Honestly, I don't think anyone would defend the healthcare system itself in the US.
What they would defend is the premise of returning value to shareholders. And of course, that's what most for-profit healthcare and insurance companies are set up to do. The largest shareholders are typically retirement and pension funds.
That can be applied to almost anything, of course, but if you look at the "enshittification" of most markets in the United States, you'll notice that the process began in earnest around the time that the Baby Boomers began to retire. The Boomers, mathematically speaking, did not have enough children to sustain increasing returns on investments through market expansion. When you have fewer people to extract wealth from, you have to extract more from the average person in order to keep up the numbers, and that's ultimately what we see here and across many sectors of the US economy. You have a generation that was told they would have as good of a retirement as their parents' generation, while also being told that they didn't need to produce the human capital in order for that retirement to happen with the same margins as before.
The effect is a generation that gets their basic healthcare met by the taxpayer through Medicare, while getting their retirement checks paid for by their children being squeezed on everything from real estate to healthcare to transportation costs. It's the tyranny of the gerontocracy.
Easy - they will say providing it for everyone is communism and by default bad. Despite spending more on healthcare than every other developed nation and having a robust and well funded by the taxpayer healthcare system for the selected few. But suddenly it's not communism if you're treating veterans and old people not just all of your citizens.
Even kids who grew up wealthy and attended Harvard might go on to murder a health care executive. This article sums it up pretty cleanly IMHO, the health care system in America is infuriatingly unfair. Is the goal to help people or just extract extract extract until they are dead?
This DAW has been in development for a long while but it's never been stable enough to be used seriously. I thought the project was dead until five minutes ago. Worth giving a try again, maybe.
Around a decade ago I used it for about a year, don't recall any stability issues on linux. So far no issues with my first few hours of use since reinstalling.
Only North-Americans have trouble with the concept that water is the best way to wash yourself after doing your business. Y'all seriously need to grow up.
I don't really much of a difference unless you have unhealthy messy shits all the time. Spraying your ass with water doesn't make it sanitary, so at the end of the day it is merely personal preference.
We do want to support clouds beyond AWS, GCP, and Azure. That's one of the reasons we choose Terraform since it can be extendable to any cloud, and also why we plan on focusing on Kubernetes next.
Ugh... I can't stand cloudy weather! A "nice day" means no clouds! I just can't be around people who think clouds are nice. If they like that weather so much, why don't they move somewhere where it's cloudy all the time! /s
