they r most def being put through the same wringer over there. i knew that when i saw mask protests in dublin. i was embarrassed for my ppl.
and let’s not forget the mercers, uk citizens.

like here, i think ppl are starting to see the light, tho. there seems to be a move for a referendum on a united ireland. brexit made it a choice btn a united ireland as a part of the eu, or more decades of nonsense. and the irish are tired of the sectarian nonsense.

i wish there was more coverage over here of the nurses strikes, and the nhs battles.
it’s the worst fears of folks here of universal, govt healthcare. i always hated the framing of m4a, instead of fulfill the aca. medicare is better than no ins, but it’s crappy insurance. and it’s crappy because the rw has chipped away at it, and refused to expand it in the face of expensive improvements in healthcare, from jump street.
what the rw has done to education is what they would do to healthcare if they got their grubby mitts on it. everyone but the doctors in that system get starvation wages and all but slave working conditions. there seems to be a ton of sympathy for the strikers.
