I love my quality of care in the US. My insurance is quite reasonable compared to what my increased tax burden might look like overseas. I can’t imagine living in a nation that would make me wait months for something like an MRI, I love living in a nation where I can get an MRI for myself and my dog in the same day. I also enjoy living in a nation that doesn’t suggest I kill myself over trivial situations and backlogs, let alone suggest I kill myself at all.

The only thing I hate is dealing with Byzantine clerical processes in the occasions they make a mistake. Have to waste 3 hours on back and forth phone calls because a low-level nurse made a typo is obnoxious.

I think I good question we can ask, are any major brands building new stores in San Francisco? That would be a good indicator of whether or not brands see the market as too-risky or that Nordstrom is using a convenient scapegoat.

I’m asking here the locals here, I haven’t been to the city in over 20 years so I haven’t the slightest idea.

Wouldn’t this type of event happening in 1896 really spit in the face of the idea that the current spate of heat waves is related to human-related climate change and or the idea that we can do anything to actually prevent this class of issue?

Sounds that these things happen and the only solution is setup cooling stations just as we do warning stations for indigents in the winter months?

What makes a spokesperson lying “capitalism?” One can think of lying spokespersons like good ol’ Baghdad Bob operating outside of a business context.
