  • Also because our health is already predisposed to being garbage compared to other countries thanks to our obesity crisis. Of course while that should be treated at the source like the UK is doing by e.g. not allowing junk food companies to advertize directly to kids, the healthcare system has a huge role to play in that too.

    Need physical therapy? Get fucked. Can’t exercise because of a chronic, unhealed injury? Fucked. Mental health disorder keeping you from being active and eating well? Mega fucked. Eating disorder? Fucked. Quality of life destroyed by treatable obesity complications? Fucked. Can’t afford a variety of healthy foods because you’re trapped in medical debt? Fucked. Need medical intervention for weight loss? Fucked. Have a GI disorder and need to see a dietitian to plan a diet? Fucked.

    Treating it at the source is absolutely crucial, but for people already caught in the whirlpool of obesity, privatized healthcare is categorically failing them.

    Not supporting ISIS

    Ah yes, I forgot that Syria outside of the SDF’s control is just Assad and ISIS and nobody else. Totally slipped my mind that it’s not pockets of ISIS control in the southeast opening up in the power vacuum created by Assad tripping over his own dick to rush troops back to Damascus; it’s that actually, all the miscellaneous rebel groups that are routing the wildly incompetent SAA are just ISIS acting as American proxies. That sure clears things up. Damn, I understand why tankies are coping so hard now; too bad Mr. Sarin Gas himself is going to be executed or (unlikely best case for him) in exile within a couple weeks then. :(
