"The corruption from the massive industries that control our government’s policies, and the fat complacency of the people to sit around and let it happen."

^^Pretty much sums it up and nails it. Except, it's not the corporations that make the gov bad it's the people in gov that make the gov bad (Obama/Holder/Rubio/McCain/the-rest-of-them).

Bunk! And for Christ sakes, our healthcare system is not 37th in the world, whatever the goddamn WHO says.

"The WHO judged a country's quality of health on life expectancy. But that's a lousy measure of a health-care system. Many things that cause premature death have nothing do with medical care."

"We have far more fatal transportation accidents than other countries. That's not a health-care problem.
Similarly, our homicide rate is 10 times higher than in the U.K., eight times higher than in France, and five times greater than in Canada.

When you adjust for these "fatal injury" rates, U.S. life expectancy is actually higher than in nearly every other industrialized nation."

"Another reason the U.S. didn't score high in the WHO rankings is that we are less socialistic than other nations. What has that got to do with the quality of health care? For the authors of the study, it's crucial. The WHO judged countries not on the absolute quality of health care, but on how "fairly" health care of any quality is "distributed." The problem here is obvious. By that criterion, a country with high-quality care overall but "unequal distribution" would rank below a country with lower quality care but equal distribution."

And our infant mortality rating is 'in the toilet' because in "Murica" when a baby is born prematurely, we 'TRY TO KEEP IT ALIVE' instead of marking it as stillborn or miscarriage. This country is far from perfect, and we are positively idiotic when it comes to choosing our political leadership. And if you don't like it, there's the goddamn door. Don't let it hit you in the ass.

So we're ignorant, ungrateful, cold, passionless, paranoid, impoverished, status-obsessed, and unhealthy.

At least it shows both sides of the issue.

Lost me at Steve Jobs and Edison as well; Bill Gates and Nikola Tesla are the ones who developed the industries those two hacks are known for
