See, that’s the thing that Finland got right. They eradicated liberalism and socialism so they can tackle things like taxes, healthcare, and forest fires properly. (also /s)

I’m sorry to hear that healthcare access is deteriorating, but happy to hear that at least 60% of voters aren’t happy about it. I hope that plays out in your next elections.
In contrast, back in December I tried to make a doctor’s appointment, but can’t be seen until March. This year, if my medical costs get high enough, my out of pocket expenses will equal about 25% of my anticipated gross income.
But thankfully, I live in the best country in the universe, which has conquered socialism, and is well on its way to installing an orange, shambling, meandering, and very, very vindictive god emperor. God bless the USA.

My brother is visiting friends in Scotland at the moment. 
So far, they’re all OK, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for them.

A yearslong U.S. Justice Department investigation of a global hacking campaign that targeted prominent American climate activists took a turn in a London court this week amid an allegationthat the hacking was ordered by a lobbying firm working for ExxonMobil. Both the lobbying firm and ExxonMobil have denied any awareness of or involvement with alleged hacking.
The hacking was allegedly commissioned by a Washington, D.C., lobbying firm, according to a lawyer representing the U.S. government. The firm, in turn, was allegedly working on behalf of one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies, based in Texas, that wanted to discredit groups and individuals involved in climate litigation, according to the lawyer for the U.S. government. In court documents, the Justice Department does not name either company.

These were never theories, they were whole-cloth lies by venal monsters who wanted to let this happen, and I hate how even now these things are so gentle about that.
