40-60k deaths every year are avoided in those countries who have single-payer. Unlike in the U.S. People do not die because they don’t have healthcare.
You mean massive tax breaks and subsidies along with protection of markets for them by the politicians they’ve bought off. So much for competition. It is the last thing they want. That is why they buy politicians and government agencies to avoid pesky competition. You live in a fantasy world.
Is that why life expectancy in the U.S. is declining?
Yes, which is why they ought to be in charge of healthcare. People would be so much better off as health would take precedence over profit. Capitalism is stifling the healthcare system in the U.S.
So we can provoke as much as we want and bear no responsibility. What an immoral POS. When Indonesia committed genocide in East Timor with many U.S. weapons the Carter Admin. pumped up the sale of arms to Indonesia as they were running out. The Carter Admin. knew what was going on. I assume you’re okay with this.
Being 2 generations removed from a reservation this is the most academically dishonest bullshit.
What we see here is a prime example of what is called “presentism” . Presentism is when historical accounts are judged by the standards of the present. Most scholars will agree that it is a rather ignorant way to look at the past.
So let’s instead look at what was acceptable, and encouraged during the time of colonial America. Throughout much of history (including the 1600’s) it was normal for a conquering army to claim the lands of their defeated foe. This is a practice that goes back into antiquity with the Persian, Greeks Romans, Egyptian, Israelis, Chinese and many other cultures taking part.
Taking land by conquest was also a part of Native American culture. Creek Indians conquered land from Choctaws and Chickasaws and the Creeks. Comanches came in and took the land from the Apaches by war, Aztecs, Incas and Mayans all grew their empires by conquering lands from other tribes. The Tainos and Canib tribes fought over land. When Spain Defeated the Aztec empire, the did so with an army of 1,000 Spanish soldiers and 75,000 soldiers from the Tlaxcallans, Choulatecs and Totonac tribes.
The practice of claiming the land of conquered enemies extended well past the colonization of America. It wasn’t until the conclusion of World War II in 1945 that western culture shunned the practice (and even then, the Soviet Union claimed Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria, and many other territories as part of their victory spoils).
To claim “white Europeans” or capitalists “stole” America from the native tribes is to force the cultural norms of the past 50 years (that white Europeans created) on events that happened hundreds of years earlier. That is just ignorant.
According to you, they’re the dudes you’re mad at for killing millions of people in other countries and also the dudes in bed with corporations protecting their profits above all else and your solution is to give them control of healthcare?
i see, so pivot when you can’t answer. So impressive.
NATO was not supposed to expand according to the agreement reached. But like the treaties with Native Americans they were broken, almost before the ink dried. The U.S. is notorious for breaking agreements.
Ukraine is right on the border of Russia. What did JFK do when rockets were being installed in Cuba? How do you think the U.S. would respond if China or Russian agent countries were on the border in Mexico or Canada?
