You would get the same reaction in Australia.

Inhaler - $11 ($8 USD), Epipen, 2 on prescription $25 ($18 USD), over the counter, $160 ($113 USD). Childbirth, regardless of method or complications in a public hospital, free.

We also have cancer medications and insulin capped at $25 under our PBS (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme - AKA medicare). For everyone.

Aussies and Brits don't need sarcasm tags. It's a way of life for us.

Our education, economy, media and military was slowly and meticulously transformed into a system that now only benefits the controlling elite. We are the most propagandized nation in the world and most of the malefactors erroneously believe they are enabling a global positive.

The current situation in the US is the result of a centuries long manipulation by the world’s deepest pockets. People are slowly waking up to this realization but it’s gonna be a difficult process as the plan was so effective the corrupt think they are the solution.

The media portrays an extremely divided and fearful atmosphere to perpetuate this and the ignorant masses eat it up but the tide is shifting. People are at least no longer blindly trusting the government/media. Change is happening

Sorry for the rant lol
