    I genuinely think that in some third world countries, as part of the middle class, you can have a better life than in the USA.

    Yeah, just dismantle the state and give it to private companies… What could go wrong?

    If you talk about killing the few people like these that are the root cause of all these problems, you’re a terrorist. You go to jail

    These people actually kill people by the thousands, millions, and we call them smart CEO’s and celebrate them 🥂

      There is plenty of propaganda on social media to exalt the billionaires and CEOs. Instagram is especially really bad at it. I don’t know why the algorithm suggest heavily to me about “entrepreneur” pages (maybe my investing platform sold my data), although some of these pages whitewash literal fraudulent and underhanded behaviours from celebrity CEOs and fraudsters, spinning their past behaviours as “another way to get rich”. I also think the posts and profiles were written by bots, because the language and syntax used sound almost identical from one another, in spite of these profiles supposedly being independent from one another.

    Meanwhile, 10 euros per vial here in Europe. At least his original plan for widespread and easy availability has partially succeeded.

    California is contracting its own insulin supply and it’ll be available for $11 a pen starting Jan 1, 2026. I know not every state can or are willing to do this but just throwing out some examples and hopefully optimism to somehow fight the American decline from within it. We’re in a unique position as our state economy is larger than most countries but I am hopeful we will throw our weight around to counter the bs. https://www.chhs.ca.gov/blog/2025/10/17/governor-newsom-announces-affordable-calrx-insulin-11-a-pen-will-soon-be-available-for-purchase/

      I would literally move if I could afford it and if it was even a little easier.

      Stockholm syndrome suggests we enjoy it or want to be here.
