NHS isn't 'socialism'. It's intelligent cost benefit analysis. It costs less to not have to muddy professional healthcare with billing and insurance. It isn't decomposing, its just having a hard time being infinitely better than the US while costing less than a quarter as much. WE don't understand why Americans don't have a toll booth on every single mile of road and have it all owned privately. Its a goldmine waiting to be tapped.

History repeats. But I think the majority of the world’s economy (outside the US) is based on small businesses, not large ones. And small businesses, by their nature, cannot afford to ride roughshod over the needs of customers.

In fact, it's part of their plan.

There was a bit of whiplash when The Donald declared data centers to be a good thing. The local response was FOAD. https://missoulacountyvoice.com/bonner-data-center The proposal was an interesting example of the left and right uniting in opposition to a poor idea. The project would have brought few temporary local jobs since the physical structure was already there. When completed the permanent jobs would be a few IT people and rent-a-cops.

Never had any abnormal poop. I have been on Zepbound for 2 years, and never had any of the terrible side effects that some people report. But sadly also never had much of the desired effect. Minimal weight loss. But I am afraid to stop, in case I then have a big weight gain. -- Lars Poulsen - an old geek in Santa Barbara, California

Beer and wine are now special treats. I don't drink every night,m but I
generally drink once a week. And pay the price in mental sogginess the
next day. Liver and kidneys are not what they were
