Don’t forget that it’s the employer paying the shitty wage that is the one screwing over the worker. This is exactly what those employers want, to be able to pay shitty wages and have the blame shifted to someone else.

Glad to see someone say this. It’s a total appeal to authority argument. With they would’ve explained why they think it’s bad and let us come to our own conclusion.
Globally, only one in 50 new cars were fully electric in 2020, and one in 14 in the UK. Sounds impressive, but even if all new cars were electric now, it would still take 15-20 years to replace the world’s fossil fuel car fleet....
When I did groceries with a bike I just used a backpack and made more frequent trips. I think it was practical because going more frequently meant I had more fresh foods and could get just a thing or 2 to utilize other things I already had on hand. It also helped get in a little extra exercise. Granted, this was shopping for 2 and not 4.
Moving things is still probably going to require a car but that’s more of an edge case and not a daily thing.
Totally agree. However, I think the word you’re describing is choice rather than freedom. You’re always free to purchase what you want, nobody forcing you. It’s just good to have choices.
Do you think it’s a waste of resources to even give him a trial? Death penalty trials are long and expensive and often cost more than lifelong incarceration. You might be okay with a low bar for having the government remove someone from society but I think the bar should be high, and the decision shouldn’t be done lightly. However, keeping that bar high also takes more resources so the issue isn’t as easy as you make it out to be.
This is the problem. These services have successfully pitted you against the customer. If you are not happy with the pay, your issue is with the employer, not the customer.
These services do pay drivers and it’s not enough. Instead of paying more, they redirect you to the customer for the rest, and in some cases you just get screwed. But it’s the service screwing you, not the customer.
I like the motto of optimizing for the things I do more frequently, not for the edge cases. It’s up to you to decide where that line is. But maybe if the need for something larger is rare enough, you can find another option like renting something. I know renting is a pain, but if it’s rare you don’t have to do it all that much.

Maybe the issue isn’t private medicine. Like you said, both have private medicine but Germany doesn’t have the same issues as the US. One difference is public insurance. I know there is Medicare, but that’s only for older folks.
Do you have do any examples of these regulations that exist in the US but not in Germany or other countries with better access to healthcare?
In terms of insurance, are you saying that Germany actually has more competition in that space compared to on the US side?
Competition can help lower prices with things like collective bargaining. It’s the reason that Canada pays less for drugs, because they can negotiate prices on behalf of the whole country. However, the US has more competition and several private insurance companies, each are only able to negotiate on behalf of their relatively small groups and thus are not able to negotiate as good of prices.
Many countries outside of the US provide better access to healthcare for less and I’m not convinced it is because those systems have better competition in the ways you are suggesting, but I’d be happy to learn more.
