The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

How do you measure better outcomes. You mention heart bypass but you don't provide the numbers which is a bit suspicious.

I only ask questions i know the answer to. I’m also not obligated to do your homework for you.

So. Let’s see if there are any logic skills here. If, Dope1, am asking about the wait time difference between the US (no socialized medicine) and the UK (has the NHS) in cardiac bypass surgery wait times…what might you deduce the answer is?

The U.S. has a shorter life expectancy of 4 t 5 years than other developed countries.

Americans don’t exercise as much as others, work very hard late in life and eat a lot of processed foods.

Gun violence doesn’t explain the rates of MI or other heart diseases in the US. That’s a red herring of an argument.

You can drop and give me 20 also.
