Absurdity

Ukrainian, Russian, Canadian, I don't care, just all human. Don't let politics, borders, governments divide us and make us fight. Stand united for peace and goodwill among and to all. Ignore the leaders and identities, we are all just people.

We do not get to choose where we are born, and while I would prefer a world without borders and an very ease of travel, it is hard to change nations. So I feel there should be a duty of care that countries have to their citizens.

By providing basic universal healthcare they are able to reduce costs and increase efficiencies, in part by doing bulk purchases and treating things on a larger scale.

I think in return people have a duty of care as well, to themselves. To keep up on preventative maintenance on their bodies, to help keep costs low by dealing with things before they are an issue. Why I feel a yearly doctors visit should be required. We should stop thinking we are entitled to everything just for being born. Sure it would be amazing to just wander around and see the world, different scapes and animals, just live with nature, but that isn't the world we are born with. We can keep hope and dreaming of a zombie apocalypse or some end of world event so we are left to the world in peace, but reality is we are born to a world full of people and need to co exist with them. The best thing for society thing is to co exist together and help each other out all we can.

So the old debate of weighing the rights of the individual versus the needs of the whole group. What takes precendce, the need of everyone to keep healthcare affordable and usable or a person's right to at least have dominion over their own body? I don't have an answer to that myself, it can vary. The severity of the issue, how beneficial the cure can be. I feel one of most amazing accomplishments was the complete eradication of polio worldwide. We as a species on every part of this globe came together and made a whole disease disappear. Something we can't even see with the naked eye. That to me has been one of the pinnacles of human achievement.

Can't wait until their industry is automated and then they can maybe go get an education. Yes I know it's not all truckers, just a small vocal minority. But if the majority doesn't shout them back down they are just as complacent.

Sadly most of the time people can't seem to respectfully and civilly talk about the price if they feel it is over-priced. They assume the person is a bad person and start treating them like that, as if we all shouldn't be treated the same anyway. Very few people actually respectfully let the seller know they may have over-priced.

I see it like the CBC, it is good and important to have broadcasting that is non profit and more capable of supporting local media as opposed to the bit companies who just stream whatever. I remember when Winnipeg had all these local channels that have now disappeared or been bought out and now just have shows that are like franchised across channels bought by the parent company, syndicated. We need good local public broadcasting.

First of all I think it is important to discuss universal healthcare on its own. It should in my opinion be a basic right of any person to receive full health care coverage where reasonable. This would include dental, pharmaceuticals, eyesight, etc. Perhaps a subsidized cost based on income, but it should be easily and readily available.
