A lib I was talking to after a few pints handwaved that fact away saying “yeah yeah yeah that’s just because they have universal healthcare”

Reminds me how the U.S created a war in Syria which inturn flooded Europe with refuges who will be a burden on social services just to say, "see socialism doesn't work"

Yup, gotta destroy millions to discredit the system that would help those millions.

This exists on the micro scale too. Go to a DMV in a shit hole state, it's a literal trailer home with a few dozen folding chairs in the "lobby" wait times of like 2 hours. Three completely checked out guys with no chairs and no AC seemingly for the sole purpose of maximizing their shitty attitudes. Have to schedule a driving test a week ahead. "Oh you don't have three pieces of ID and a bill to your address? Sorry, no can do."

"You think government can do anything right? You should go to the DMV then" debate-me-debate-me

Go do the DMV in middle-of-nowhere Minnesota with an expired passport, they don't even bother to look at it, find me on the computer, license renewed in <15 minutes with like six people ahead of me, only one woman working the desk.
