Spain. I have private health insurance (it’s quite affordable here).

If you are dying, use the public services. They will do whatever it takes (under their material resources) to save you.

If you want comfort and probably reduce waiting times, go private. Public hospitals have long waits for anything that’s not immediately disabling/life threatening.

Example. My dad had a fall at home alone and broke his femur. He used his telemedicine device to call for help. When I got at his home, the paramedics were already there. They stabilised him, put him in ambulance and brought him to a public hospital. The same evening he had a titanium inserted. After five days in the hospital he was transferred to a recovery center.

Guess the cost?

Zero euros.

Well, fortunately I dodged that bullet. Atheist since 13 years old.

Most of ‘us’ were street smart in our glory days and would not have fallen to the current day scams then. But even without dementia involved, our cognitive abilities degrade and our ability to adapt to changes slows down.

Unfortunately, your generation will get there too.

Try Barcelona suburban rail service (aka ‘Rodalies RENFE’).

Please yes

Well, we (boomers) actually invented the PC…

The EU commission and the EU in general works always trying to descalate first, because usually a not-so-good deal is better than a war, even a trade one.

So trying to get a deal is fine imho.

Now there it comes the second stage. Got and tried a deal, the other party does not keep its side. Unleash the kraken and go for them. Go nuclear, start dumping US bonds and trade with the rest of the world in Renmibi (we don’t want the Euro to be the world reseve currency, no thanks).

Hit them where it hurts.

Nah. Just make them street illegal.

What about a Stinger missile?

Why not both?

I have. It was a friend who already had two kids, didn’t want (or couldn’t raise) more. She arranged the procedure as soon as she found she was pregnant again. Went to the appointment, got the embryo removed and that was all.

And it was ok, it was her decision (supported by her partner by the way) and nobody should have a shit to say about that.

A piece of shit doing shitty things. News at 9.

Hunting rifles count in this statistic

So they will ‘face’ the same stuff Europeans used to ‘face’ when entering the US.

So?

Doesn’t Canada have a land border with Denmark in one Arctic island or something similar?

Says the country which provides Russia with a fuckton of drones used to bomb Ukrainian cities.

Nice meme, but in RealityLand…

Fascism usually doesn’t recover from a leader loss for years.

Historical examples: Mussolini, Franco, Pinochet.

Yup, I’ve got one! Now guess my age!
