    Better systems don’t tie healthcare to jobs, so that’s one stressor that better places don’t have, that threat held over people. They also have paid leave from work and lower cost childcare. Their populations can still decline but they will adapt to manage it and people are happier there. Any chance for those improvements are with the Dem platform and a sustained supermajority, it only gets worse with maga.

      Yeah universal healthcare and affordable childcare would unlock huge amounts of productivity, but the fact that our oligarchs haven’t implemented those things says it’s not actually about productivity, like they claim. It’s about control.
