I liked the idea of "free college" and "free health care" It's not going to work in the US.

Only bc people refuse to try building towards it.

Why not? It’s worked in other countries?

Our politicians are bought and paid for, plenty of ppl that go into healthcare legitimately care about helping ppl, all we have to do is collect them together to build a parallel horizontally integrated system at scale to provide much lower cost or free healthcare. My mosque runs a free medical clinic open to all from any background, I’m pretty sure some other religious groups do programs like it too. If it can work at the clinic level it can work at an industrial one, ppl would just need to

ppl are too selfish and money hungry here. the rich don’t want to help the poor. they just want to help the other rich or themselves to more money

Agree to make less profit along the horizontally integrated supply chains. We’d also need a lot of recurring donations from wealthy ppl for it to work, my mosque’s clinic pretty much only functions bc of that so it’s not like they all don’t care abt helping others, we’d just get the good ones to pool their donations into said specific healthcare system. I think if we organize smart, hard working, & well natured ppl towards this end we could achieve it—& bankrupt the competition as we do it

So.. it would be good for the government to use taxes and universal as a means to ensure that the poor get the healthcare they need? Since people are selfish ?

the rich are like that in every country. problem is the poor don’t want to help themselves either, they all think they’re temporarily embarrassed millionaires

if the rich were like that everywhere then i don’t think anyone would have free school and healthcare. realistically no one needs to be a billionaire

Fr the boot licking mindset is too severe im afraid. A “real man” wouldn’t work 50 hrs doing hard labor never seeing his kids a real man wouldn’t accept table scraps and would join a fucking union so he can be a present father AND a provider but they’ve convinced themselves that pain and punishment is manly

Other countries also have tax rates and more vacation days but it also comes at the trade off of lower pay across the board and in a lot of cases sub par medical care that it can take months to get in to be seen
