Arguably the prices of healthcare are what they are because of the legal institution of insurance and the system of middlemen involved, so it’s not really an example of free markets, but I’ll show myself and my logic outta here ok peace
Wait so is… uhhh how? Like you’re literally not allowed to live somewhere unless you own it?? What about short term rentals and vacations? Or is the idea that we live in some kinda socialist utopia where homes are just idk assigned to people via lottery?

Yeah this is why I really like Lemmy. It feels like early Reddit where people are actually worth talking to. People that can change their minds, or learn, or be kind
Maybe it’s an ego trip, but people seem more engaged with what I have to say here. A lot of the time on Reddit, I’ll say something I think is worthwhile, and then just get some random trolls, or a contrarian, or someone not driven by reason to begin with
Like yes the community is small and maybe shrinking atm, but the quality is pretty high. I like the offbeat memes and all the piracy & tech stuff. I like that the admins seem to care. Content actually gets seen since the volume is not too out of control
Idk how long it’s gonna last, but I think Lemmy is the new sweet spot for the social media refugees
Yeah I agree & don’t have a solution. I’ve also lived under fully socialized healthcare, and that’s quite problematic as well for various reasons including wait times & quality of care / options
