Good news! Fuck the Swiss.

Works for me
Thats a dark road to tread.
An example,
no alchol consumption is safe, so using your line of thinking you'd need to argue that anyone who partakes of alcohol at any anytime would fall under that line of thinking
Processed red meats simailary, especially those treated with nitrites, so those eating bacon, ham etc shouldn't be entitled to public heath care under your reasoning
Or are those things ok becase you do them ?
On the upside, now you've excluded 95% of the population, public healthcare will be cheap :)
Contra to most peoples thinking, if you're concerned about public healthcare costs, you should "encourage" obesiety and smoking, they all die early, most health care coats are associated with healthy people in their old age. See here

Adults are stupid and greedy, we all are.
Southern Hemisphere is a big place, I'm at 10C here in Tasmania where I live , in the middle of the day, a long way from scorching.
It would be nice if they used more specific language then "southern hemisphere", which includes Antarctica.
Most of the growing US population centres are in places that are at the forefront of unsustainablity and climate change danger.
For the vast majorty, there's just a complete lack of giving a fuck & zero real interest but just assuming things will be alright, no matter the evidence.
Another example, water issues and heat issues and it's the second fastest growing place in the US. On another note, creating wealth is a proxy for destroying the biosphere and making an unlivable planet.
KYLE, Texas—People and businesses have flooded into Kyle, Texas, since the pandemic, making it the second-fastest-growing city in the U.S. The influx is creating wealth but also contributing to a big problem: Kyle is getting hotter and running low on water
But climate change can make living here brutal. Underground, the aquifer that Kyle relied on is shrinking. The city for three years now has had to buy water rights from nearby San Marcos to satisfy its growing population. Temperatures hit nearly 100 degrees before this summer even started, and drought conditions persist. People wear neck fans, limit outdoor time to early morning and nighttime, and keep their children inside.

No sane person would choose to move to Vegas. The heat and lack of water are ridiculous and it's nothing but a giant monument to human stupidity and hubris... Yet here we are.

Outgoing special rapporteur David Boyd says ‘there’s something wrong with our brains that we can’t understand how grave this is’
Well most voters are entitled asshole that think a few solar panels and ecars is as much as can be expected and another bunch who think it's all bullshit anyway.
That's the vast majority. They Vote for the politcans who reflect that and its also why the Greens dont get enough votes to make substantive policy changes.
There is (or was) a North Korean Restaurant in Phnom Penh, in Cambodia. The staff were apparntly North Korean, so not sure how that worked and I was going to go but never go there back in the day.
The worst dishes (for me) I've had were in Malaysia , o coild nit find sonethbg Ibloeod, i started oit disliking the food in Myamar (before the recent civil war) not did start to find food I liked and the most suprisingly good food was Nepalese, at a little place owned by a Nepalese family. Not a fan of tomato based dishes so...
Outback Steak house ? Lol wot?
Maybe the owner died before they could oaas the torch ?
Linux, seriously, it's in my phone, my router, my desktop, my ISP and nearly the entire infrastructure of the internet upon which I rely uses it.
Voters aren't though, still voting for the politcans with their polices and heads stuck in last century.
Nearly everything we're doing is wrong, so I dont expect that to change much. The presumption is our human entitlement subsumes the laws of nature and whioke we can fool ourselves and each other for a time, you cannot fool nature.
Which is widely know but surprisingly well supported by a vast number of voters.
