Almost every developed country except ours has universal healthcare. Almost every developed country except ours has some form of free college. How is it possible that Americans have been trained to expect so little?

Americans can only imagine a place, a modern society where ✅ Everyone has the dignity of a living wage and decent retirement ✅ Everyone has better healthcare for much less than we pay ✅ Everyone is given the opportunity of a higher education
Denmark's largest Party are the Social Democrats Denmark's society is centered on social programs, like ✅ Universal Healthcare ✅ Universal Higher Education Happiest countries: 1. Finland 🇫🇮 2. Denmark 🇩🇰 3. Norway 🇳🇴 4. Iceland 🇮🇸 5. Netherlands 🇳🇱

They have been trained that suffering is the American Way. How else can the oligarchs get you to work 30 days of mandatory overtime.

The war machine, they want to fund imperialism and they want our kids to go without college or healthcare so they can offer it as a military benefit

Because the function of the larger part of the population is that it exists only to produce wealth for the upper 1%. The Founding Fathers would not find this an offensive consequence of their labors.

I literally lost my health insurance because I didn’t work enough hours to qualify during the pandemic lockdown. And even when I had insurance and I had Covid, my insurance company blocked an inhaler my doctor had prescribed without explanation or warning. Ridiculous.

Almost every developed country except ours also doesn’t call it “college”.

It's simple. They call it socialism & communism. Anything that helps th people is "bad" & everything that helps th already wealthy is "good". Never knew I lived in a communist country till now. So it follows that every single western civilization country is communist. Who knew?
