    The problem is money (always money!), who is paying for the pensions of the old people? Workers, hospitals? Workers etc etc, if the ratio of workers and non-workers isn’t 1:1 or higher then there is an escalation of problems

    Maybe it’s not a problems in countries like USA were the goverment is more than happy to let people die on the streets and there isn’t taxes for public sanity and pensions

      I told everyone to miss me with that infrastructure bullshit. 1:1? More like 1:100.

      Did you know that if SpaceX receives a pending government contract he could be on track to become the world’s first official Trillionaire? We got money for that but not meals on wheels? USA was at one point one of the better examples of welfare, actually. Very few nations on earth have the same track record of citizens being fed consistently and be guaranteed social security and medical coverage, though lately they’re falling behind Europe.

        Not everyone talks about USA.

        Also USA fucking sucks, there aren’t even public hospitals, i have a bunch of friends from USA and not a single one of them lives well in there.
