Can we get public healthcare & higher education first? A living minimum wage?!

[@andrewmoir]

The UK (where this documentary was made) already has public healthcare and 'free' higher education, and both are a sh%tshow. We need less govt bureaucracy in medicine, less useless degrees, less government involvement in contracts among both individuals and businesses.

@@andrewmoir I’m sorry it’s so poorly run. I agree it’s better to have less govt unless it’s well run.

[@GaionSputro]

Free internet, electricity, food&water, cleaning stuff and education. And l'm good.

After we learnt to conserve and protect our current planet, we can think about other planets and visualise living in space.
