Go See "Where to Invade Next" if you can

[SheenaR]

Sobering view of how far ahead Europe (and some other interesting places) is of us despite having less wealth.

I would say it's a must see for the Bernie Supporter

Enjoy the day

1. I keep hearing this. I have to go see it. Hopefully this weekend.

[pangaia]

2. I just don't think I could stand it.

I mean, seeing and hearing the truth on the big screen. I see it enough already.

I travel, not a lot, but enough.. Europe and East Asia mostly-- Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore...

We are perhaps the dumbest population as a whole of any industrialized, well- educated country.

3. What's worse is when he asks people

Would you want to live in America?

or


What would you say to the American people if you could say anything?

It's like they pity us. Really hard hitting but with some of that cheesy Moore humor added.

4. Shit I constantly feel the need to APOLOGIZE for being American.

This cycle may be the cycle that sharpens my cynicism into the necessity to just leave-- this country is too ass-backwards anymore. And honestly? I'm convinced Hillary will bring about the end. We've seen her works, we've seen the company she keeps-- I want no part of it. If it weren't illegal, I think I'd pay someone to break my leg so I wouldn't have to bear the idea of her being my commander in chief.

5. Not one person I know around the worls in maybe 20 countries

would want to live here.

Now, that is not to say there are not millions of people living in bad to terrible to truly life-threatening circumstances who in fact WOULD want to move here.

But the people I mostly associate with are some combination of highly intelligent, well-educated, creative, artistic, types.. Musicians, writers, architects, dancers, artists, engineers, doctors, musical instrument makers, international concert soloists, mid-level managers, etc etc.... not one of them would move here.
Oh, and one very famous athlete, whom I won't mention. (I got lucky)

6. Just saw this last night

Fantastic!

I lived in France for a few months back in the late 1980s, stayed with (French) friends in a fairly blue-collar Parisian suburb. Saw some of this in action when my friend got sick. When she called in sick to work, a visiting nurse came to the house, examined her, and then GAVE her medicine to take. No co-pay, no charge for the meds, and she never had to leave her apt. She isn't a CEO ... merely a clerk in the accounting office of a company.

My friend will be retiring in a year or two at the age of 60, plans to move to the south of France, and seems to have no worries about how she will survive in retirement.

Nice ....
