I’m Canadian I don’t even comprehend the difference between our (vs American) attitudes toward healthcare! Shouldn’t everyone have access to good affordable healthcare?

Americans tend to see well-being and flourishing as luxury goods that no one is entitled to.

Oh, I feel this. I'm German and the first time I heard/read that Americans without health insurance have to pay (and especially how much they have to pay) out their own pockets for, I don't know, having a heart attack and needing an ambulance, my brain went on strike for some time.

Hey, nothing wrong with working out in jeans. I hike in jeans, but I ALWAYS toss them in the wash as soon as I get home. And I very much appreciate modern science. RFK gives jeans a bad name. That’s all I am saying.

I have succumbed to a kind of defeatist emotional detachment from all the insanity that is The Age of a Cankled Presidency and its Syphilisized Policies. I await the upcoming elections, if they continue to exist.
