They’re close to saying the quiet part out loud here. The reason (one of them) universal healthcare gets so much pushback is because an employer provided healthcare is a major way to keep the working class in their place.
I know so many people who have stayed in shitty abusive jobs because they can’t lose the healthcare. Imagine if people could fuck off and decide to live a less resource intensive life? Would be terrible for the economy.
I’m pissed at the state of healthcare health business in this (u.s.) country, and I think you should be too!
Linguistics is cool AF! A lot of people think (I certainly used to) English is a romance language, sharing as much as it does from French. But it is Germanic!
While something like 90% of the dictionary owes itself to French in loan words, 95% of the most commonly used words, and the Grammer by which they’re used, belongs to the Germanic language family!
Fun linguistics fact for ya! Now you don’t have to play that game.
I’ve got a 6 pro that’s still going strong. Battery drains a bit faster than it used to but I still get a full day out of it.
