      Unfortunately, the answer to that doesn’t lie in science but in politics.

      Ask the military industrial complex. Too much good applicable science and tech comes from space exploration.

      Socializing your health care might destroy you guys, since there’s so many fatties, smokers, guns and people who ignore doctors. Sounds expensive.

        Except that it is a proven fact that public health care costs less per capita than private, so actually it sounds less expensive. The people lobbying to keep it private are the only ones who stand to lose and their brainwashed army of sycophants can’t understand anything beyond the points they’ve been trained to parrot.

            Plenty of information out there, they shouldn’t need to take the time to do that for you

        Smokers?! Have you ever been to France? It’s like a trip back in time to 80s America, with a smoker on every street corner and an ash tray on every cafe patio table.
