is it because single payer is conflated with universal

i don't get the American progressive fixation with single-payer. why would you want to have the UK or Italy's healthcare system when you could have Germany's

Violenze sugli operatori sanitari: una piaga che segna +38% in 5 anni a causa delle carenze di personale Dall’ 1 al 31 di agosto non c’è stato un solo giorno in cui un medico o un infermiere, nell’80% dei casi una donna, abbia subito una violenza fisica, nella maggior parte dei casi

btw, the US isn't the only country that has been experiencing violence induced by dissatisfaction with healthcare. this is Italy with a single-payer system:

also visually and thematically reinforces Andy being the outsider

I'd keep Anne Hathaway I think. Miranda being a cunty muppet sounds funnier

The capitalism understander has logged on. Everyone knows Smith thought it was not the benevolence of the butcher nor self interest but rather an idealogical commitment to having more customers that we depend on for dinner.

it did reinforce my thesis that there's actually no "misinformation/fake news crisis". people get expose to high quality factually correct information like Joey provides all the time, they dismiss it bc it doesn't align with their pre-established beliefs

I made the terrible mistake of checking the comment section

How has the risk of dying from cancer changed in the United States? To understand this, we can look at national cancer death rates in the United States. The gray line shows the crude rate, which is the rate of deaths from cancer per 100,000 people. It has risen between 1950 and 1990 and has fallen slightly since then. However, cancer death rates rise sharply with age, and the age of the US population has increased since 1950, so we would expect cancer death rates to rise for that reason alone. What if we adjust for the increased age of the US population? The red line, the age-standardized rate, shows this. It shows the cancer death rate if the age structure of the US population was held constant throughout. This shows a slight rise until 1990 and then a significant decline; rates have fallen by one-third. This means Americans are now one-third less likely to die from cancer at the same ages as Americans in 1990. This comes from several factors: better screening and earlier diagnosis, medical advances in cancer treatments, and public health efforts to reduce risk factors like smoking and exposure to carcinogens.

Where Georgia Stands Much More Than You Wanted to Know about Georgia

If anyone is curious in a more comprehensive overview of what's going on in Georgia and how we got to where we are, you can read the below post. Just wrote it up because there's not much else I am capable of thinking about:
