How could you possibly know that?
I only hear complaints about the VA.
The VA is the closest thing the US has to a socialized medicine system and as you can imagine it's a death trap. Not to mention the overseers do a very good job of making sure injuries sustained while indentured are not covered.
life experience
Welcome to socialism. People know that complaints = more money. It's incentivized in a socialist western system to scream your little lungs out about how terrible things are to get more funding for your own budget.
So you don't, because "life experience" in no way qualifies you to make judgments about all people like that. You just have an interest in pretending that the American system is fair to everyone.
Any negative comment about any European country is quickly silenced, because they know they either have to silence the people complaining or fix it. And they're not planning on fixing it.
Polls literally do this all the time, by using samples to get a bigger picture.
Not really. I don't care. I'm against the welfare state. I think America's welfare state sucks & should be torn down. I'd be 100% okay with "veterans" living on the streets for real if the lazy fucks won't get jobs.
But that's not the reality. the reality is that US taxpayers pay many hundreds of billions of dollars every year to make people like this not real. These are just grifters. If this guy wasn't lying, he would have endless amounts of help from US taxpayer funded socialist bullshit.
The difference is in Europe the socialists already won. In America we're still fighting over it. So this is how it works here. Also Republicans have been cucks on shit like saying no to "veterans", creating perverse incentives.
We threw insane amounts of money at veterans over "burn pits" even though it was total bullshit.
But how likely is it that however broad your personal experience is, it covers everyone who is in this sort of situation? A labor shortage does not just exist because people don't want to work, but skills demanded do not always fit skills reuqired.
But you know nearly no one else is. So you'll say that it's fair, so that they won't demand that people actually be treated fairly. The homeless issue in the US is bad enough as it is, not just for them, but also with the reign of terror they inflict on other people. I have never seen any European city with American-style homeless people being aggressive.
Like what? $300 a month in welfare checks if he has a kid? That's not even enough to cover health insurance.
You believe in Havana Syndrome but not 'burn pits'? Maybe they should spread rumors that Russia dunnit.
