Wot
Let's rerelease the producers today
see what happens aye
The thing quite a few folks miss is that Mel Brooks is Jewish
or at least his parents were, I forget if the man himself is
By race, definitely
but I dunno if he was practicing or not
I forget who all was in that voice chat when I was showing off all the fasces used in American federal architecture
Someone was absolutely blown away by how hiding-in-plain-sight a lot of them were
and wanted to know if any of them were installed post-WWII
according to @stillgray indie game dev Chloe Sagal, who blames Wu for ruining her life, has set herself on fire in public and died in hospital
To that person, I have an answer now
Dunno who she was, or what the situation was with her and Wu, but RIP
OH, I remember now!
@meratrix Remember several days ago in Voice Chat when I went on a spree of showing fasces in US architecture, and you wanted to know if any of them were installed post-WWII?
I doubt lolcow wiki is super reliable
but according to it, Sagal developed *Homesick* from scratch, but was a manipulator and paranoid and all sorts of nuts
Oh well. Setting oneself on fire is a shit way to go, though, so Ripperoni
Social security alone is larger than the military budget
Wot
Then why is it doing jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack shit
The mandatory spending portion of the US budget alone is either about to be or already is larger than US federal income, at least as of a few years ago
Then why is America's healthcare ranked one of the worst
Because it's ranked by fucking socialists
Becuase it uses a stupid hybrid system
Additionally, healthcare in general is either a privatized or state-by-state system, aside from the abortion that is Obamacare and its replacement attempts
It would take some serious chaos for y'all to impliment what Canada has but at least what we have usually works and keeps us not-broke
That privatization is why the US excels at innovation in that field
Most of my regular perscriptions and checkups are free
even when I had a cyst removed a few years back I was covered for the lion's share of it
Hormonal anticonception was developed in Europe
Folks from Canada come down here for shorter wait times and, in more extremen cases, rarer/more experimental treatments
That's true.
So there is innovation in Europe
From my family doctor saying "yeah that's a cyst, sorry man" cause it was in a spot that made walking and sitting pretty fucking annoying, to getting it removed, was almost a year
But it was almost free
