There is such a thing as irreducible complexity, no matter how you implement it, the solution will always have at least that complexity. This means that in a non-trivial system there will be some services that definitely won't fit in y

Cuba does not really have a good record when it comes to human rights. But its health system does have an excellent reputation. Cuba has long been working on its health diplomacy, by sending their doctors to countries around the world. It i
