Norway, Sweden, France, all have subsidized or free college tuition. Canada has subsidized college tuition. They also pay much more in taxes.

On average physicians in the US make anywhere from 60-100k+ more than Physicians in those countries. We also pay significantly more for our education. If you adjust only the healthcare system and leave education like it is you will negatively effect the health care system. To those that can afford it, U.S. healthcare is the best in the world as far as quality, most advanced practices, and the best Doctors. If you begin to deter the greatest minds from the field because of the high cost of education and minimal return then you will ultimately degrade the product.


Is it worth degrading the quality of the product in order to meet the demand? I don't think so. Unfortunately healthcare is a service like any other and it requires advanced practitioners.

The best doctors may be in the USA purely due to sheer numbers and odds, but I'm willing to bet the average quality is worse. Too many schools = more difficult to regulate industry = wider variation of standards. American doctors charge more not because they're better, but because they can.

Just a decent human, doesn’t pay to be bigoted.

I’m not a bigot. I’m a realist. I’ve seen some of the worst people in society. Really opens your eyes

Strong racism. ECN 2.0 forming.

Easy to make conclusions when you have preconceived opinions. Once you accept that the system is broken and that being white is a bonus you can begin to understand race issues. It just doesn’t pay to be close minded. White people arent at fault for being white, they’re at fault when they perpetuate a system of inequality.

There is racism on a systemic level, and it’s never been more evident. The fact that people, including the president, are outraged over black people protesting and think they can tell them how to protest just shows you. It’s an uncomfortable conversation for those on the right side of things.


There are bad people everywhere, in every class, in every race, but when you start behind the 8 ball it’s difficult to change the narrative.

Basically. Instead of being outraged over people protesting, find out why they are protesting and work to fix it.

Well when you’re the President of the United States of America, things you say are typically taken more seriously. Trump also began his attack in person during a rally in Alabama, not on twitter. You know when he’s said they should be fired for exercising their 1st amendment right and called them sons of bitches. Ya know.


Trumps tweeting is literally about to start a war with North Korea. If Joe Smith in bumble **** wherever tweets something that doesn’t align with his companies policies he can be fired, so don’t act like twitter is a platform that you can tweet whatever the **** you want. People are fired over social media daily.


Please tell me how the POTUS saying something over text is different than saying something during a press conference? He holds office in the most scrutinized position in the world. Every single thing he does has an impact


Brb trump tweets death to black people. Lulz guys it’s okay it’s just Twitter, TWITTER!!!

Solid rebuttal, very well thought out.

Yo dudes, hope this isn't a stupid question, but as an EUR-brah I'm visiting Canada in October 2018 and I'm wondering how hard it is to get a ticket to either the Maple Leafs, Canadiens or the Oilers?

(I'd rather go watch the Flyers play, because my uncle plays there, but unfortunately Philly isn't on our road )

Thanks!

All 3 will be expensive, but it's not hard to get tickets. Stubhub, ticketmaster or scalpers outside are your friends.

[KurtMussell]

hello friends, as of today i am 21 years old

Enjoy the ment, live it up cause once you hit 27, it's all down hill.

[CrazyLazyDude]

If you're willing to see the Oil play a crappy team, you can get tickets for a low as $50 per seat. Of course, that's in the nose bleeds and if you want to see a better team it will cost more as well.

True that. Only reason I mentioned the Oilers, is because as a kid I got a Gretzky-shirt when I played ice hockey myself.


Will most likely go see the Canadiens, as I'm natively French-speaking and will spend relatively more time in Quebec anyway .

Thx guys!

Speaking from experience, in Montreal if I wanted cheap tickets I'd wait until the end of the first then go buy tickets off desperate scalpers for 20-40$.

Contact me if you want me to send you a list of a few interesting bars with good beer when you're in town.

Jagr to Calgary *******s!

[KurtMussell]

Jagr playing along side the son of a guy he was drafted with in 1990. What a time to be alive.

Second hearing with DoPS in less than two weeks. What's the over under for Tom Wilson's suspension this time? I can't find video of the hit, but I'm thinking 5 games.

That hit earlier in pre-season should have been a 2 min minor at most. Ridiculous how refs can blackball players like that

DeAngelo is the same; it’s why AZ traded him. After his incidents in jr if he even looked at anyone wrong he’d take a call, many times unwarranted. I felt for the kid

I just don't see why people shouldn't take every precaution with people coming from war torn countries with terrorist activity. Doesn't mean don't let them in, but maybe don't let the ones in you can't fully vet. Not sure how this isn't common sense?

That was a very late hit.

So, is this the first year that Sydney Crosby isn't the consensus #1 player? Passing of the torch.

[CrazyLazyDude]

He was never the consensus #1. Lots of people argued for Ovie and (LMFAO!) Toews over him, and a lot of people last year (maybe only Oilers fans) said it was McDavid.

As an Oilers and Pens fan, I'm undecided. I think Crosby is a better all around player but McDavid is better offensively and I think his ceiling is higher than Sid's ever was.

Let's be real tea, I used to say he wasn't the best, but I'm a Flyers fan. There's no argument really, just homers and salty fans who think otherwise. Ovi was close for awhile, but he was never really quite there.
