Allright so France: the minister is trying to make essential people to come back to work (many decided to switch in holiday mode)

suburbs are the home of the pussies.

inner city people are typically either rich fuckers living in sweet condos with private security, or street toughened ghetto n!ggaz.
rural areas are where you have farmer strength and gun nuts; rural folks know how to depend on themselves.
suburbs, on the other hand, are filled with hysterical soccer moms and guys doing pilates.


Pretty bad to paint that, suburds being the cultural heart of murica, soccer moms is my new fetish.

Because we don't go to the hospital often. If we do, it's REALLY serious.

Because a bed in an ICU costs $10k++ in the U.S. - per night! They are a lot more lucrative for hospitals than normal beds.


Btw: here in Germany, we have around 28000 ICU beds for 82m people, which corresponds to 0.34 ICU units per 1k ppl, so more or less the same coverage as in the U.S.

Germany and the United states a relatively close amount of ICU beds per capita. The only thing is that you need to consider the type of ICU bed as well.

That depends...there's quite the debate going on in the Senate on how to administer these funds and where they should actually go. There's been talks of "all at once", "two checks", only giving the money to people in need, or providing the money to healthcare...the list goes on right now. It seems that there's a lot of disagreement on what to do with it.
