Just... Pay for capacity in your population centers in some equitable way.

OH, OH!!! you could run for healthcare as a public service instead of a profit center 🤡

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 0 points 15 hours ago (23 children)

I don’t think you know what a hospital looks like when it is over capacity 🤡 but keep on talking like you know stuff.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 3 points 15 hours ago (14 children)

Yeah I make a point to avoid backwater 3rd world countries like the USA

You could do your own homework and make an educated guess, but you won't, so I guess I have to spoon feed you an answer of "Canada"

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Why would I make assumptions about where you live when I can just ask you?

And for a Canadian, you have a pretty unhealthy obsession with the United States. 🍁🤡

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net -2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That's pretty rich.

Do your homework slob.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

What homework? lol. Maybe you should go to bed. You’ve got school tomorrow.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Looking at a profiles' post history is super basic.

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 0 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Why would I waste my time with that… when I can just ask you? Lmfao. Go to bed, kid.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I guess you like verbal abuse instead of being competent?

[–] ravhall@discuss.online 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, sweetie, you’re not capable of making me feel abused 💋 maybe when you grow up you’ll learn how to throw a punch.

Do you want me to read you a bed time story?

Once upon a time in Canada, there was a kid named Bane Edgelord. Unlike most of his classmates, who spent their evenings enjoying hockey or maple syrup (as one does in Canada), Bane had a different hobby: staying up all night arguing with strangers on the internet about the United States, particularly their healthcare system.

He knew nothing about healthcare, mind you, but that didn’t stop him. Bane thought he was an edgy badass, telling anyone who would listen that America's system was broken and that Canadians were far superior. But here’s the catch: no one actually cared what Bane thought.

One night, Bane launched into a tirade in an online forum about how America’s healthcare was a "disaster," how it was "run by greedy capitalists," and how "Canadians did it better." Of course, he had no idea what he was talking about. When someone asked him what a deductible was, he dodged the question, thinking his general disdain was enough to win the argument. Spoiler: it wasn’t.

He stayed up all night typing furiously at the keyboard, convinced that he was shaking the very foundation of the internet. Meanwhile, everyone in the forum had moved on to discuss pizza toppings.

By the time morning rolled around, Bane was exhausted, missed school for the third time that week, and officially failed out of his classes. His teachers gave up, his friends stopped calling, and his future in education was toast.

Now, Bane lives in his mom’s basement, still convinced he's fighting the good fight. He spends his days watching YouTube videos about conspiracy theories and posting angry comments about American healthcare without realizing no one’s reading them. But hey, at least Bane still thinks he’s cool.

And so, Bane Edgelord remained in his basement, a self-proclaimed internet warrior—forever typing, forever ignored.

The end. Goodnight kiddo 💋
