tesco seems to manage without a £200 billion state bureaucracy and an 18-month waiting list for a sandwich!
I, like most Americans, think that the average family and young person deserves a better shot at a decent life. I also think that socialism doesn’t work in real life, that America is good and filled with good people, and that it’s okay to work with people who don’t agree with me.
The USA has far more socialists and communists than people would like to believe. Especially amongst the youth.
If you send your child to university to study something in the 'Humanities', there is a good chance they'll become a communist.
They'll also have a lot of debt.
Despite preconceptions shaped by the media and expected failure by the US, many World Cup tourists are leaving with warmer views of the U.S.
Taste and see is the case.

On 14 June 1777, the flag of the United States was adopted through resolution by Congress. June 14 also marks the establishment of the Continental Army in 1775 when the Continental Congress authorized the enlistment of “expert riflemen” in defense of freedom. 🇺🇸
When I said this throughout my campaign, CNN people called me cruel and unhinged. Now, after they helped secure the election for the 2 dorks responsible for all these problems, CNN is now echoing my campaign talking points as gospel. Fascinating!
🤦🪖The AK-47 is not outdated or unreliable. Its legendary durability comes from loose tolerances that allow it to function in sand, mud, and extreme conditions where more "modern" rifles jam. If it were truly obsolete, the Pentagon wouldn't keep buying them. U.S. Special Forces have utilized the platform since Vietnam, preferring its reliability and distinct sound signature for clandestine operations.
Nor has Russia abandoned the design. They didn't "move past" the 47; they evolved it. The core operating system of the modern AK-12 is a refinement of the original 47's long-stroke gas piston, prized for its reliability. The rifle is also in service with dozens of militaries worldwide, from China and India to Iran and numerous African nations.
In the U.S., the AK is more popular now than ever among both civilians and elite units. They aren't relics; they are proven combat weapons.
The image of U.S. soldiers with AKs proves the weapon's value. They don't pose with junk for propaganda. They carry it because in a firefight, reliability isn't a preference it is a necessity.
Milton Friedman: “Everywhere and at all times, economic progress has meant far more to the poor than to the rich.”
“Wherever progress has been achieved, it has relieved the poor from back-breaking toil. It has also enabled them to enjoy the comforts and conveniences that had always been available to the rich.”
@nxt888 you seem to be obsessed with America and the American way of life, and all you can do is attack it piece by piece in the name of analysis!?
Your foreign influence is dead on arrival.
Project something else please!
The most telling thing about American political culture is what both parties agree on without discussing it.
Not healthcare. Not taxes. Not immigration.
The military budget.
Every year, regardless of which party controls Congress, regardless of the state of the economy, regardless of whether any war is being fought or won, the military budget grows.
No debate. No real scrutiny. No politician who wants a future in national office questions it fundamentally.
Five hundred billion. Six hundred billion. Eight hundred billion. Past a trillion.
For what? Against whom? Toward what strategic goal?
These questions are not asked in any serious way.
Because the military budget is not really a security policy.
It is a theology.
And you don't audit a theology.
You fund it.
And you thank God you live under its protection.
Ethiopia was never colonized.
For much of its history, it was one of the poorest countries on the continent.
Meanwhile, Vietnam was colonized by the French, devastated by decades of war, and is now on its way to serious economic prosperity.
If colonialism were the answer to why Africa is poor, Ethiopia should be rich and Vietnam should be broke. Neither is true.
Can we please retire this excuse?

@jon_d_doe Unfortunately you might not entirely agree with his submission or with his use of words but, this it is what it is.
This kind of mindset keeps you at the top of the food chain.
Bingo. This is precisely why I have explained that the engineering and business schools are less likely to be parasitized by dreadful ideas because reality serves as an auto-corrective feedback loop.
