Comment on Trump signs executive order withdrawing from the World Health Organization

Comments

The WHO should have kicked us out. Who are we to be involved in anything healthcare in a global scale? We can't provide reliable healthcare to our own citizens. We're in the 20th percentile of longevity worldwide. Taking funding or expertise from our hacks is probably holding the world back. With any luck the lack of cooperation will thin the herd of under earning Americans to free up capitol for the healthcare CEOs.

US is very capitalistic, and in economic terms retirees living long means they consume a lot of resources but produce very little after retirement. So they need a large base of young workers to support them.

The US state of healthcare is terrible, but weirdly it also means retirees don't live long as an unintended consequence. This juices up the economy.
