Brexit is whatever, but domestic policy is going to be really grim.

The free market will improve efficiency because companies will have profit motives. That's how it works, right?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

And what's more efficient than cutting costs like not treating parasitic poors?

Yup. We're living this reality in the US right now. A voice was given to these cretins and that's all they needed to start pushing away the light in favor of the darkness.

I fear you're right. I just saw a poll that said only Biden would beat Trump in Wisconsin right now. I struggle to understand how that can be true, but I'm not shocked that it is.
