May I ask you to dumb down your point for someone who has such a low IQ that they got stuck working at a hospital? I jest in how I say that, but I legitimately do not get what you’re so angry at me for. You’re free to block me, although I’m not clear why you’re so mad that I criticized the US healthcare system when you also seem to be angry at the same system. Maybe this is all my fault for wording my original post poorly, sorry. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] imaqtpie@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) It's not your fault at all, I am also confused what exactly caused them to adopt such a hostile tone. I have noticed that many Lemmings have a strong preference for explanations which emphasize the dysfunction of capitalism as the ultimate source of all worldly suffering. Your suggestion that even in the absence of capitalist incentives, running a modern healthcare system is still an incredibly expensive endeavor that must be funded somehow, disrupts that worldview. Thus, the hostility. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jlou@mastodon.social 0 points 2 years ago Common ownership of the means of production would provide a lot of revenue that could be used for healthcare.
