I kinda wish we had an option for AD. In the US if you're poor you have to go on Medicaid, part of being accepted means you have to have less than 2000 dollars and sign your house over to the state who will liquidate your estate upon death to recoup costs spent (even though people pay through payroll taxes their whole lives). The states administer a Medicaid estate recovery system and it's essentially a way for the state to steal property from the poor in order to get health care for the elderly. Out of pocket expenses would be around 10,000 a month which only the very wealthy can afford... I'm definitely not for eugenics on the disabled but if I live to be 85 plus I would rather use AD rather than impoverish my family more so.

Capital Strike? Imperialism coming home and all I suppose. Saw some articles suggesting that European stocks were rallying as a reaction to the US volatility (also another was bullish from the Europeans tough talk about doing war Keynesianism following the US de-funding NATO); but how long can the west park stock on that sinking ship?
What's going on with the Greek left these days? Haven't really heard shit since Syriza was in power.
Known Hamas member Chuck Schumer, lol.
