A possible reason America’s military spending per capita is so high is because their military personnel get free healthcare, and the cost of providing said healthcare is included in the bill.

Elsewhere where there’s universal healthcare, health expenditures aren’t included in military spending.

Thoughts?

[u/UncleSlacky → u/BuffaloExotic]

I'm pretty sure they don't pay the prices quoted for people with insurance, though. Having said that, many people call the US military a giant social(ist) project.

[u/cassandra-isnt-here → u/UncleSlacky]

I don’t understand what you are saying here. In America your health insurance is tied to your job so if you work for the US military your healthcare is on their plan.

[u/UncleSlacky → u/cassandra-isnt-here]

I expect that the actual prices paid by the military are probably far less than those paid by the average private citizen with standard insurance.

[u/cassandra-isnt-here → u/UncleSlacky]

Ah yes. Now I understand. That makes sense.

The idiot pedo President in Washington wants to put this train station under federal control due to crime and lack of cleanliness.

Well, where the fuck do you see that?

I did my driving test in Walpole, MA this Saturday. It was a joke compared to the test I did in the UK back in 2018.

For starters, my MA test lasted less than 5 minutes and I didn’t even drive for a mile. On the other hand, my UK test lasted 40 minutes and I drove 8 miles.

I met my examiner at the Italian-American Club of Walpole (that name in itself is SAS). Did a blind spot check, turned right out of the car park, made a right turn into a quiet residential street, pulled up on the right, reversed 3 car lengths, made a 3-point turn, turned left out of the street, back into the Italian-American Club, parallel park the car between cones, and I passed!

[u/BuffaloExotic → u/BuffaloExotic]

My test route was 0.8 miles (1.3 km) long!

Even if she talks a lot of sense, she’s still LHF…?

She’s basically saying shame on those complicit in the Epstein scandal

> Even if she talks a lot of sense, she’s still LHF…?

Yes.
