Yes.

No that’s not what you are saying. You’re completely missing the distinction between market mechanisms and public infrastructure:

You cited the drop in child mortality as proof that capitalism works.

Especially when considering the billions of dollars capitalist countries give in aid internationally and domestically. Also, global child mortality has fallen massively during the same period the site is counting these deaths as capitalism’s toll. The under-five mortality rate fell about 60% from 1990 to 2024.

But in reality: Declining child mortality is explicitly driven by non-profit, state-administered public health interventions, clean water infrastructure, mass vaccination programs, and public sanitation.

Well The World Health Organization attributes reductions in child mortality primarily to public health interventions, such as expanded immunization programs, water treatment, and maternal health services, rather than market-driven healthcare.

Uh decreases in child mortality is a result from non-profit, state-driven public health initiatives and mass vaccination campaigns, publicly funded sanitation, and universal health protocols rather than market driven incentives. Credit belongs to public infrastructure, not private market distribution. You can thank socialism for this.

Jail all billionaires. You can’t be that rich without being a thief. You’ve stolen wages from the people.

The United States elected a fascist.

Will the Yanks ever hold anyone accountable? All signs point to no.

I’ll take Places I’ll Never Visit for 1000, Alex.

Yanks, can you do something about this guy or what?

The Divided States of America. Only way forward.

The best response to unpredictable neighbours: Canada needs to diversify, maintain strong internal unity, and to focus on relentless self-reliance. Canada has goods the world wants. If the US doesn’t want them Canada can and should go elsewhere.

Anyone who has ever been in a forest should know how difficult it is to do anything, let alone drive heavy machinery through a forest. Add smoke to reduce visibility and it’s near impossible to get bodies on the ground there.

Could Canada spend more on water bombers, yes. Will it stop the fire issue, no. Until the world accepts and addresses our climate problems these fires will only continue to get a worse.

Speed run for fastest decline of a Nation?

US is dangerously close to becoming a failed state.
