I'm not guessing that it's easy to misunderstand things one has not experienced - that's axiomatic. And there's nothing utopian about, for example, healthcare in Germany (with which I have a decade's experience) - it's just more accessible, more affordable, and more effective at producing public health outcomes than what exists in America, my country of birth.

There is nothing dystopian about having a dental emergency handled in the middle of the night, at no cost to you.

I’ll say it again:

You’re assuming I’m ignorant about or haven’t experienced what you’re talking about.

This comment, like the one before, isn’t made in good faith.

That's a rich assessment on a thread about the precipitous decline in US church attendance.

I rest my case.

Please don't break the site guidelines like this, regardless of what another commenter does. It only makes things worse.
