    Weirdest thing? It’s the guns. Definitely the prevalence of guns in the hands of civilians.

    Oh. And also how they eat as if their healthcare was affordable.

      Criticizing how we eat is like criticizing how the pigs in the farm eat.

      We’re not here to be healthy. We’re livestock. Our health only matters insofar as it affects the bottom line.

        I just checked wikipedia. Finland’s murder rate is 0.982 per 100k. Europe as a whole is 2.1 per 100k. US is 5.763 per 100k. So we are over 5 times as likely to be killed. Who would have guessed that rampant inequality paired with having more guns than people was a bad idea.
