Lol no. See every other western country with a parliamentary system. Same issues
Well not all the same issues. Healthcare isn't nearly as expensive in other western countries, most of them don't have to worry about their FICO (Social) credit score, all that jazz
There's zero correlation between that and having a parlamentary system imo.
☝️🤓 Akshually there would be some correlation by sheer virtue of the US having the worst healthcare costs while also being one of the only "full" presidential systems in that category
Whether there's an actual relationship (which I'm guessing is what you meant) is less clear, but I think there's gotta be some association. There have been efforts to reform healthcare since Nixon's time, but they were always able to throw up their hands and abandon it due to nebulous partisan gridlock (of course, informed by moneyed interests trying to keep the govt from busting up their profits). With the more fluid governments and coalitions of parliaments it's possible we would have seen alignment on something
That's just a more sage way of divvying up the spoils of imperialism
It would,but that would be a bad thing
I get the sentiment, but also I would like if my arthritic, cancer survivor mother didn't have to pay out the ass for medication she needs to function. Just daydreaming over here
Fair enough,can't exactly scold people crushed under the weight of the machine for wanting some relief
