What Universal Healthcare and Free Education Actually Mean
Nordic Countries
As we examine the meme here, we realize that, sadly, there are many reasons that the United States is not going in this direction.
We don’t really have a sense of society, and even if we did, we don’t care about inequality, or what happens here in the long run. If we’re surrounded by sick and uneducated people, that’s just too damn bad for them.
This is why “Build Back Better” is a losing proposition. “Better” means that we actually care about what life here is going to be like in 50 years, and today’s Americans have very little interest in the subject.

Here’s an ad for a telescoping flagpole (read: cheap, cheesy) on which you can announce to the neighbors your version of “patriotism” this Memorial Day.
America may not be unique in the world for its culture of rugged individualism, but it most certainly is for the role that guns play within its society.
At a vigil Wednesday for the victims of the massacre in Uvalde, Tex., a British journalist asked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) why mass shootings happen “only in America.” Apparently, he “stormed off.”
School shootings are unlike the need for climate change mitigation, universal healthcare, voter protection, and all the other slow-rolling tragedies. They are acute moments of extreme anguish, when our nation cries out to its leaders: DO SOMETHING!
It’s easy to fall into despair about this latest massacre of America’s school kids. Some people say that once we did nothing after Sandy Hook, we had resigned ourselves to accept the limitless murder of our children as a fair price for the right of deranged people to own assault weapons. 
Good news (I suppose) a new entrant into e-boating:
