No, they socialize the risk of becoming ill.

Are privatised health insurances in the USA shit right now?

Sure.

But as a European with nationalised healthcare let me tell you: we also have (heavily regulated) health insurances.

The alternatives is: every health problem is a potential cause of financial ruin.

Extreme politicians having more leverage, in situations where the lead of the majoritiy party is very thin, is actually very common in most democracies.

The specific stupidity of the American democracy is the „winner takes it all“ rule which leads to a two party system.

It’s a scientific fact, that light inside your car will impair your vision, when it’s dark outside, even if you feel it doesn’t.

Look outside your window in your room at night and then shut off your lights.

It’s a stark contrast.

For All Mankind, Severance, Silo, Slow Horses, Foundation, Pachinko (my personal favourite), I could go on.

Apple TV+ may not have many shows. But their quality ratio is unmatched.

And Ted Lasso got boring after the first season 🤷‍♂️
