In Norway we pay for doctor’s visits and prescriptions up to $280 per year. After which it’s covered by the state. Some medications aren’t covered if the state has deemed them unnecessary or if it’s not their preferred treatment (so like they will cover oral contraception or IUDs but not nuvaring) but their decisions are based entirely on research papers and not profit. Also if you need a medication that isn’t covered you can apply to get it covered. If it doesn’t get covered, the price usually isn’t too terrible. My SO takes a medication that isn’t covered and it’s around $45 for about 10 days worth (we were warned about how expensive it was). Dentistry isn’t covered for adults so flights to Gdansk are very popular.

By ballot or bullet! Amaright 😉

True, although I would be surprised if for example Britain or the USA has as many political prisoners.

A monarchy is a dictatorship. It’s literally someone with absolute authority dictating how what happens in a country.

They’re still without toilets under capitalism.

Cuba is very much a surveillance state, otherwise I believe the main drawbacks are due to oppressive sanctions.

Has anything ever been ok in any of these countries? Russia has always been a totalitarian shit hole, same with China. Communism is just a part of their shitty history of oppression and dictators.

Not happily married, I hope.

Finally something even the left can get behind.

Shocker…

The cops have health insurance with United. I’m pretty sure they’re not going to get this guy.

Depends where in Europe. It is a bit bit arguably not as hard right as the states. You also have to consider that the cut off for left and right differ wildly between countries. AOC is pretty much center for Scandinavia. Joe Biden is center right… Which is why we’re so concerned about trump.

That’s true. They don’t call it terf island for nothing.

Your work should always include a qr code that leads to goatse.

I’d encourage LGBTQ folk to relocate to western and northern Europe. It ain’t perfect, but you’re very unlikely to get the shit kicked out of you.

The heritage Foundation has been putting the right people in the right places for a long fucking time. Trump is only a foot in the door. The fundamentalists and far right will probably whack him themselves once he’s elected. They are using his stupidity and cult following to gain power. If you don’t resist, it’s going to be a handmade’s tale type dystopia for you and a return to pan continental war for us.

I don’t envy your position tbh.

As a non American, trump winning will destabilise things in Europe way more than it will in America. The cunt’s said Russia can do what they want with NATO member states. It means all aid to Ukraine stops and Ukraine will lose because Putin has an endless supply of meat to take it if Ukraine can’t find the artillery shells. Russia will turn Ukraine’s now highly trained, well equipped, and battle hardened army against Poland. Major bloodbath! After enough primary school children have died on the frontline the Baltic states will be next, followed by Scandinavia.

Sure Europe will eventually stop them but at a massive cost. And that’s only if China doesn’t openly arm Russia or send troops. The only way to avoid it is if the US and Europe remain tight.

You’re just salty because you’ve realised you’re expendable. Don’t feel bad, I am too. But in reality for a community to survive, they really only need food and rudimentary medical services.

I’m talking about necessary for the species to carry on existing. And yes I grew up in a place with no police, no military, no EMTs, no firefighters. We had a nurse though. If someone did something that would normally involve the police, it was settled by the parties involved. (If you got drunk and drove through someone’s fence, they’d show you up at your house with a roll of barbed wire and some fence posts and you’d have to fix it. Possibly also round up any escaped sheep)

No, you’re correct.
