Wait 'til they found out about maps.

If it's not about the craft itself (structure, grammar, punctuation etc), pretty much all writing advice is self-serving bollocks and can be ignored.

- OUT NOW!!! Vault 641: A Horror Short Story.
amzn.eu/d/fZOeGwG
Beneath the cobbled streets of 18th-century Edenkirk, the poor live and die in darkness, crammed into underground vaults where disease, despair, and cruelty thrive. But something far worse lurks below the surface...

Hey, some of us English completely agree with Scotland's right to independence.
Some of us same English would also quite like to move to Scotland permanently...

Yeah, that's appalling and I hope you can overturn it somehow. As a Brit, even the original quote of £13k is unthinkable.
Please don't take my comments as bragging or anything like that - I genuinely hope your politicians see sense and move closer to what we have over here and throughout Europe.

Watching on from the UK, wondering how the fuck this is even under discussion. Healthcare is a basic human right, not a luxury item.
It's disgraceful, abhorrent, and unthinkable for pretty much the entire rest of the planet.

I'm certain you already know this, but it's worth repeating: In the UK, that would have cost nothing. Zero pounds, zero pence.

The very idea that healthcare can be 'taken away' at all is abhorrent and unthinkable to pretty much the entire rest of the planet.
The US needs to do something drastic, or the gap will only get bigger.

Here in the UK, the government has just rolled out free breakfast clubs in ALL schools, which is a massive benefit to the kids themselves and also to less well-off and/or single, workong parents.
That's the kind of shit you guys neex, not tacky golden ornaments...

...and even less about who is actually paying the tariffs.

I feel like many Americans miss this important point.
We certainly aren't paying them... (we= 🇬🇧)

My word... I have a heart condition, and the only - ONLY - cost I incur is £9.90 for my medication, 4 times per year.
Thank the old gods and the new for the NHS. 🇬🇧

The US healthcare system is a disgrace. I had a full checkup yesterday which included checking my blood pressure, blood samples, an ECG, and a flu shot (🇬🇧) and just walked out. Not a penny exchanged.
Out taxes are automatically taken before we even see our paycheck/slip, so we don't even notice it.

Looks like Kosovo. How are they surviving day to day in such a hostile warzone?
