I’m half-wondering if she actually died months ago, and that the powers that be are trying to pretend otherwise.

I always wanted the US to have an integrated health system like ours*, but honestly I don’t think that will ever happen either. Without the US splitting into two or more successor nations, which looks increasingly likely. Or at least that seems more likely than the US getting even a very weak...

When it works, it works surprisingly well. Given that we have no written constitution, and governments can do what they want without the House of Lords, at least when the Lords bother to do their job. (I still want to replace the House of Lords with an elected senate, and have a written...
