  • IMO the term 'conservative' is somewhat fluid when the topic is other countries. For instance, Canadian/American conservatives/republicans (respectively) wouldn't even think of implementing a tax like that because in many ways they are the bankers.

  • Just to note, these people are well off. If it was someone that doesn't have $12,862 (or the equity/credit score to take out a large loan) to pay for surgery in another country (with a working medical system), then they'll die of being poor, and I'm sure many people have already.

  • Funny, I was just going to mention Vietnam; they did the lockdown as it should have been. Closed borders, no gatherings, the whole shebang. And wouldn't you know it; economic damage from the pandemic was extremely minimal because of all the people (read: workers, read: customers) that didn't needlessly die or were permanently disabled.

  • Mergler and other researchers studied the mothers’ umbilical cords, which had traces of their grandmothers’ mercury exposure.

    [...] 80 Grassy Narrows mothers and their 162 children aged between five and 17 and found significant links between grandparents’ exposure to mercury, the mothers’ psychological distress and the grandchildren’s risk for attempted suicide.

    Intergenerational trauma and now intergenerational poisoning.
