@QasimRashid Fun fact, by the way - I did the analysis once and scaling only for the Swedish population if we adopted Swedish healthcare policies we would not only cut the deficit - the government would run a *surplus* of $15 billion in 2022.
If you want to do the math yourself, all numbers are for 2022. Sources are:

@_elena bad news: it ended up on explore. It was position #6 when I found it. Sorry.

@Gargron And just so we're clear, Jill Stein is not who to vote for. Jill Stein will not win. Even if you despise Harris, pinch your nose and vote for her, because if you vote Harris you'll be able to vote again in 2028, and on all the issues that matter her stance is closer to correct than Trump's. If you vote Trump you won't necessarily. If you vote Stein...well, in 2016, Russia meddled in favor of Stein, which should tell you enough to know not to vote for her (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/russians-launched-pro-jill-stein-social-media-blitz-help-trump-n951166).

@pavsmith @bontchev it's a bit weird looking at taylor lorenz' post on how bluesky is awful (as i write this at the top of 'explore' on mastodon.social) and then this.

@pavsmith @bontchev https://mastodon.social/@taylorlorenz/113339615131367067 for lorenz's post and also what the hell was that second sentence? genuinely confused.
