> We are objectively wealthy enough that everyone could have a place to live, enough food to eat, free medical care even to the point of expensive cancer treatment, free education if so much of our resources weren't directed towards enriching so few without sacrificing essential items.
I'd love to see your math on this.
- grecy 6y agoAt least a dozen counties already achieve basically all of this, today. They have done for a couple of decades. That's plenty of proof.
- fastball 6y agoCare to name them? Medical care without limitations definitely does not exist in ~dozen countries, and education isn't entirely free in most of the places that have nationalized healthcare either.
- grecy 6y agoRunning through a filtered list of OECD countries: (here's 16) Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland
- Mandatum 6y agoGranted the line for elective procedures or medicine varies by country, but necessary medical treatment is very well covered in all of the above countries. Most will pay for travel to other countries for specialist treatment if it doesn't exist within its own borders and is approved within their own system.
