Opinion Western civilization is heading to a great reset ?

[Why did you]

So, U.S,. Canada, EU ....
Is this true ?
people are complaining more and more on the costs of living, eg average rent in NY is now what like 4k per month ?
Is the system broken ?
How will AI help ?

where is the health insurance , where you actually pay monthly/yearly, then go to doctor and actually pay more in case you visit your doctor

whats happening ?
are people imagining ?

I don't know about a great reset as such but as the number of people of working age start to vastly outnumber the amount of jobs available there's going to have to be a real re-think as to how society works.

Mass immigration is the reason for expensive homes because they are taking away many housing options from young people in the west.

seems like some deep state agenda to try and tank the west

Read the comments in the health care video many people are talking about how Obama care screwed their insurance up. I know people that said the same thing they quite paying for insurance after Obama care because it was too expensive.

But isn’t that the case with almost any insurance?
You pay over a grand a month for a family plan, barely use it, and then get billed again just to see your regular doctor. Wtf is the point of that?

Capitalism certainly can´t keep going in this direction. The greed has gotten completely out of hand. We are definently heading more towards Elysium than Star Trek to use movie/show analogies.

JFC, you people will blame your ED on immigration.

Japan and S. Korea have had their economies declining for decades.

Only if you're a dunce and don't understand how zoning works or the fact that immigrants are critical to construction labor.

 

[Barney Gumble]

we warned about a great reset 5 years ago and leftists swore up and down that it was a conspiracy and they often falsey accused you of being a nazi or white supremacist for saying "globalist", cause that's what those gaslighting pussies do.

but here we are now, with society so bad that no one can deny it anymore and every western country is running the same leftist playbook of anarcho tyranny and open borders. that's the great thing about living in a society that's free falling, it can finally be talked about and no shitlib is gonna interject and say conspiracy theory anymore. they'll rationalize it of course and says "it's a good thing", but they don't say "it's not happening" anymore.

But that still doesn't change the fact that immigration from shithole countries is destroying the West.

My insurance premiums doubled after Obamacare was implemented

The best healthcare plan I ever had was a HSA plan that had low premiums and you put in extra money that went into a savings plan (tax free) that you used to pay for medications and office visits. Usually the employer matches that money you put into it. My premium was only around $100 per month and I'd put around $300 extra for the savings plan and my employer would match it.

My company back then (around 2001-2008) offered HSA's and I jumped on it since I never go to the doctor. My savings plan grew to several thousand dollars quickly. You can also use it at pharmacies to buy OTC medications. My company also showed us how to shop around online pharmacies for generics instead of going through CVS. Then use your card to pay any medications you needed.

People don't realize that typical office visits only cost around $100 if you just pay cash instead of insurance. So that Co-pay means you're paying $25-$30 dollars with insurance covering the rest. But the savings in your monthly premiums more than offsets that... unless you're the kind of person who's habitually in the doctors office.

The problem is that most of the people didn't understand how HSA's were supposed to work. They hated paying "cash price" for stuff. They wanted the discounts for the full insurance plans, even if that meant they were paying through the nose for it. And they're actually getting screwed in the end through higher premiums.

And in case you had a severe issue, the HSA plan kicks in after it's deductible amounts... I think it was $5,000. Then it acted like a normal insurance plan. Which is what anyone has to deal with any insurance plan during any major procedure. However, you're paying your deductable with pre-tax money, which means you're saving around 20%-30% if you're paying your deductible with taxed money.

lol... Add insurance to another topic everyone needs, but no one teaches in Grade School or College

That's fine.

Just understand that it's a worldwide phenomenon with far reaching affects. It's embarrassing when functioning adults scream that it's a conspiracy by the elites to replace white people or whatever.

I don't believe that the people in power are doing this with the sole objective to replace whites, but I do believe they desire an easier population to rule over and that can only happen with ethnically & religiously diverse societies. A diverse society is just easier to control than a homogeneous one because all the different demographic groups are unable to properly organize with each other to rebel against the establishment because they don't see eye to eye on so many issues and very often hate each other. This is simple divide & rule and it's been used by people in power for millennia.

Just think - the politicians will speak in nothing but glowing terms about diversity... whilst never actually living in a diverse neighbourhood themselves. It's like a chef who doesn't eat his own food. It should make us all suspicious. Do you think Keir Starmer wants to send his (Jewish) children to a school surrounded by Somali, Pakistani, Afghan, Syrian etc kids? We all know the answer. But he expects us to do exactly that. They all do. So they're very much of the 'do as I say, not as I do' mindset. They constantly condemn racism, whilst being amongst the most racist people on the planet. And worse still, they're hypocrites about it.
