A post from user @AnnieForTruth, states: "I live in Sweden. We have social security, affordable healthcare, strict gun laws, 5 weeks paid annual leave and a year maternity leave. A stay at the hospital for one night costs about $10. Prescription drugs have an annual cap of $210. We are not communists. We are socio-democratic, and our freedoms are not inhibited."
We, too, could have nice things if we collectively demanded them.

This morning, @hcrichardson.bsky.social brings it was some of the best "his company was no angel" coverage of the Brian Thompson assassination, tied in to Elon but also some highly relevant history from the first Gilded Age heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/december-5...
