Canada is non-existent tbh. If we are talking about an American thread, who cares about Canada then.

I legit feel sorry for the majority of US citizens, the ones of the middle or lower class that actually need healthcare the most. They are totally getting screwed over by the people that can otherwise afford it anyways.

BTW, nice of Trump to admit Australia (Universal Health Care System) had a better health care system than the United States does.

 

 

Even kangaroo bites are covered. Crikey, that's great healthcare.

Because I'm such a suave individual, I subscribe to Esquire. This was informative for someone who is not that up to speed.

It's okay all news is actually fake since everyone stops delivering anything but a faction of the facts and takes everything out of enough context to just justify meaning. So really it's not like your going to get "real" news from anyone else.

What I have learned in the past 6 months-12 months, do not argue with a Trump supporter. They rarely know what they are talking about and often times they will believe anything he says. It's one of the disadvantage of that countries education system and one of the reasons I got out when I did. It really isn't an intelligent country.

Its also why US has been experiencing brain drain in the last decade. They used to be able to prop up their numbers of statistically "smarter" people by allowing immigration of smart students and people form other countries (just look at all the top business leaders in the states and see howmany of them are immigrants vs home grown). But within the last decade there has been more incentive for many of these "smart" people to stay at home like India or even China so the average value of their intelligence has been "lowered" from their artificial boost.

Jesus Christ, what a fucking mess in the White House this week. I just hope I can get in and out of the US next week before it implodes. Nixon 2.0

To be fair, plenty of us do just fine in our education system.  Part of the problem is that the most vocal people who "represent" the country in discussions, especially those online, are those people who didn't succeed under the system.  The other thing is that it's somewhat difficult to talk about the "American Education System" as an entity, since there's so much diversity in it as it changes not only from state to state, but also based on whether you're dealing with a private or public school.  

 

Try not to judge us all as morons due to a vocal minority...

Well I was referring to "average intelligence" so there are those smarter and dumber. I'm just saying it'll go down because in recent years and the current trend is that foreign born "smart" individuals have more reasons to stay home or not come to the US so the statistical data for the US "average intelligence" will drop solely due to the fact that its just regressing to its normal value if it can't stay propped up artificially with imported talent. Traditionally, US has been very strong in immigration of foreign talent with the H1B visa.

 

Though given the current education minister, I wouldn't be surprised if in subsequent years that homegrown educational data suffers as well though.

Fair enough.

 

And I can't believe that she actually got approved.  My only hope is that there's so much inertia that she can't actually institute any meaningful changes in the next 4 years.
