As an Italian, that was indeed a good one! 😅😅😅 Sad but true, maybe people think to solve the problem like that here.
Totally agree. It’s a tendency in all European countries: national healthcare is seen as public expenditure negatively affecting national balance, and private clinics are on the rise. Let’s hope, at least, that taxes will be cut as well, otherwise we’ll end up with a system that has the worst of the European model combined with the worst of the American one.
Thank you I feel less alone! Not sure whether it’s a good thing, anyway. In Italy the government is playing the victim and boiling it all down to the plain old argument of “political interferences in judicial councils”. They are working on a judicial reform which looks much a retaliation, though, which is a little worrying.
Rather than “bored” I’d say “more concerned with other issues”. To some extent it’s already happening: war is no more a trendy news and inflation/unemployment/recession/climate are gaining importance. Unless you live in my country where… uh… trials involving ministers and public officers take half of the screen time on the news. 🇮🇹🤌🍕 (All forms of “mass distraction”)
Surrogacy and, in general, parenthood by LGBT couples is a highly divisive theme where legislation should be extremely cautious since no long-term impacts are available and there is no evidence that they have a positive effect on society. Nonetheless, using them against minorities to justify extreme right wing propaganda and unite against a “common enemy” doesn’t do any good either (and in this case there is clear evidence of where this is leading). I wonder what would happen if LGBT people stopped paying taxes and/or care about their societal duties since they don’t have equal rights.
Not French here, but it’s a common tendency across many western countries. Public education means higher expenditure and some countries are choking with debt so they have to brutally cut funds (education and healthcare are the preferred target, with education being at the first place because consequences are not immediately visible). The problem is not the elites anyway, it’s the rest of people letting them do it and justifying it. If their children will become cheap workforce, their parents will be to blame too.
