Not here. Control is everything. Dont comply then you have big problems. Our health system is privately owned and run. Our highways and dykes are state owned. Energy is private as is transport but all have a government inspectorates which are gods.rainbow wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 12:09 pmTrue in some cases, but normally ownership means control. An old Capitalist idea.Scot Dutchy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 11:45 amIt is not a question of who owns what but who controls what. We have almost nothing in state ownership but the state controls everything rigidly. The state sets the standards business has to conform.
In the Corporate Era, ownership isn't necessary for control, but that's off topic.

Re: Media Bias
you mean that all doctors and hospitals are private practices, or that the Health System organisation is itself a private (hopefully nonprofit) corporation too?

Re: Media Bias
Yep. It is a non profit organisation. It is a mixture of foundations. Doctors, hospitals and clinics. All costs are decided every year. Nobody can charge anymore than the agreed price. The insurance charges are agreed upon by all bodies involved and are strictly controlled by the health inspectorate. All treatments are decided by the doctors. The health insurances can only pay.
Most hospitals have joined together in districts for greater efficiency. In my district a small hospital is being closed in five years. It is the one closest to me but future planning means it is no longer required and there are plenty other treatment centres. The nearest one where I was a week ago is only 10 minutes by a direct tram.

Re: Media Bias
Yap, yap, yap. Talk is cheap, numbnuts. I don't give a shit how many times you claim to be pro-choice. You vote for the party that would ban abortion if given the opportunity. An NSDAP voter who is not in favor of gassing Jews is still a NAZI, and is still a threat to Jewish people. Your support for the Republican party under Trump makes you a threat to abortion rights, religious freedom, and frankly all life on earth.
And by the way, Hayek and MIses were born in the 1800s. So yes, I'll grant you that if you, too, had been born in 1800s Austria-Hungary, you'd have been considered a liberal as well. Congrats on that.
Here's the thing, Coito. The Republican party is a conservative party. Moreover, it's a conservative party in the US. The US, as we all know, is more conservative than all other first world countries. By first world standards, the Republican party is extremely conservative. It is also an extremely religious party. The Republican party is in essence a right-wing, anti-science, Christofascist party. If you want to support a right-wing, anti-science, Christofascist party, fine, but for fuck's sake, don't get all indignant when people call you conservative.

Re: Media Bias
...back to media bias...
So the new muslim congresswoman twote a couple tweets that were critical of the US' unconditional support of Israel and suggested that a pro-Israel lobby called AIPAC might be one of the reasons behind that unconditional support. Within hours, the ENTIRE so-called left-biased MSM was all over her ass, calling her remarks anti-semitic.

Re: Media Bias
Cunt is a bit trollish, and 42 can be a pain; both of them are perhaps a little blasé about Russian influence on US politics, but it is a bit absurd to call them Russian trolls...

Re: Media Bias
Why not. There are so many in western media. Both the Guardian and Independent have had big problems. The Independent had to completely rebuild its comments page. As for the rest well Russians dont worry about the likes of the Wail, Bun and Suppress. American mainline papers are also riddled with them.

You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
