Yeah, but all those nations with better healthcare and internet speed hate freedom. Only the market guarantees individual freedom, and individual freedom is more important than healthcare.
Define 'freedom' Private markets don't equal freedom or guarantee good health care.

private markets and media permit the people to talk madd shyt online and on tv, nothing else. Outside of that- there's the illusion of freedom... there is just as much control as there is in some socialist governments.

The difference is the balance. You have to chose the balance you want. Do you want to know exactly how free you are or do you want the illusion of freedom mixed in with bad internet, healthcare, and education- combined with a money controlled political system that lets you pretend to have a real voice?
Or do you want a mixed economy - Reality of living on Earth under governments - plus limited private markets -but also higher infant mortality rates, life expectancy, and better education?

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

Medicine.
Canada has "free' healthcare. Right? What they don't tell you is that if you want to be seen faster for your medical issue, you have to pay up front or have medical insurance. Or, you can wait for the "free" healthcare. Example, you play in a baseball league for recreation. You tear your ACL while playing. You can get free ACL reconstruction surgery. But that is going to take years. You can get it fixed sooner, but you have to pay and/or use medical insurance.

Rap music.
It's all privatized. If you had government-controlled/funded rap-music, it would suck like maybe 90% of the time.
Lets talk about taxes.
Paying my local, state and federal taxes.
It's all good. You get to fund the roads and bridges.
Schools and sanitation department. Aww yeah...
High school football... night lights to win it... you got to pay it to play it.


Something like that. You know, total trash.

a little piece of trivia is that canada use to subsidize rap music, if you were a rapper you could actually apply for a grant to record your music, i dont know if they still do that but it use to be that way in the 90s
