Unfortunately for the vast majority of Americans, the primary purpose of the healthcare system in the USA is to make money. Lots of money. This is why it is keen to spread its tentacles outside the US – to drive growth and profit for the shareholders. Your job means everything in the America, and that […]
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”-Isaac Asimov Over the decades, […]
