Lol The US hardly has private healthcare. It's the most regulated industry second only to the financial industry. And the government uses it's control of currency and healthcare spending to dictate a lot of things we do in healthcare (I work in healthcare). We have to do all sorts of goofy shit because of government. On top of that, competition is stifled by things like Certificate of Need laws that prevent competitors from coming into a given region. This leads to very few providers being able to essentially do whatever they want. And insurance (financial industry, the most regulated) is pretty well controlled by government to the point that we can't really innovate there either.

Government shouldn't be involved in healthcare at all. Markets will handle it.

Canada, Soviet Union, China. Almost certainly everywhere the state gains too much power.

The state tends to be incompetent and corrupt. The private sector will prioritize profits in a fiat world. Neither is good and both result in fewer helped and more dead over time.

I thought it’s a common saying but seems like it’s not :D

Our parents always said, if you don’t eat your whole meal on the plate, we will have bad weather tomorrow. So you will eat your meal completely. 🥴😂

Every time government gets involved with Healthcare, things go from difficult to bad to deadly.

You can count on that.

Have you considered to not eat your plate completely so it will rain tomorrow? :DD

It's bizarre when people complain about politicians getting nothing done.

My life is almost always made worse when they do get something done.

The best case for most of us is a government so split that it doesn't do much of anything.

Funny enough, that's closer to what a legitimate government looks like. They should provide a military, courts, property protection and not much else.

We don't really need a lot of little dictators getting their way for that to exist.

My voting strategy lately is to vote with the intent of creating the largest roadblock for any politician to "get stuff done."

My whole floor is filled with tomato plants. I will have to throw them after people I know that garden. I finally separated the peppers. And picture 2 shows my second tomato round, still small. + this insane amount of sweet potato. :D

I tend to be early or late, I hope this year the Andean berries grow, but therefore I had to plant them in march. Let’s do that today 😵‍💫😂💚

How are your pepper plants doing?🌶️🫑 #gardening

I think it's asinine to demand women stay anon.

Plenty of guys on here have PfPs and are posting photos and nobody is like OMG THAT IS LITERALLY INSTAGRAM.

If it is to be run as stand-alone, litestream configuration is not required.

You can use the command line to write notes, if you import some Nostr libraries or install the CLI.

Thank you, I shared this based on the book I add to the comments.

I didn’t really spend my time on learning about game theory? Yet!

Maybe. I sometimes post notes from the command line, so same.

But most people need much more and we're both going to be amazed at how cool everything is, within a year.

The men's skinny bodies will be strengthened by an exoskeleton. This will allow to fight off women for a while, besides, melee combat is more of an exception, because men can easily control the sky thanks to neuro-implants and drones. Women, of course, can teach birds to carry explosives, so we must destroy all birds. Now solar panels and wind turbines are helping us with this task.

Most don't know, because they just don't have women in their lives to ask them.

Yes, that is a worry. I suspect Iran can see the growing weakness of the US and will try to flex its own muscles in the region, as it's already doing through proxies.

tarot book, not sure if you are into that

Food for thought from my book: "if we tasted our words, we would say less and eat more."
