Every decision around healthcare at the national level.
I found the American
You can tell by how they assume everyone is american
Not from the UK?
Or from France?

Maybe Belgium?
Not Germany?
Found the guy who thinks healthcare problems are unique to one country.
Were you referring the US healthcare system or not?
When I wrote that I specifically did not use US.
My turn.
Do you always act like a xenophobic ass?
Russia’s hybrid war with the West comes to mind. The invasion of Ukraine has turned out that way too, although it was intended to be a quick resource grab.
The “pied piper” strategy, where Democrats fund far-right candidates in Republican primaries in order to create a situation where they’re the only alternative to someone abhorrent, rather than actually offering the voters what they want.
Aka the reason we got Trump.
Literally every single US foreign military intervention ever. There are Americans starving on the street, apparently we cant afford to house or feed them yet apparently we can afford to bomb and murder abroad.

Thank you for this.
It’s so simple, dumb, and judging from the dopamine hit, exactly where my brain wanted to go.
Almost any argument against public transportation or better bike and walking infrastructure.
You can’t improve traffic by adding another lane. People who were using other means of transportation start to move over to cars, and then that lane fills up and you’re back where you started. This “induced demand” has been studied by traffic engineers for decades, and is very reliable.
You can improve traffic by offering viable alternatives to cars. Even if that means taking up a lane for bikes, buses, or rail. The induced demand effect works in reverse, too. People see they’re getting passed by the bus on their morning commute and make the obvious choice.
US Republicans
Right wing ideologies
Oh I have a few.
Cell phone software and hardware. They lick out people from making good devices and they lock out other operating systems. Cell phones in general engage in tons of monopoly like behavior, like proprietary platforms who’s only function is consumer lock in, and locking out people who they don’t like.
Car companies, notoriously lobby against free trade with other countries so they can sell terrible cars for higher prices.
ISPs often libby to make collectively owned or municipal internet illegal despite being far cheaper and far better and net neutrality in many cases as well as more privacy focused.
Consoles, they try to prevent people from installing Linux and mods and stuff so they can get people to keep buying mediocre games, called triple AAA games. These games don’t appeal to most PC users because there are actually many good games on the PC and mods, but on console you usually only have a handful of games that are fun to play in modded. Lots of action liteRPGs and multiplayer shooters and simpleton games on consoles. Easy to make, easy to play.
Political parties. Instead of actually improving they compete for corporate money and are backed by hypercapaitlist, corporatist media, and are almost 100% hostile to the voters at this point. Almost everything they pass is going to make our life worse and they only really act to protect corporations and expand the laws to boost corporate profits and screw over the workers.
Gestures broadly at American Coservatives.
Yeah. Don’t even know what to add to that. Maybe some boomer culture as well, how they had whatever issues that the modern generation doesn’t have and point that out as some kind of hardship while simultaneously being likely to have had the most stable career, technological, and economic progress of any generation in history.
The area i life in. That is the main goal of everyone exept a few. You can feel the hate, and mistrust and unwell wishes in the air.
Sounds quite unpleasant :(
What are some telltales of that happening?
I have no idea why that is happening. Everyone is just sabotaging, talking bad, spreading rumors and being so unfriendly to each other.
There was a case, while i was in hospital, that parents wanted to kick me from school because me and my autism according to the petition, is a threat to other students (note i was the bullying victim of the class) over half of the class’ parents signed. They claimed i was randomly attacking, stabbing, and kicking students down stairs!!
I’m so sorry that shit like that is still happening. As an (as-yet undiagnosed) autistic child, I was in the same boat. Bullies use their “strength in numbers” to have a gaggle of friends agree to lie against a lone victim, perhaps one who’s already known to struggle with emotional regulation. It’s nearly impossible to convince anyone of your innocence when other kids weaponize your weaknesses like that. Maybe you threw a chair against a wall in class one day, and now the school administrators are ready to believe that you’d escalate to actually attacking someone (even though you don’t have a history of hurting anyone. Just inanimate objects. Because believe it or not, some of us do have some degree of self-control.)
I’ve been there, and I know what absolute bullshit is possible for someone like us. I’m livid on your behalf.
“Driving is miserable and parking is hard to find, so let’s get rid of the bike lanes.”
America.
Conservatism, mostly.
It would save taxpayers money if the government would house the unhoused. In the long run, it would save the government money on healthcare and law enforcement. We would all be better off. But no, we can’t have that because of a belief that people shouldn’t have a safe place to sleep without earning it. I’m talking about in Canada but I’m sure it applies also in other countries.
