Deregulation has worked so well in Texas, during one massive emergency
Mexico had to rescue them.

Regulation must be why the US health care system is the most expensive per capita while the U.S. healthcare system ranks last among ten high-income countries in critical areas such as access, quality, and health outcomes.

Even with all that money spent, the US Healthcare system only ranks seventh overall in a separate index that evaluates healthcare innovation and
quality.

American's life spans are 4 years shorter than in neighbouring Canada, who
is with the EU, Australia and the UK in average longivity. They're
literally dancing on our graves.

The answer is to clearly keep deregulating and expanding for-profit healthcare.


Aside from that, the highly regulated power market in Canada is dancing circles around the clumsy, inefficient and outdated for profit private
power systems in the USA by being cheaper, greener and more robust.

Do it the American way and fail.

Communists love to have government ownership of private enterprise while the Nazis took control of dozens of industries as partners.

Trump took a stake in the 3rd rated chip maker in the world, not the best,
not even second best, but the failing Intel. He's a realestate clown, he doesn't know his shit from chocolate mousse when it comes to more important things like real capitalism.

Very American indeed.

I'd love to hear your take on the Democrat Biden Crime Family.

And Democrat Nancy Piglosi's insider trading.

Nancy made me a lot of money when I saw them buy Nvidia stock, so I did
the same.
