The US basically has to un-cult this group.

This is the system where I grew up (Switzerland): about 20% of the populace goes to Uni, the rest enters the workforce through apprentice-ships (with a day and a half of school with it, so you can earn a bachelors degree as well).

Works like a charm.

This.

Aka. the Hippocratic Oath.

This. America sure likes to ‘humanize’ their fascists.

I’ve been tested about 8 times by now, so the 135 million number might be mightily flawed, too.

Marko and Horner both seem like not the nicest guys to be around, nor the type to make you feel like they ‘have your back’, which tracks…

Yeah, the Norse myth as non-political ship has sailed a long time ago..

Excuse me! That’s ‘good low-budget zombie movie from the 70s’.
