@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Indicted not in jail! Prediction: Comey's case gets thrown out.
BTW my prediction % is pretty good!
I predicted that Kelce and Taylor would marry 1.5 years ago on Valentines Day. I was only a little off on the timing.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Yes Luigi's in jail but Comey's not. Luigi's case bothers me. I wish they'd just release him and maybe give him a $$$MILS for time spent and all the people he helped.
Yep .. predicted Marilyn Monroe and JFK but got shot down on that one!

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social Eventhough it's having its weak spots, but I really like the systems of general health care – "communism" – in many countrries here in Europe.

I believed privilege could only be justified by service, high taxes on very high incomes were necessary to prevent an entrepreneurial economy becoming a rentier economy, and Keynesian growth would finance public service improvements and a welfare state that steadily reduced inequality..."

Letter to The New Stateman in 2023
Universal healthcare is NOT some batshit crazy Marxist theory, it was consensus politics in many countries for decades after WW2.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social im telling you. You have guns in USA. Just use it. Not a single billionaire should walk safe on the streets. They have stolen money from you and your country.
Your economy is based on not paying your insurance claims. They lied to you and let you and your children die. Gather and make them pay.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I am sad that in the USA it has to come to cases like this before accepting that social ideas might be better than capitalist ideas.
Until then every person seems wanting to be a not-yet-millionaire ignoring the whole matter to a later time, don't they?

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social The only people who defend it are those making shitloads of money from it.
And who are fully covered for everything. Somehow.
The system is brilliant at taking money from ordinary people. It is crap at delivering healthcare. So it depends what you want from it.
