Is it disinformation to say there are people in the US that are bankrupted by healthcare costs? Is it disinformation to say there are people in the US that can’t afford insulin and other essential medicines?

Not much help to people who don’t have access to internet banking or are unable to use it.

Why is there only one reference to the police in this news item, and that from a BBC employee reporting crimes against himself? Why are the allegations not reported directly to the police?

So why is healthcare in Europe cheaper despite varying degrees of Government intervention ranging from tight control to full control? US medical care as good or better than any country in the world? Show me an example of US integrated medical provision running from family practitioner through hospital to long term health care supported by community doctors and nurses that comes anywhere near that available across. Europe and I might start to believe you. Come over and have a look for yourself, see if you can find anyone bankrupted by medical bills, or anyone unable to afford their insulin or other vital medication, such obscenities are not a thing over here. https://www.pgpf.org/blog/2022/07/how-does-the-us-healthcare-system-compare-to-other-countries

Non at all, other news sources are frequently posted.

Universal Health Care, it works and it’s cheaper.

It looks like Giuliani has decided to cooperate with the DoJ, and why not? I said at the start, what kind of dumb do you have to be to sign the evidence of your crime and then submit it to Government and do so on behalf of Donald Trump of all people?! Now the question is, who is Giuliani going to rat on? Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.

The ‘Space Karen’ objects to people he fired going to work for a competitor. Perhaps he should have engaged his reputed intellect before firing them and trolling them on their way out the door: https://deadline.com/2023/02/twitter-staffers-fired-over-weekend-owner-elon-musk-tweets-hope-you-have-a-good-sunday-1235273068/amp/

Nevertheless, a source of information many outside of Russia have chosen to rely on.

Let me once again give you a pointer to help you get back on topic. Refer top of thread: “Legacy admissions: Harvard accused of favouring mostly white students”

Getting you back on topic: Of the 31 million Americans aged between 18 and 24, just 68,000 are Ivy League schools undergraduates — about a fifth of a per cent. So 0.219% of all Americans get to Ivy League. 43% of Harvard’s annual intake are via ALDC, Athletics, Legacy, Dean’s List and Children of faculty staff. The athletics route is includes LaCross, Sailing and Rowing, fine sports but not open to all. Legacy, mummy or daddy went to Harvard, Dean’s list mummy or daddy wrote a fat cheque, Children of faculty staff, doesn’t include children of all other staff. 100%-43% = 57% therefore 57% of 0.219% is 0.125% of young Americans. Let’s pretend it’s a tiny number of Black and Hispanic students who benefit from affirmative action that is blocking access to the 99.875% of Americans who will never get their without privileged access via mummy and daddy. https://www.ft.com/content/955ab1bb-f3d6-48a6-bba4-3c59fa5e47bd?accessToken=zwAF_-BxAWfgkdOVWrG789ZIptO7pDxZ-l5HvQ.MEUCIFiNWqKz6Vszr0-P4VQwK9y-u_OixBfawydc3Ak0VhT_AiEAnthICCL0rZhuh8IZcTvrASYSiFPlDwkdwVMheGjswIA&sharetype=gift&token=a60cbcfd-e757-4622-8d0a-5c7f7f042dc5

I‘m neither an African or Hispanic American nor a person who feels he has the knowledge or experience to assert, as you do: “There is no reason that African Americans and Hispanics cannot emulate what recent immigrants do.” Your self-assured pontification on the matter is noted, if only for being consistent with your posting history,

Because they are recent immigrants. The fact recent immigrants, regardless of race, frequently outperform established citizens is well documented. Sorry if this upsets your perforative view of particular race groups and your long expressed views of immigrants to the US. https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/nurturing-resilience/201910/why-do-immigrants-outperform-native-born-americans?amp https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/immigrants-outperform-native-born-americans-two-key-measures-financial-success-n1020291

A bit like politicians making decisions on what medical procedures may or may not be performed.

The utterances of other politicians are not the topic of discussion.

Perhaps not without forethought. Oh and welcome to the Forum.

Was it even ‘Lost’?

I’m not a cocaine user so must ask. Do cocaine users usually leave their drugs lying around in places accessed by countless people to be easily found?

Call me when Biden brags he shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose support.

Trump’s hysterical innuendo sounds an awful lot like that accusation confession thing of his.

You need to be a bit more precise on who it is you are referring to.

He’ll get overruled at appeal.

I can think of a number of laws to get all outraged and affronted over, this isn’t one of them. Not by a very long way is this a law I have any problem with.

I confess, I gave a sigh of relief when my kids ignored being pointed at the Ivy League and chose instead to opt for Russel Group and LERU. Ivy League might give a young person a great head start, but it far too often comes at a ridiculously exorbitant cost to their parents.
