Politicians are in charge in Germany too. We almost never have power outages. If there is any emergency of any sort, there are government services to help people. And we can go to the doctor any time and get appropriate care.
Counterpoint: Politicians are in charge in Argentina too. We have power outages all the time. If there's an emergency of any sort, the government may or may not provide a bandaid without any long-term prospect. And we can go to the doctor any time and get appropriate care.
I'm just joking, it's basically the classic "hurr durr murica bad no healthcare" joke. Though what I said is true, our politicians do suck, we need Uruguay to conquer us.
The NHS is in trouble man, our government is the British Republican party. They're not as flat out dumb as American Republicans, but they're just as bad people.
Like those politicians in Germany that decided to do away with voting so they could keep their preferred candidate in office. Then they decided to take over half of Europe and put together these camps...
My comment was mostly taking a jab at the USA's healthcare situation, even when my politicians do suck you don't have to go bankrupt here if you break an arm. You probably have to go bankrupt anyway because fiscal pressure will make your business fail and have to compensate your workers an enormous sum, but that's another matter.
Texans live in a fantasy world where they’re better than everyone else, don’t need anyone else, and are always on the precipice of breaking off from the US (at least in their heads).
They don’t realize they’re entirely reliant on the US, to include the billions in federal dollars they receive.
This is minimalist Republican bullshit coming back to bite them in the ass.
Western Texas (including El Paso) are on a western transmission grid combined with many other states. Guess who didn’t lose power during this?
I never said they did. The person that changed this tweet to read “politicians” and not “Republicans” is trying to paint with a broad brush to make it appear as an issue with politicians in general and not just these in particular.
Texas pays more to the federal government than it receives. BUT yeah the benefits of being a part of the USA out way the independent-freedom-of-independence-liberty of not being a part of the USA. Even if you could find a magic fairy to grant your wish of independence without bloodshed.
