Our Future in Healthcare?

December 17, 2022December 17, 2022 ~ archercrosley

Anyone who thinks that centralized, socialized healthcare is a great thing only needs to turn on the television set and look to the United Kingdom with regard to their current healthcare problems.

Anyone who thinks that centralized, socialized healthcare is a panacea that will solve our problems only needs to watch Prime Minister’s questions as their parliament debates healthcare in the United Kingdom.

It’s not a bowl of cherries.

It’s not a bed of roses.

They haven’t discovered the holy grail to healthcare.

People in the UK are not uniformly happy with the healthcare they’re getting.

What’s going on over there now is that nurses are going on strike.

They want more pay.

It’s creating quite the controversy.

Operations are being delayed.

People are upset.

What are they to do?

Well, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

You can’t have centralized healthcare run by the government and not have countrywide strikes.

Big government invites big business and big labor.

There are no two ways about it.

If you don’t want countrywide strikes you have to decentralize your healthcare.

You have to break up the big corporations who are benefiting off healthcare.

Because big corporations siphon off huge amounts of dollars by virtue of the fact that they are buddies with their friends in the government there is huge waste of money in their healthcare system. Ours too.

That leaves less money for the workers.

It also means that services have to be cut back.

What ensues is a penny-pinching system for the poor and middle class, but a bonanza for the rich money grubbing corporations.

That’s our future here in the United States.

It used to be in the United States that healthcare and its attendant services were readily available.

You could get an operation at any time. You could get an MRI at anytime. You could get lab at any time.

That’s not the way it is now.

Increasingly it is becoming more difficult to get healthcare in the United States as insurers make patients jump through hoops to get their services.

That’s not what we want. We don’t want to become the UK.

We want the government to have less control when it comes to financing healthcare.

We want the government to do what it does best: regulate (and I don’t mean phony regulation designed to stamp out the small guy).

We want the government to stop doing what it does worst: financing.

Our solution is their solution.

They need to break up their large pharmaceutical corporations in order to drive pharmacy costs down.

They need to break up their large hospital system into a series of independent hospitals that compete with each other for healthcare services.

They need to limit the size of their hospitals while allowing the free market to create more of them.

They need to limit the size of all the corporations that are involved in healthcare.

Healthcare is not a place to get rich.

Healthcare is not the same as the Ford Motor Company.

Healthcare is a place where you can make a nice amount of money.

There is no place for Warren Buffett in healthcare.

There is no place for any billionaire in healthcare.

There is no place for crony capitalists in healthcare.

There is no place for poorly educated Wharton School graduates in healthcare.

There is no place for ignorant CEOs who say things like this: “At Iroquois Foods, we have a saying: If you don’t grow, you go.”

Nor is there a place for the ignorant, stupid Harvard Business School graduate, who says: “The purpose of a business is to make money.”

Veto, veto, veto, you big idiot.

Healthcare is different than other businesses.

You can’t possibly equate healthcare and the auto industry.

Your car dealer is only too happy to sell you the most expensive car. Whether you can afford it or not is your problem.

Healthcare is different.

Our job in healthcare is to get the patient better.

A patent’s financial condition is part of their health. For that reason, we have to be cognizant of providing inexpensive, affordable and accessible healthcare for people.

That means we can’t rape the people financially as the large corporations do.

We can’t put them out on the street with expensive healthcare costs.

We also can’t ration healthcare.

Nor can we strike across the country whenever it suits our fancy.

The only way to do that is to decentralize healthcare under sensible controls set by the federal government.

It’s not the government’s job to make crony capitalists rich.

It’s the governments job to create a level, competitive playing field which provides affordable and accessible healthcare for all.

That doesn’t exist in the United States.

Nor does it exist in the United Kingdom.

And if you don’t believe me, turn on Prime Minister’s questions.

What you see is going on there is our future unless we make sensible changes right now.

Sincerely,

What Can The UK Do

November 26, 2022November 25, 2022 ~ archercrosley

What can the UK do to improve its financial condition?

The United Kingdom is currently undergoing a financial crisis.

It is the only country in Europe to be undergoing a crisis to the degree that it is.

Inflation is at 11%.

What gives?

Is it Brexit?

Hardly.

The UK sits only 500 away from Norway, and Norway is booming.

If Norway is flush in oil and gas, why can’t the UK be flush in oil and gas?

It can be, but not until structural changes are made within the mindset of the people in the UK.

What is hurting the UK is its aristocracy and the attendant notion that people deserve to live a better life because of their birth, not their ability and willingness to work, and do good things.

This aristocracy in the United Kingdom is killing its own people.

The people are beaten down spiritually. They are so beaten down, they don’t know that they’re beaten down anymore.

The ideology of a royal family and its attendant aristocracy are most prominent in the United Kingdom.

There’s no other country in Europe that celebrates its monarchy like the United Kingdom.

After the two world wars, the rest of Europe moved forward and away from its monarchs.

Not so, the United Kingdom.

The citizens of the UK are rather proud of that. They think that makes them great.

Again, not so.

This idolatry and privilege accorded to the royal family is demoralizing when times are tough.

It is galling to people to live under austerity when the king and his family are prancing around the world living the wine and pheasant life.

Of course, the royal family is just the tip of the iceberg. They are merely representative of the British upper class, who likewise prance around the world living lives free of stress and austerity.

It is destructive to the psych of the nation when Prince Andrew is caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but not held accountable for his crimes.

The average person sees these events and then silently asks himself: Why?

He concludes that the system is rotten and stacked against him. Maybe he should not care so much about his country anymore? Maybe he should leave. Maybe he should not work so hard.

It’s not just Prince Andrew’s crimes that bother him.

It’s the crimes of the rest of the characters in the aristocracy.

The other members of the aristocracy enjoy a similar level of immunity, albeit less than Prince Andrew’s.

This immunity is exercised.

In other words, the rich get away with fucking over the people.

The people see this.

The result is a society that works less efficiently than it should.

When you rid yourself of your aristocracy, you send a powerful message to yourself and your fellow citizens.

You say to yourself that it’s not okay for the people to get away with crimes because of their birthright.

It’s not okay for people to enjoy certain privileges because of their birthright.

This idea applies not only to titled mobility but monied nobility as well.

Currently the sodomizers in the City of London and the privileged cocksuckers who lead Westminster are able to pass laws and conduct financial policy which cements their authority over the people of the United Kingdom to an excessive degree.

They weaken the people of the United Kingdom.

They permit massive illegal immigration, which sucks vital money from the people. Illegal immigration creates cheap labor, and it increases the overall tax burden.
They permit bond dealers to engage in all sorts of financial shenanigans. It was this unpunished bond market chicanery, which led to the downfall of Liz Truss. This is how they got their boy, Rishi, in there.
They create and permit inefficiencies within the NHS which only serves to enrich the crony capitalists who make a fortune supplying the needs of the NHS.
They send money to Ukraine, money better served by helping the poor and needy in the UK.

These strategies listed above, and there are many more, are not unintentional. They are prosecuted by an aristocracy through their compliant politicians in order to cement their power over the people.

As long as the people are weak, they are less likely to rebel.

The thinking of the aristocracy goes like this: If we can weaken people, financially, and physically, we can keep our foot atop them. We can keep them in a dependent position.

The people accept this because they have been beaten down over the years to accept an aristocracy which they consider better than themselves.

It is a codependent relationship between the elite and the poor.

Knowing this is the first step to the UK ridding itself of its albatross.

The British aristocracy is an albatross upon the people of the United Kingdom.

When the people wake up and realize this, then they will have the opportunity to live a better life.

Austerity is an avoidable event.

Sincerely,

Archer Crosley

What’s It All About, Alfie?

November 2, 2022November 1, 2022 ~ archercrosley

Why is this illegal immigration occurring here in the United States?

Why is illegal immigration occurring in the United Kingdom?

Are you surprised?

The British people are. They want to know why, after disengaging the UK from the European Union, their leaders are allowing immigrants to flood into their country faster than Prince Andrew can fuck an underage girl?

Would you be surprised to know that the United States and Great Britain move lockstep politically and economically?

Sure, there are always differences, but for the most part they move together.

Why is that?

What is going on here?

What’s going on here is that the corporate cabal that has bought off our politicians is the same corporate cabal that has bought off British politicians.

The politicians don’t give a fuck what the people think. Only at election time do they give half a fuck, if there is such a thing.

The politicians do what the corporate cabal wants them to do.

In the United States that corporate cabal is the Harvard Cabal. In the United Kingdom it’s the Oxford Cabal.

They work together. They are the twin towers of global war and global exploitation.

And those motherfuckers want those immigrants to flood into the country.

Why?

Why would they want all these immigrants?

For many reasons.

Number one, they act as a source of cheap labor to keep emerging unions in check.

They also act as a source of cheap labor for migrant work.

But those are not the main reason I suspect.

The main reason is to act as a source of military recruits for their next war.

Let’s face it, the next generation of pampered billionaire parasites has to be fed.

Wag, wah, wah, screams the useless child of the ruling billionaire elitist, where’s my war. I want to be a multibillionaire too, mommy.

Not to worry, son, we are engineering a brand new war for you.

Stop, I want to ingrain a word into your head.

Sahel.

What’s that you say?

Sahel is the sub-Saharan region in Africa.

I fear that is the next major battleground for our global killing machine.

There must be a lot of resources there.

The French are already there. If the French are there the Americans can’t be far behind. And I wouldn’t be surprised if American troops already are there.

If we do go there to fight a major war, these newly arrived immigrants will be used to fight that war.

It’s a new form of colonialism. It’s called neocolonialism. You go into a nation that gained its independence in the middle of the last century, and you balkanize it. You balkanize it through war. Different indigenous factions will control nonvital territories. You will control the vital territories that yield the booty. You will then directly confiscate the assets for yourself.

The governments of the United States and the United Kingdom will simply make these new immigrants an offer they can’t refuse: Fight our war for us and we will give you citizenship with no questions asked.

That’s a winner for the elites.

It’s not much of a winner for the immigrants and their families. Many of those immigrants will die in this useless war to come.

And it won’t get any better for the people of United Kingdom or the United States. Your lot in life will grow smaller.

Trillions of dollars will be printed to give to the ruling elite who own the corporations that supply the war machine.

As I’ve stated many times before it’s not just defense contractors who will make money. All corporations will make money.

All corporations will make money because when you fight a war on another continent, you have to re-create Corpus Christi, Texas and everything in it from the ground up in order to fight that war.

And I mean everything. Roads, infrastructure, housing, everything in the housing, pictures, lamps, magazines, televisions, coffee tables, chairs, pillows, food, ice cream, paper clips, are you getting the idea?

E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

Even McDonalds and Starbucks are in on the game.

Who’s going to get rich in that?

The owners of the corporations. The ruling class. The monied class.

Who’s not going to get rich?

You.

That’s what the illegal immigration is all about, Alfie. It hurts you in so many ways. It keeps labor prices down. It keeps you fighting with each other over illegal immigration. It enriches the large corporations. It keeps war going.

Sayonara, Suckers.

Sincerely,

Regime Change Rishi

October 26, 2022 ~ archercrosley ~ 1 Comment

So what was Liz Truss’s resignation all about?

As an American who is not exposed to British affairs all day long, I was somewhat mystified.

Why were the markets roiled over her policies?

I thought her energy cap for the poor was good. I thought her tax cuts for high earners making 160,000 pounds and up was good.

I don’t see people making 160,000 pounds as rich people who have the money to purchase yachts and mansions around the world.

There’s certainly not in Johnny Depp territory. Johnny Depp can afford to buy entire villages in France.

So what gives?

Liz Truss graduated from Oxford. She was certainly in the club.

Or so I thought.

Why would the power elite be upset with her?

Well, it sure wasn’t because of the policies.

It is now clear to me.

I was listening to Mike Graham’s show on Talk TV.

A caller, a native Brit, called in to inform the listeners that Truss’s apparent successor Rishi Sunak was a billionaire.

I immediately began to research him on Wikipedia.

Well, he’s not quite a billionaire yet. But he by virtue of marrying his wife is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Not only that.

He graduated from Oxford and Stanford, and he worked at Goldman Sachs.

So there you have it, he’s another Goldman Sachs jerk off placed in a high position of power.

I’ll bet you the power elite are salivating today.

What a winner for them.

They were the ones who created the bond crisis through their speculative investments and their compliant paid-off main stream media, which was able to spread the fear amongst other bond traders, and they’re the ones who will be the chief beneficiary of the regime change in the United Kingdom.

This is a dark day for the United Kingdom.

It’s also an enlightening day, because if you can’t see now that the game is rigged against regular people, you’ll never be able to see it.

Wait and see what happens now.

Another great crisis is sure to ensue which will put more money in the hands of big banks and big corporations.

A new round of money printing will begin which will make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Corporations are getting an erection.

No bond market will be roiled now.

The specters of money printing and inflation will disappear now that the power elite have their man in charge.

Oh, but conspiracies can’t happen.

Sure.

Sincerely,

Archer Crosley

Wrestling with Sanity in the UK

September 14, 2020September 14, 2020 ~ archercrosley ~ Leave a comment

What do I think of Boris Johnson’s policy of restricting gatherings to six people?

What do I think of Operation Moonshot?

Let me begin by telling you about one of my favorite movies that I like to quote.

It’s called Barton Fink; and in this movie a screenwriter asks a studio boss a few questions about a movie that the studio boss wants written.

The studio boss looks at the screenwriter and says: It’s a wrestling movie; what do you need, a roadmap?

When I first heard that line in the movie theater, I nearly fell out of my seat laughing.

Why do we laugh at such simple lines that merely state the obvious?

I suppose we laugh because when people state the obvious to a clueless person, and we hear it, our mind must protect itself with an emotional release of pleasure (laughter); because if it didn’t, our minds would implode with anger.

So we can either get angry, or we can laugh.

Which is why we must laugh at the Prime Minister’s new restrictions on gatherings. Which is why we must laugh at Operation Moonshot.

A better name might be Operation Longshot.

Or, Operation Sureshot, because it’s sure not to work, it’s sure to be a boondoggle for corporations selling unreliable tests, and it’s sure to be another monumentally stupid idea from the government.

The name itself is beyond silly. The actual practice of it is beyond ludicrous.

I won’t even go into the testing aspect of Operation Moonshot. Let’s leave that alone for now. Plenty of other people can denounce that.

I am more concerned with the Prime Minister’s new social distancing guidelines. I find these far more dangerous.

No more than six people can congregate?

So, umm, as I understand it, to prevent psychological damage of the citizenry which a lockdown will produce, we will continue to wreck the psychological health of the citizenry by not allowing more than six people to congregate?

Is that about the size of it?

I’ve got a better idea. It’s a wrestling movie. What do you need a roadmap?

Dear Boris Johnson: look out the window to your northeast. There’s a country there called Sweden. Move your legs toward Sweden, and the body will follow. It’s not complicated. There you will find the answer.

His name is Anders Tegnell, and he will tell you all you need to know about herd immunity.

I could tell you, but I’m a commoner in your value system. I did not attend an elite school, therefore I am not worthy for you to listen to.

Actually, any commoner in the United Kingdom can tell you what to do.

Forget Operation Moonshot, and forget social distancing, which is a colossally stupid idea, and allow people to congregate.

Do what every species on the planet has done for millions of years to ensure their survival.

Or was their a Louis Pasteur for cockroaches in One Million, BC?

It’s not complicated; it’s a wrestling movie; what do you need, a roadmap?

Listen, my friend, you were elected to serve and protect the British people, not to harm them. Lockdowns, moonshots and social distancing cause severe psychological harm to human beings and to children.

Man is a social animal and as such needs to interact with other human beings. Interaction is an essential part of our existence. Human interaction is the sine qua non of our existence. Take away interaction and humanity dies.

Am I driving that point home? Humanity will die if we stifle human interaction. It’s a wrestling movie; what do you need, a roadmap?
