Old people live better today in countries with universal care for now, while the population and business are willing to pay over 50% in taxes to subsidize it. With it, as always, it has inflated the cost of health care high and beyond.

But that won't last much longer because governments have been already printing money to cover for their eternally growing deficit and declining tax revenue.

@wjmaggos @jeremiah
It does have several issues, specially long-term when you change into a knowledge/creative economy where slaves/underclass aren't easy or cheap to come by and the worse nightmare would be if the birth rates collapsed and you would need to bring in migrants to hold back the young population revolting or giving up.

I did skim it and, in summary:
It's China.

It works as long as you have this underclass (chinese men) that would keep working whatever jobs the CCP offers/allows them to do.

Also works while you have a permit system to separate the upper/lower class (Hukou) and assign them to designed areas determined by the CCP.

Plus, you need to have financial repression and capital controls, to avoid people from exchanging or simply leaving with their wealth to another country.

@wjmaggos @jeremiah
Then you should be against socialism/communism if you're against slavery.

It only works if you have forced labor because you need to mandate people to work in the required fields designated by the state since, in that system, they're not allowed to profit or choose their career of their own free will.

Capitalism has several problems but it lets the price system fluctuate and determine supply and demand to better allocate resources. The issue comes when you introduce force.

@wjmaggos @Zeb prior to "insurancization" and the massive growth of pharma in the 80s and 90s, we had a sane, efficient, private system that most people could interact with in cash.

When private personal insurance began rolling out in earnest in the 70s and 80s, initially, it offered private practices, on average, more than their usual fees, but usually required them to charge those fees of all patients... fees began to steadily rise across the board: The insurance essentially necessitated itself by distorting the private market.

Universal healthcare systems are not the solution. Around the world, including our neighbor to the north and our very special friend the UK, we can see universal healthcare systems are either a disaster or a timebomb without exception where the care is anywhere near parity with the US.

Additionally, universal healthcare systems are far more difficult to regulate (as any state bureaucracy is) and all but immune to change and efficient operation, somewhat a mirror of the baroque interface between care providers and multiple obnoxious state and private insurance systems here: often times an office has specialist staff just for billing (this additional labor is another distortion of the market and a guaranteed increase in prices.)

Reigning in insurance and pharma, not socialization, is the solution: return to what has been demonstrated to work very well here.

To do so is to reduce complexity, administrative overhead, and cost automatically.

If you tell polish jokes will you lose your job and bank accounts and be forced to go to the museum of polish suffering wearing a polish hat?

Conservatives are retarded and should be shot. They are the ones who started all the gay bullshit we have today.

The right frame for the US would be pre-civil war America, where states were independent and the federal government severely limited to a few enumerated powers.

That worked because each state could do whatever they wanted, as long as they paid for it themselves.

@wjmaggos
It's not about the services. It's about who does them.
You can have ambulances and universal health cares and all that. The question is always: who will do them? Supply X demand.

Universal heath care you need to force people to become doctors (since they are paid the same as a barista) and enslave them later so they don't escape - like Cuba does.

Why would anyone build roads or drive the entire day instead of streaming games?

Who would build the houses for house assistance?

@Zeb @wjmaggos @wallabag i think it would be interesting to let all the socialists go be socialist somewhere without anyone else's participation and see how it works out.

We could have TV shows like, "Losing Weight the Red Way" and a show about Communist nutrition where you learn to make bread from sawdust and soaking the glue from wallpaper. Gameshows like Prizes for Kulaks could be fun, too!

I suspect it would fail no matter what, but without non-socialists, it will fail a lot faster, which would be a lot funnier to watch.

Well, I wish you two the best of luck but the fact he needs a scholarship to go to college makes the decision easier. Those aren't easy to come by, specially to men - even harder if he's white (which I assume he is since he plays tennis).

Trade school is good but I would recommend he doesn't stop there: doing robotics, engineering or advanced electronics would complement it very well. Nuclear science and biotech will be big in the next years too.

@wjmaggos
No. Just a socialist/communist government, which requires slavery to function.

@maxburn @cbrooklyn112
Trade school is good but the location where you set up influence your success a lot.
To go pro in tennis you have to start early...really early, like 5, latest 8 years old. He might be too old already.

@wjmaggos
Me too! I would love to live in a socialist country were I can have a few slaves.

I would have a bodyguard driver that has good build and a state-issued car, a cook who has good teeth and hygiene, plus at least 3 different sex slave concubines, that I would keep separate so they don't get their periods at the same time of the month.

What's the state policy on flogging your slaves? I would like to punish them when I'm in a bad mood. Man...slavery is awesome.

@maxburn
Good rule of thumb for best colleges/professions: male dominated fields that are difficult to do, involving lots of math, abstract thinking (creativity) and good experience with real world applications.

Not many colleges offering those since you need competent teachers.

@Bernard
Probably. I'm extremely disappointed the jew taco cucked so much, he didn't install the draft and simply surrendered to Iran, doubling down on the gay retardation.

UK women deserve to be raped. They voted for it.

@debra391
It's a woman. It doesn't matter that she's using a Muslim cosplay...at all.

@Bernard
Why bother? He needs a draft if he wants to use any of that shit one day.

@wjmaggos @wallabag
Slavery. Only by bringing back slavery can socialism work.
