Where is the U.S. in these world rankings?

[PoliticalChic]

Out of the gate the three-legged OP blames Trump. He's still butt-hurt over the election:

Top 10 education system in the world: Directly the fault of the left. Schools can't discipline, teachers are spoiled and protected under teacher's unions, and fucking college systems have safe spaces with educations informally majoring in the liberal arts. Course liberals declare more cash would make it all better. Who ever said these people were cause and effect correct?

Top 10 health care systems in the world: Most of these systems are broke. That or they're dealing with hard working honorable people, or they're small and a controlled environment. We're not that. How many of these countries have the immigration problem of the USA? Perhaps you should move to China and give us a first hand report on their righteous healthcare plan.

Top 10 transportation systems in the world: I'm mother fucking laughing my ass off at comparing the transportation systems on postage stamps to the USA. Seriously, you and the source of this data need to get a grip.

CHINA is #7 in Healthcare, and they have the largest population in the World. There is no way to gloss over the fact that your healthcare system is broken - utterly and completely. You have the most expensive system in the world, and the only first world country not to provide healthcare to everyoneone.

Your healthcare system spends 1/3 of the money spent on administration - everyone else pays less than 10%. Your doctors have to hire 3rd party billing companies to deal with insurance companies, extra staff for "pre-approvals", and requires battling your insurance company for remuneration. All of this costs money, and none of it helps people to get well. Insurance companies are more interesting in mitigating claims and reducing payments, that in providing the coverages they promised.

Schools can't discipline??? How are all these students being expelled then. Blaming teachers instead of blaming the REPUBLICAN bureaucreats at the state level who set the cirriculum, purchase the textbooks, and set the tests. States control the schools, and what's taught in the classroom, and the states are mostly Republicans.

Republicans have been politicizing the education in the hopes of turning out good little conservatives. Religious schools (which really exist to ensure racial segregation) teach Creationism and that science is bunk. Great way to prepare the next generation who are being taught math, science and technology in Canada, Europe and Asia.

America lead the world for so long because their education system was the best. But like everything else, Republicans want to end it because they want to cut taxes. Picking up the peanuts while being trampled by the elephants.

You believe what the Chinese government says.....?



their cities shut down because of pollution, they are throwing themselves off the roofs of buildings in their factory cities.....

And they have no women for their men.....since they had a policy of killing female children under their one child policies.....

Please...tell us again what a paradise China is.....

And....they believe Michael Moore's propaganda....taken right from the Castros.

.....we have been told that the United States is listed at number 37 in world ranking for health care. Here is why only fools and America-bashers attribute any significance to this rating: WHO/UN states that their data “is hampered by the weakness of routine information systems and insufficient attention to research” and when they couldn’t find data, they “developed [data] through a variety of techniques.”
WHO accepts whatever governments tell them, including reputable regimes such as Castro’s Cuba.

Every single First World Country can point to a list of discoveries and inventions made by their countrymen - EVERY SINGLE ONE. The US is not unique in that regard. But notice that your list ends in 1982, when conservatives began to dismantle the US public school education system, and tax cutting became all the rage.

Living on past glories while dismantling the public education system which produced these people is the very definition of stupid.

Let's look at Finland's inventions..


11 inventions you didn't know were Finnish - Big In Finland

Yea I have one of these

The dish draining closet

Draining the dishes in a little closet. Practical. Award winning.

The “Finnish Invention Foundation” named this closet “one of the most important Finnish inventions of the millennium”. For real. A Finnish inventor called Maiju Gebhard invented this closet during the later years of the WWII to improve the drying process of dishes. It was developed within the “Finnish Association for Work Efficiency”. For real. I am not making this up.

Although we recognize here that it is very practical and – since it was an award-winning invention – important, we must admit that it hasn’t been adapted worldwide yet – unlike two Spanish inventions: the lolly pop and the mop.

Agreed on the education. Our government run system is massively expensive and totally ineffective. We need to rethink the whole thing. Obviously throwing money at it isn't the solution.

As for healthcare, that's just a list of socialist policies and welfare recipients getting free care, it doesn't give a damn about the people paying for it.

On transpiration, comparing us to all those far more densly populated countries is ridiculous

 

[Wyatt earp]

What countries are on the bottom?

Let's see if this fucking moron has the guts to list them.

Let's see.

Worst education:

So what you're saying is we're fucked, but anyone who wants to change that is your enemy. So typical of regressives, we waste more money than anyone on most of these but with regressives more money is always the answer, they are never willing to challenge our methods. Run along child, your BS is getting old.

There ia plenty of waste alright but from my knowledge of working with various public private venture and public only the waste comes when they farm something out to private... The private company does exactly what is in the contract...

Here is an example...
My local hospital farmed out the cleaning of the hospital to private contractors. The contractors do what they are told and keep the minimum staff on to satisfy the contract. They were there to make a profit for the contractor. The old public cleaning staff had more cleaners and couldn't compete with this minimum offering.
The contract started, soon the hospital found the place getting more grubby and asked for it to be cleaned.. The private contractor added a premium and cleaned more... The extra was mounting.
The one thing about the original staff is they knew how the hospital ran and they knew the operating theatres needed staff on hand (outside the door) to clean theatre between ops... Surgeons would have ops back to back all day... The Contract staff pointed to the contract and said that is not what the contract and eventually we had surgeons cleaning theatres rather than preping for next patient.
Because of the budget problems the cleaning began to wane and viruses got into the hospital and this was vastly more expensive than any possible savings...
So when asked about these savings we say you can't afford to be that cheap.

Sounds to me like you had some bad administration that had no clue as to what the hospital really needed when they let the contract. Don't blame the contractor for doing the job they were hired to do in the manner specified by the contract.

 

[Conservative65]

I'm still wondering why you're here is you think it's so bad. If you think something is bad yet stay there, the idiot is you.

Nitwit........have you ever read how "easy" it is to gain citizenship in most European countries? Or Canada, Australia, New Zealand? Check it out (besides listening to Sean Hannity)

I LOVE the U.S.and want my country to be better.

Since what you support will only make it worse, you're either an idiot, a liar, or some combination of both.

Go ahead, explain that. One of 36 companies.

LOL!!!

Fucking morons.

First of all, you seem confused about what is public policy and what is science.

As for science, the answer is in - humans ARE making a noticeable difference in earth's temperature.

As for public policy, when we give huge federal financial support to the fossil fuel industry, it does make it harder to move toward other energy sources. I don't know anyone who has suggested that isn't the case.

This is one of the problems with capitalism - it's hard to make progress when our own policy slows the short term profit required to make capitalism work.
