That's the Standart in about every developed nation on this planet. I don't get it either what the USA is trying to accomplish there.

A thing that isn't obvious seeing that insanely inflated prices is, that these are prices for individuals and won't be payed by insurances. If you have let's say a 70k hospital bill, the insurance might just say we only pay you 8k. The hospital then takes the 8k and writes of the other 68k as a loss. This results in the hospital not earning any money on paper and they don't pay taxes.

My favorite thing to look at, when it comes to these inflated prices in USA Healthcare ae the prices of saline solution.

Have a read if you're interested.

The thing your missing is, when you click only allow non essential, that means it's still 700 companies tracking you because of the great term "legitimate interest". That's the one you need to deactivate and this usually one by one as shown in this post.

So yeah, you're essentially allowing all the stuff the way you're doing it

Abortions in first 12 weeks should be legalised in Germany, commission says

I went in to read the German law itself and it's basically only illegal if certain conditions aren't met and that is getting a counseling beforehand.

I think that's a bit of a far stretch and misleading to say it's illegal but rarely punished etc.

Also the headline is completely wrong, as it is already allowed to get an abortion up to week 12.

Here is the part of the legal text defining the requirements.


Section 218a Exemption from punishment for abortion

(1) The elements of the offence under section 218 are not deemed fulfilled if

1.  the pregnant woman requests the termination of pregnancy and demonstrates to the physician by producing the certificate referred to in section 219 (2) sentence 2 that she obtained counselling at least three days prior to the procedure,

2.  the termination is performed by a physician and

3.  no more than 12 weeks have elapsed since conception.

Taylor Swift threatens legal action against Florida student who tracks her jet | CNN Business

"that one action" lol

She is basically the worst case of private jet usage and leading the list of such individuals, while somehow advocating for the environment.

This is just ridiculous.

And she is trying to fuck that guy up for "stalking" and "harassment", just for showing public data.

On top, for whatever reason, she had 2 private jets flying around until now. Seems like she sold one this month.

It's not that you don't have attention, what your lacking is the control over your attention. This means that you have a harder time directing your attention to what is "necessary".

The result of this might be not being able to focus your attention on something, but it can show also as not being able to shift the attention away from something.

It's actually not two different sides but rather the same.
