The US systems problem is that it is hilariously expensive and underperforming.

The US system is better in research and development, universities, has more big names involved, but regarding costs it is up and away. The German system is expensive and costs are gallopping, like everywhere, but the US systems costs are desastrous.

Okay, lets not play on words like 'free'

There is no charge in the UK for the individual at point of contact, services having already been paid for by government grants which are derived from income tax derived from companies and individuals, a great many people in the UK don't even pay any.

The look on his face on the photo in that article speaks a great many words.

Going back to my last comment where I wrote about thought who only went quickly through my mind.
Skybird replied to it and then today in the Swedish news I read the same

I found the English version of it

Quote:

This is what Donald’s going to do: he’s not going to concede, although who cares. What’s worse is he’s not going to engage in the normal activities that guarantee a peaceful transition. All he’s got now is breaking stuff, and he’s going to do that with a vengeance.

I truly hope the transition will be a peaceful and a joyful happening.

The Republicans and Senate (if they get it) will let him starve.

Honestly said I think Joe Biden has no chance. I would like to be proven wrong over the next years.

I think it will not be different when Harris takes over. The election chances in four years will by far not be as good as they just have been.

Trump will not go away, I think. The big gorilla in the room, Romney called him. Many Republicans still are silent, only a few criticised him in past days. No good omen. The Republican wall will maybe not crumble before the demographics, ethnic development in the US has created realities that even the rigged election system, gerrymandering and the anger of the conservative can no longer bypass. These developements are working in favour for the left.

The next Trump, new or old, is only a question of time.

The country is certainly facing a deadlock for sometime to come. Personally, I see a Biden administration as a disaster far greater than those that see Trump's as a disaster. There is no agenda in the party. The old school Pelosi and her crew are not only not on the same page. The page is in a totally different book. The squad pushing idyllic dreams of a Green New Deal where all are for one and one for all. Social, environmental, racial justice! Oh the fun we will have....

I have just been informed by a good friend that this election is not over yet and that it may still be argued before the Supreme Court
which would then leave it up to the House/Senate to decide the winner.

When my friend posted it (I dare not here) FB gave me a warning about the election results final count and warned me not to post it.

So maybe I'm not a false prophet yet, uh?

Here's a real slap in the face for all of the men and women that have paid their student loans off:

Biden said he'd forgive $10,000 in student debt for all borrowers. Will it actually happen?

Now that he's been elected, the 42 million Americans with education loans may be wondering: Will it really happen?

^ and you know what i heard? I am not allowed to tell you, but ..
The day after the election Trump went home and beat the scrap out of his wife, which is the final blow why Mrs Trump will leave him and be divorced as soon as her yet-husband has left the White House in january 2021.
She does not dare to do it earlier because Trump would be close to kill her.

Oh lookout, I maybe a false prophet.

It's difficult to see what's up and down in all the information we get regarding this US election.

I have this standpoint: Stories/Comments my friends share where there's no link to any article or the article is on, what I call suspicious, newsside I take with a truckload of salt.

The same goes with our mainstream media, in some cases.

President Donald Trump has sacked Defence Secretary Mark Esper, announcing on Twitter that the top US official has been "terminated".

Christopher Miller, the current head of the National Counterterrorism Center, will take on the role immediately.

It follows a public falling-out between Mr Trump and Mr Esper in recent weeks.

The assignment completed!

Trump on the golf course. Pence on vaccation. Barr having turned invisible.

Corrosion.

Like a fart in the wind. The Supreme Court, if it even accepts the "case", will only rule on how much it is still allowed to stink on its wind out. If the judges have noses, probably not too long.

mapuc · 11-09-20, 05:47 PM

Ok I could be wrong in this.

From what I have learned Trump is demanding a recount in some of the states and he want the Supreme Court word for it.

Was it yesterday where I saw an hour CNN and here they went through these allegation and toke Colorado as an example.

Number of citizens .... Can't remember how many citizens in Colorado could vote in this election.
The percentage of irregularities in voting and suspicious vote fraud was something with 0.0.....9 %

So let Trump has his recount because I think the result will be somehow the same. Maybe Trump will get a few hundred or may a thousand more vote than the first counting was done.

I could be wrong.

There's nothing politically correct about being tactful and civil. Just saying.
