I had a kidney stone crisis in Portugal. Spent 3 hours in the ER getting ultrasounds and fluids. Was sen home w some every effective pain med for a total of $70. The US is a third world country when it comes to health care.

Don’t worry. They’re not fucking 3rd world countries like the fucking US here.

I am convinced that if there was a vote that we could get a really good universal health care system (like Germany or Finland) AND better public transportation network where all we’d have to give up are the fucking guns, it would not have a chance of passing.

I see this being the butt of jokes in most other countries for some time.

William Randall Franklin reportedly opened fire on the two men coming onto his property for help. Both Cauthen and the driver, who has not been named, were also armed and returned fire. All three men were hit by gunfire at some point, leaving Cauthen dead and sending both Franklin and the driver to the hospital for…

Certainly looks better than the new US Mail truck, it’s one goofy looking SOB

Well, for me the UK is a few hours by train (Channel Tunnel) or ferry, since I’d only need to cross the North Sea.

I have never understood why train crashes happen other than human stupidity. This is as controlled an environment as you could hope for with a fast-moving object: a train can move one of two possible directions and can only move on a fixed path. They make noise, be it from the vibrations in the rails, the flashing…

Except for the blue lights I could see doing this on our side of the pond. Oh, and the right hand drive, Oh never mind the RHD that would really freak people

At least there wasn’t a handcuffed person locked in the police cruiser this time.

We left England to create a country where we could freely shoot each other. Pew! Pew!

London might have higher crime rates than the rest of the UK, but it’s still far lower than almost anywhere in the the US.

Cops who actually know the law? They only focus on loopholes, to wit: you can repeatedly beat someone with a nightstick so long as you keep saying the two magic words, “STOP RESISTING”.

I’ve seen that video. As much as I’m pissed about cops not knowing the most basic facts about the law, that was a really unique scenario. Plus that guy has Lambo money, he’ll be fine.

Truth Social, probably

““I appreciate the fact that it’s drawing attention to the fact that we’d like people to slow down and not be on their phones”

Not in Colorado but on my street there is a stop sign that is always ignored, one day while walking the dogs in a ravine I saw a broken traffic sign that indicated ‘camera monitored intersection’ so being a lawful kinda guy I dragged it out and left it for the traffic department. Oops I meant I took the sign home and…

We would reduce road fatalities if only we had more guns.

I’m in Denmark at the moment. I live in the US but the Octavia Combi or Scala would be perfect. Not a wagon, but another unobtanium car I like is the Peugeot 208.

We should absolutely be fining loud babies. Lots of people enjoy the sound of a Lambo, no one is saying “oh cool a screaming baby”
