  • I guess there’s a bit of a difference between some EU states and US in this. In Finland, rising unemployment level has been entirely due to immigrants and we are not yet throwing them out due to this.

    Most of the recent new immigrants are from Ukraine, so I guess that’d be a bit too evil even for an austerity government.

    Also in the most communist country, healthcare would be subject to some market forces. Namely: how many sick people you have versus how many doctors you have. You can affect these with central planning somewhat, but not a lot. Unless you kill all the sick people of course.

    Free market could fix that if properly applied. Also public health care could fix that if properly applied (i.e. decorrupted, modernized and funded so much that taxes would be amazing).

    As a centrist kind of non-woke person, if I see my son playing with dresses, I go “oh, cool” and move on. Not worth making a fuss about in any direction.

    My first son (biologically) turned out to be a trans, and never exhibited any clues towards it before leaping out of the closet as an older teenager.
