Threads is the most fun, most interesting new product of the year, and no one in the E.U. can use it, or will be able to use it anytime soon, because their own elected officials passed a law that effectively bans it.
Nice job. Have fun over here in the library.
@stroughtonsmith @gruber Steve on point!
These are the moments when I don’t understand my American friends’ affinity for Wild West capitalism…
John, that same EU guarantees me that I have free healthcare in any EU country. If I break a leg in Germany or Spain, I’ll be treated the same and will not pay for it.
@michael @stroughtonsmith @gruber Take note, it makes only sure that you will be treated like a local.
Interestingly, how healthcare is handled is more or less up to the MS.
Thus the Irish have a healthcare system that is a mix of the European and a bit of the US one, forcing anyone above an income threshold to get a private insurance. (Which can lead to long waiting times when existing preconditions are uninsured.)
