Look the USA don,t have a left. What it has is an ultra right and centre right. If the USA ever had a left political party you would have free heath care, affordable pharma, and decent minimum wage of $20 an hour, compulsory voting, paid superannuation for all workers, decent customer service and no tipping so to finance the $2.10 an hour for your slave labour class.
too right!
however, anything that leans slightly away from centre right becomes labelled with the ‘s’ word.
(that’s socialism for the maga’ts here)

Cretin. That the media reports every brain fart from his poisonous, poisoned soul as if it were ‘normal’ is just as sickening as having to look at the cretinous monster.

It’s been a while since a “I just wanted to kill someone” attack. Had a feeling they were going out of fashion but no, it still exists in this society. What creates that in someone?
I met a “I want to kill my parents” woman in Australia many years ago. I thought she was joking, but no, deadly serious.
sick.

The cold-fear factor here is off the scale. They definitely overdo it.
man, turn up 30 minutes before the clinic opens to ensure a short wait time, and the car park and waiting room are already full. Is it that the pharmaceutical companies stoked fear in order to move more units, or is it a cultural thing? The slightest sniffle, “you should go to the hospital” (!!!)

This reflects more on the types of people who seek to join the police force here. I’ve known some young people here whose behaviour was quite antisocial, even sociopathic as high school students, who went on to join the police force as their future opportunities narrowed. Hope I never have to rely on them for anything.

if you take away funding, then you might as well take away every advancement made by Harvard research, such as organ transplants, MRIs, cancer detection, medicines, etc.

Posted in: Pharmacists across Japan say they are increasingly subjected to harassment and abuse from customers over drug shortages. Why do you think some customers act like this? See in context
Because the pharma companies in Japan have got the population addicted to the idea that taking a medicine for absolutely anything and everything is the answer to all their problems.
I still can’t get over how every person around me asks did I take medicine if I mention a sniffle, a slight cough, a headache, hay fever, a sore elbow….

Posted in: Currently, there are about 210,000 traffic lights nationwide in Japan. Do you think some of them are in places where lights aren't really needed? See in context
They are put in place to remove any driver decision making on whether it safe to go or not. However, 40% of road fatalities in Japan occur at light controlled junctions
nobody cares what colour the lights are. At every stop at every set of lights I watch drivers going through red lights or arrows. It’s so deeply in the culture that it won’t be changed but putting more lights here n there.
