2GreenEnergy supporter Gary Tulie in Buckinghamshire, England sent me this report on the relationship between healthcare spending and life expectancy among countries in the developed world. He writes:
Hi Craig,
I thought you would find this interesting.
Many Americans are horrified at the idea of “socialised medicine” but look at the results. Pretty much all the countries on the list have some form of universal healthcare paid for either by taxes or by compulsory universal insurance cover with average costs around half those in the U.S. and average life expectancies nearly 5 years longer!
Yes, there is no doubt that we have both higher healthcare costs and worse outcomes that the rest of the wealthiest nations. I’m sure there are dozens if not hundreds of groups trying to understand the correlation here.
In addition to the horrible fact that we have people dying of treatable diseases because they can’t afford healthcare, I would bet it’s a function of deregulated corporations’ impact on our lives, in terms of food/nutrition, toxic waste, etc.
It all comes down to something that permeates our lives here: we care very about the wellbeing of others.
Ask yourself how well Donald Trump would fare if he were running to become Prime Minister of England (or the president of France). He’d be a laugh.

Assault Rifles in America
The answer to the question becomes obvious when one considers what we’ve become as a country, which, in a couple of words, is hateful and ignorant.
How much intelligence do you expect from a population that re-elected a convicted felon who then immediately had 60+ other felony charges against himself dropped?

A Loss for Environmentalists, and Humanity as a Whole
The guy who sent me this writes, “A Loss for the (Climate) Alarmists!”
A loss for climate alarmists? LOL. It’s a loss for all humanity.
But let’s be real. This is the only thing in which Trump succeeds: ruining good things for his own enrichment.
And that can mean a great numbers of things: the Kennedy Center, the city of Minneapolis, our scientific institutions, our greatest universities, our rejection of cruelty, our opposition to dictators, the future of Greenland, the lives of immigrants who have been living, working, and paying taxes here for decades, public education, protection from formerly wiped-out diseases, and America’s relationship with its allies — for starters.
It’s the only thing we do well as a nation now: destroying the best things that the U.S. has developed throughout the centuries, so that Trump can maintain power.
A Loss for Environmentalists, Yes — But More Importantly, for Humanity as a Whole

Murders Committed by ICE Agents Are Acceptable, According to What We See Here
The reader who sent me this writes:
Don’t worry conservatives outnumber commie libtards 20 to 1 and we support ice.
You seem to be comparing ordinary crime with routine extra-judicial killings by the U.S. government, and you appear to reject the idea of prosecuting coldblooded murderers if they’re employed by the Trump administration.
Btw, it’s not just “liberals” who want rule of law returned to the United States; it’s everyone but the most morally depraved.
Sorry. Not impressed with your thinking here.
