No, it’s a Costco hot dog.

Where burgers?

I mean, if you have a remote job and earn a American salary, you could probably do quite a bit to crush poverty if you move there.

Hope you like crushing poverty. Moldova is literally the poorest country in Europe.

FRANZOSEN 😡

EDIT: if my HS French serves me right, the translation goes approximately like this (no Google, I swear):

1. Panel: “I can’t see the eclipse!”
2. Panel: “Where is that tiny dark disk?”
3. Panel: “Hang on, I’m going to sit on your face.”
4. Panel: “Ah yes, it’s much clearer now.”

Ja pierdole!

Cool it with the ableism. Moldova is literally the poorest country in Europe. They don’t even HAVE a Burger King.

Not sure if you noticed, but this isn’t the only grammatical issue here.

Straight to grippy sock jail.

Yes, officer. This guy right here.

That’s not a real thing!

But like… why?

In the UK or the US?

Oh no, I’m pretty sure a good chunk of it also goes to various useless bureaucrats.

Sure, turns out that when you have a government monopoly on healthcare, you can pretty much just dictate the prices for every prescription or procedure.

Whether that results in better service however is an entirely different question – after all, why should doctors or nurses work extra hard if they’re going to be paid the same either way?

That actually seems fairly low if you ask me. Probably wouldn’t pay for more than 10 of these procedures in America. Maybe 20.

It’s not. Of course the doctors and nurses don’t work for free (and neither should they). They’re just paid by the NHS instead of the patient. And the NHS of course is paid for by taxes.

They are the backrooms of geography

My hometown has a “mountain” almost twice as tall as this. And it’s nowhere near the Alps or Rocky Mountains.

I grew up in hill country and I cannot for the life of me understand how people live in the flatlands. It makes me physically uncomfortable.
