… because they did have it?
It wasn’t universal at the time, covering only the poorest workers, but Germany was the first country to establish a social health care system in 1883. It didn’t work very well during the war, but it was technically still there. Since the war, they gradually expanded it achieving universal coverage sometime in the 1980s.
I have questions.
What steps did they take? They didn’t take any steps.
Who’s hurting more? The gas prices in US has increased by 50%. I don’t see that anywhere else. This is partially because we already pay a lot more in fixed taxes, so the gas prices alone doesn’t cause the same kind of spikes. Of course we still pay more for it as usual, but the current increase of about 10% doesn’t hurt us as much as it hurts the Americans.
What green energy scams is he talking about? Green energy works. I wouldn’t call it a stable price, as it fluctuates like the wind, but on average I’m paying less for charging my car than I did last year, and I’m expecting the price to drop. It was always cheaper than gas per milage, still is and certainly will be even more so in the future. Big scam huh.
Trying to censor kids shows isn’t feasible. They’re going to find out anyway, or it will be a massive culture shock when they eventually hear their first swear word as adults. I’d rather take the opportunity to talk with my kids about it if they watch crap.
SpongeBob doesn’t really bother me, but if they watch Alvin and the Chipmunks I always ask them to use headphones, because I can’t stand that shit.
I don’t know about fishing, but I use a portable turntable to listen to records outside.
The power cable is USB, so it runs fine on a powerbank. The speakers are horrible, so I also bring a portable battery powered speaker.
It’s not really worth the hassle in comparison to just using a Bluetooth speaker, but it’s an excellent way to waste time on a long summers night.
Humour was very different when they first started. There was a turning point in the late 90s with Mandrilaftalen and stand-up in general.
Everything prior to that was just boomer humour with repeated punchlines.
I also can’t believe Tim & Gordon still have status as funny TV celebrities. They had one show 30 years ago where they told the same fucking jokes in every single episode.
But at least they weren’t as bad as Ørkenens Sønner. Even at the time they aired on TV, you would be able to find their entire joke catalogue on the joke page in the magazines that old ladies read at the hairdresser.
When will they ever learn that the only winners from war are the ones who make peace.
Starting a war is easy. Ending a war is difficult. Winning a war is impossible.
Plumbing is fairly safe from any kind of automation and also well paid.
They do use robots for pipe inspection and minor repairs, but that’s about the extend of what the clankers will ever be able to do.
Aready is. Their strategy is longer than four years so it just doesn’t seem so obvious, but they’re slowly and steadily gaining more control of the globe than any other country.
Why wait? You can go to Las Vegas today.
Try to zoom in more. The (3) near London is actually three different places far from London.
There’s obviously also many other dark places. This map only shows the designated dark places.

I just talked to a coworker who has friends out there who spent 7 days to get home being flown ping pong all over the region. It’s quite the chaos with lots of price gauging.
In a city of billionaires, 10 days of food is about enough for 1 days of food for one of them.
I know. I just find it hard to believe.
The largest and most expensive military on Earth shouldn’t be that incompetent.
Doesn’t change much does it?
Whenever I park my car, I usually check if there’s a bunch of innocent schools girls in the way first.
I’d like to think that bombs are thrown around a little more carefully than how I park my car.
Is there anything the rest of the world can do to help you with your orange fascist problem?
Because it seems to be in the way of solving a lot of the other issues.
Who’s volunteering for that role?
Money.
Money up front this time.
For people to demand anything you’ll need a democracy. For people to want universal healthcare they need to understand that socializing the health cost is a benefit for the population.
Add the words together and you get social democracy.
In most countries this is what lead to universal healthcare. In most countries the social democracy parties were founded by labour unions.
Despite USA being first with labour unions, they never really succeeded, because they were violently struck down early on.
Anyway, it’s that simple: Join a union, let the union establish a political party, let the party make universal healthcare. I know that seems very uphill, but it doesn’t actually have to take centuries to do.
When the first unions were formed in Europe, the workers also expected it to be a multigenerational battle, and yet decided to try it in the vague hope that it might eventually benefit their grandchildren. However they were so successful that they achieved the goal within their own lifetime.
