Oh yea, I’d also love for health insurance to become a right. But hell nah for the full socialist things. Take the good things about it and keep most of our market a capitalist one. Almost like half the European countries basically.

Did you ask to be born? Or did you just start existing at some point?
At what point did living a decent life become something you had to work for, when you did not choose to live in the first place?
That’s a messed up mentality to have mate.
If they can’t afford college?
Or if they don’t have the means and guidance on knowing what to pursue?
I didn’t on both aspects.
Now I am fine, but no one should have go through such a thing. Just as we made vaccines so that no child would ever have to risk dying to polio or smallpox to gain “immunity”.
Then you don’t get to have anyone make food for you, because you aren’t putting in what you feel you deserve out of it.
You realize that by your logic, you shouldn’t have a right to a big mac, right?

I’d rather have a robot for a doctor too. And I guess they do the same thing people have always done - find something else to do. We aren’t living in the stone age anymore and yet people still haven’t run out of jobs despite all of the things that no longer require a human to do them.
Trade skills pretty decent money 
Union electricians (IBEW) make $45/hr where I live which is great pay considering it’s not too expensive.

Is there any kind of list of companies out there where the CEO distributes wealth among their employees a little more generously?
Would be nice to know, in order to support business practices like that. Unfortunately, arguing and signaling on a videogame message board isn’t as effective.

Yep, working on getting my Electro-mechanic technician cards (basically fix/maintain machinery in shops). Guaranteed $25/hour from the start.
I am not sure, I google stuff and get a list of companies that do a fair wage.
It takes a bit more digging to find those companies to be sure.
I think its primarily because people don’t realize how much money you can make from trades. I know I didn’t or I’d have been an electrician, or an HVAC.
Then again i really enjoy working medical.
So in the end it worked out for me, even if it is a sad job.

Do you even read what you type? You said that the United States tries to install puppet governments in Latin America and I asked for your evidence in recent history (the burden of proof is on you to provide which you have failed to do so). I told you that Juan Guido won the most recent election yet Maduro refuses to concede (as reported by all major new networks around the world).
Instead you make pathetic statements like “Reich Wing Capitalist shilling for a broken system” (all the while you actively support socialism and possibly even communism). Seriously you are beyond self righteous. You are just politically, economically and morally bankrupt. Pathetic excuse for a human being you are.
Where exactly do you draw the line? Healthcare? Those EU countries you’re talking about guarantee far more than healthcare.

Canada’s a good example. We got basic healthcare (even though that means waiting 7-8 hours before seeing a doctor sometimes because one of the major downside of this is the fact that free means people rushing at the doctor anytime they got a cold), but if you want anything more, work it.
Absolutely agree. I wish i made the move earlier, i did failed attempts at going to college and such a few time while supporting myself and if i had figured out Trades were actually worth pursuing, i’d be much better off now, instead of spending my 20s working in various restaurants.
7-8 hours waiting for a doctor? Yeah right. You are literally waiting months to get operations in Canada that you can get within a week max in the United States. Sorry the Canadian medical system is not that great.
Not a single reputable news organization has said that Guido won the election. Every single one literally says Maduro won the election, with there being CLAIMS of rigging in the election. What’s even more hilarious is that you talk about the rigging of the Venezuelan election while completely disregarding the rigging in Brazil and the coup by right wingers in Bolivia, also backed by the U.S.

I know it sounds strange, but trades have great upward mobility - provided you don’t get sucked in with the losers and bad attitudes

Really not sure how some people in this thread are saying it’s capitalism’s fault the workers are underpaid, get a new job, don’t stay.
No… They aren’t…
They’re underpaid, relative to the desirability of the job.
And before you go off whining about how well some of those professions are compensated… remember that the free market works BOTH ways, not just top down… If the businesses wanted increase the supply of labor, they’d be making said labor more attractive via actually increasing wages…
You see this overwhelmingly in lower end of tech jobs in America, where employers constantly bemoan the lack of qualified americans to do IT, but then try and offer $10-15/hour for a $20+ skill level job that no one who isn’t a complete moron, or a foreign worker/wageslave would accept.

Oh yeah i just meant to see a generalist. I know more serious stuff literally takes months. My point was by no means a defense of our system but IF people really want to go the free healthcare route, its the best its going to get.
Yeah just get a new job, in an industry where everyone is famously underpaid and you’ll probably have to uproot your whole life to move across the country. It’s just that easy, guys.

Not to mention california is the most expensive place in the US to live
My husband was offered a job just recently in San Diego and he declined it. We would have had to pay atleast twice as much for a home comparable to what we have now

Exactly thats the issue I went through.
You…do realize you only wait months for operations that are considered non-urgent in order to give priority for CABG surgies right?
So…if someone needs surgery to remove a fat deposit, they can wait a few months.
You only wait 7 to 8 hours if its for a minor case, but they have a triage system as well for emergent cases.
This is also done in the U.S.
We put people on surgery wait lists all the time.
You know…where you wait months to see a doctor for a check up or schedule a day ahead to see the doctor for your could?
