The cruelty of MIQ

[Lilith7]

I've no idea why some on the right politically often assume that if you're even slightly left, then you 'must want to socialise everything, & have no profit' when they have the very clear example of how very successful a mixture of both socialism & capitalism can be in some of the Nordic countries, whose populations often feature at the top of those 'happiest people' surveys.

Those who do so appear to think anything even slightly left equates to the old USSR.

And some of the highest taxes as well.  Not to mention the oil and gas they have as well - something this government pissed away on a "captains call".

People living good lives IS PROFIT!

That is the bit so many people miss...

The cost of each road death, each premature 'accidental' death is in the millions.
You'd think a Nat like you would be appalled by such unnecessary cost and loss of productivity...

Yes so why don't we ban cars?  Boats too - people drown.

Yes they do indeed have some of the highest taxes - & yet, they're also the world's happiest people.
Which leads to the strong probability that removing the stress of providing medical & education needs for their families works extremely well - & since stress can affect health, its probably also a health benefit as well.
