Ross, buddy, Singapore is orders of magnitude more homogenous than the US. Of course healthcare will be cheaper there. Industrializing customizability is hard.

mitigatedchaos

Forget the fact that Singapore is something like 75% ethnic Chinese. The government there is just flat out more competent, responsive, and self-disciplined. You and I both know, Slart, that the Central Provident Fund (and its component healthcare programs) cannot exist in the United States of America because even if it weren’t shot down as evil anti-freedom paternalism, it would be raided for either tax cuts (Republicans) or social programs (Democrats) within ten years of its creation.

That’s fair.

Hopefully we can automate medical specialist jobs soon.

Look Slart, all I’m saying is that I should be made technocratic dictator of the North American Union. Then I can enact thousands of weird ideological trades and replace congress with a legislature made up of delegated voting think tanks that bet competitively on the outcomes of their laws to determine their funding.

It’ll be great.

@mitigatedchaos/Kanye 2020

You say that now, but once I enact 7-part Regional Federalism in order to ease the introduction of Mexico and Canada into the NAU, your opinion on Vice Director Kanye and I may change.

The Bible posits that the circumference of a circle in the Temple was three times its diameter, but π≈3.14,

tired: therefore gods don’t exist

wired: therefore circles were smaller back then

mitigatedchaos

This is just a statistical error.  The circumference of the median circle is π times its diameter.  The Cosmic Negacircle which rests in the Vaults Beyond Time and has a circumference of -1*(10^2470) times its diameter is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Lets say no one used nukes or chemical weapons, how devastating would a world war on the same scale as the previous 2 in numbers be but with modern weaponry?

I don’t think that’s a feasible scenario.

“Hahaha,” laughed the CPC Chairman, gesturing towards the smog-choked city outside. “Now this mess is your problem instead of mine! I’m free! I’m free!”

Mr. Liu continued to laugh as the NATO soldiers lead him away towards the armored convoy.

Conversely, Chinese soldiers in the streets of Washington DC will be greeted as liberators.

No, you see, they support California’s secession as a pretext to partition the US and establish a presence in North America.

mitigatedchaos

At this point, I have to wonder if the Communist Party of China could govern California better than the California voters.  

Alternatively…

“Yes,” said the technician.  “We got the test results back, and well…”  The look on her face was very grim.

Bernstein was aghast.  They had all agreed to pass the law.  They had all agreed that it was wrong and immoral to have sexual thoughts about others who didn’t want to be thought of sexually.  

And, since one couldn’t know who was or was not okay with being thought of sexually beforehand, it was a moral necessity that humanity should default to asexuality.  Gender discrimination and sexual crimes had dropped off significantly.  Only an underground of resentful dissidents had refused to comply.

“Surely it can’t be,” said Bernstein.  “She couldn’t be that reckless.  It’s impossible.”  He let out a second “impossible” under his breath, just barely audible, as he stared at the technician.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Bernstein,” said the technician, “she’s sex-positive.”
