    I could be wrong, but it seems to me that decision-makers all over the planet are absolutely horrified at the idea of making any sweeping changes whatsover to health care system, whatever it is. Because they fear the very real possibility that they will cause masses of deaths due to complications during the transition and then that will be their legacy.

    If we take at face value that there exists a change that one can just simply make to the healthcare system, and then it will all be better, there’s still going to be some kind of transition.

    Cool that the generationally rich guy who supported anti-woke messages and Elon Musk amongst other things is Lemmy’s new hero. Perhaps there’s some weird sort of hope in the air, that actions speak more than one’s bank account or family, and more than whatever the fuck one does in social media.














  • What most non-crazy people seem to mean by “socialism” is liberalism with a strong social safety net and public services (e.g. Nordic countries, “Democratic socialists” like Bernie Sanders, etc), which is a separate thing altogether.

    Exactly, and specifically for this thread this is not quite the same socialism what Bashar al-Assad has been going for.
