Some form of co-pay must be introduced. I think the Japanese system of 30% at the point of service and 70% covered by the government from your taxes works well. 

In Australia its 2% of your annual salary, which is tax deductible. basically its insurance, if you get cancer or need expensive surgery then you wont go bankrupt or die because you cant afford it.

Musk was one of the tech leaders who earlier this year called for AI developers to agree to a six-month pause before building systems more powerful than OpenAI's latest model, GPT-4. Around the same time, he had already been working to start his own AI company, according to Nevada business records.

so basically let me catch up so I can claim it as my own invention LOL

“maximum truth-seeking AI 

and as soon as it starts blocking all the lies, Musk will switch it off

Overflowing garbage cans are a health risk and an eyesore

its easy just put out more bins and empty them more frequently, its very easy to

do which many other countries have no problem with

Zelensky's burned through a LOT of foreign money, most of the foreign spare ammunition, weapons, and war machines and thousands and thousands of Ukrainian lives 

and you think Russia is immune also LOL

Nlaws Javelins are a lot cheaper and faster to produce than tanks, armored vehicles

Once NATO members start ramping up weapons production Russia will struggle to keep up

The G7 cannot afford to have it go on for years

they can afford it a lot longer than Putin

Putin's resource aren't wavering that's ridiculous.

cash reserves are wavering fast,

114 billion on a lost cause and no victory in sight,like Iraq and Afghanistan

yep it took the Soviet 10yrs, then they packed up and left, just like they will in Ukraine.

Russias cash reserves are running out fast, expected by years end. then the real problems start for Putin

Meanwhile have some cluster bombs and join the war crimes.

when your enemy attacks your civilians on a daily basis, kidnaps your children, you really dont have a say in the morality of it all

However none can deny the NATO alliance slowly backed Russia into a corner.

So the whole situation isn't totally because of putin.

wrong Finland and Sweden populations had no desire to join NATO, Putin invading Ukraine changed all that, effectively he back Finland and Sweden into a corner and clearly flipped their populations neutral status

lost cause in Afghanistan,when it embarked on another lost cause in Ukraine

> yes true took the soviets 10yrs to realize Afghanistan was a lost cause, Putin will realize the same with Ukraine

i love how these antivaxxers are the first to point fingers at vaccines for allergies, at the same time refuse to acknowledge the millions of kids around the world that arnt dying from , Pox, polio, hooping cough, malaria etc etc, why has there been a dramatic decrease in the childhood deaths, DAAAAHHH VACCINES. proven by science!

my wife use to work in a care facility, she was luckily a fulltime worker so her salary was pretty good,

it wasnt until you added up her monthly hrs divided into her salary that her hourly rate was below the minimum wage. once a week each staff member had to do nightshift, starting at 10am not getting home until around 12pm the next day, having to stay awake all night with only short naps 1-2 hrs during the night.

60-70 hr week

She looked like a zombie the next day, thats just not good for your health, she now works for me at a lower salary but doing a fraction the number of hrs. being the bosses wife, unofficially the boss also LOL, she can work whenever she wants as long as the work gets done, take a nap whenever she wants. her hourly rate is probably double what she got from her last job

More jobs were created because the US printed more paper money so employers could pay workers. It is a terrible Ponzi scam and Joe Biden should be held accountable.

nope Biden just make policies that help the US economy, compared to the last guy, unemployment is lower the markets are higher and hes done all this under worldwide inflation

but the US has some of the best mild and sharp cheddar around, especially if it comes from Wisconsin

sorry dont even come close to the varieties you can get out of Europe, sorry that government cheese in you philli cheesesteak doesn't cut it

We can all witness how divided and un-united the United States of America is.

You can choose to hate the Chinese as you please .

ask the Uyghurs how they feel about being Chinese

Koreans ,ethnic Japanese ,Chinese are predominantly Han as it's the largest gene pool in SE Asia and the world.

and if you go back far enough all Asians originated in Africa, the human genome doesn't lie, we all have ancestral African DNA we all have a common ancestry which is why different races can procreate just like people of the same race

any of us minions and wed be in hostage justice until we confessed, guilty or not

Tesla stock doubled, Twitter is low priority as it should be.

all bubble stock market, Tesla sold 1 million cars, Toyota 10million.

Toyota is far more profitable, 2022 profits about $21billion 2.8trillion yen

Tokyo is great if youre a tourist or short term visa stayer, single no kids.

if your long term , permanent resident with family then not so much,

plenty of better cheaper places to live in Japan. the rural home i bought in Japan 440m2 I paid less than you could buy a used condominium in Tokyo. while its classified as rural to Japanese Im only 40minutes commute from Osaka if I even had to work there, thankfully I dont

Some people got overly political/Elon doubting and missed an outstanding investment opportunity.

yeah all he has to do is fix twitter, advertisers are leaving in droves

Poland should pay the market value.

why, it was stolen from them it should be returned to the rightful owners,

Imagine asking Japan to pay for those stolen statues that were taken from their shrines

Ah yes. Totally sustainable. As if everyone will be driving one of these.

you make it sound like oil is a sustainable alternative

 I have been "cancer free" for three years 

well done keep up the fight, yes it will be a history making day when we can have a simple injection to treat cancer

increase the tax on petrol/diesel at the pump. 

what about EVs, many owners of EVs also own rooftop solar, effectively making their own electricity to charge their cars, how do they pay their road usage taxes

another Cruise stunt

Crap actor as well.

debatable, considering hes made more than almost anybody doing it he must be doing something right.

Also the man does his own stunts, which arent acted theyre actually real. How many top tier actors actually do their own stunts. yeah so your opinion is just that an opinion

This would hurts other trade partners like Canada, the rule doesn't just apply to china.

no not really , 1st Canada already has an FTA with the US, second the US is targeting economies that use child / prison laborer's

I’m pro choice but statistically speaking, if Japan were to make access to abortions harder or even illegal then that would offset the birth deficit and there would be no need to talk about immigration.

democratic governments should have no say what a women decides to do with her body, men having power over womens bodies isnt going to help the birth rate

What happened to the offensive?

seems like the offensive is the least of Putins worry now, LOL

Been over a year, Ukraine is still their own country.

maybe the US just paid Wagner double their rate, that's the problem with mercenaries they do the bidding of the highest payer
