     @HistoPol @JustOneMoreThing ok so my response would never fit in my char limit here so I don't have a choice but to treat this as a Y/N question in which case I'd say yes I agree. But it's much much more complicated than that...

     Don't forget to mention public health and social insurrance!
     😉

     In 84 I stayed for some month in Detroit, MI.
     I will never forget the faces when I told in class that chancelor Bismark introduced public health care and social insurrance to FIGHT socialism!

     #DEHistory #Bismarck

     Here is a short summary and a link to an insightful article on the social reforms of the emperor 's #IronChancelor during the late 19th century:

     How different would life have been for millions of Americans if the #US government had instituted such social security systems during #Reconstruction...

     @HistoPol @coastgnu @JustOneMoreThing 💯 ...but they didn't. I tod my son no one's going back until the US becomes civilized. People shouldn't die cuz they're sick and can't pay. That's utter BS.

     So, I guess, you play this son to your son, when you talk about universal public healthcare in the US, right?

     Song : me, too.

     Ah, Vee, yes and no.
     You know, in a country where a Bernie Sanders is the extreme left...
     Compared to France an other EU countries...I have faith, but a lot of doubts.
     The societal fabric in the US is so much rooted in the "Gospel of Wealth" and the "American Dream."

     In a world of A, we need UBS and UBI...the US are lightyears away from this insight.

     As a brief reply to your valid question.

     ... you're not wrong... but ...idk... I'm always hopeful that minds/outlooks can change (especially since even under dRumpf Obamacare survived proving to all imbeciles that everyone needs it...) soooo 🤞
