I honestly don't, is it bad, I know there are issues in this country with puerile having no savings, is it as bad or worse in the US

Here compared to the UK , the USΒ as no real social safety net, yes you will get some money , but its not a livable amount. If you lose your house in the UK there is a very good chance one will be found for you , here tough shit you are on your own, if you've kids then they will be taken into care or with some luckΒ grandparents will take them in.Β 

That is why some people have 2 or 3 jobs, just to get by, and some times that both parents.

If you have money then US is great it really is, if you don't then its shiter then shit. Also remember if have no money then you will have on medical insuranceΒ 

And those food line in Maryland, its not a one off, we have them here in Houston too and in more then one location

Yeah, but consider this...

I happened to be in Lidl late one evening just after Christmas, they announced over the tannoy they'd be giving away shortdated 'Christmas' food; stollen, christmas cakes and puddings, dates etc. Almost immediately about a third of the shoppers, probably 8-9 people formed a queue for a freebie.

People are greedy parasites and would queue for a poke in the eye if it was going for nowt.

Fact.

If you have no medical insurance, what happens if you you get run over by a drunk driver? Also, on the other scale of things, if you get cancer?

if the Drunk drive as insurance then you claim off them, if you have cancer you die, the odds are you will not even know you have it because you cant afford to see a doctor

Last time i went to new York, we noticed that really busy bars only had one door man who was basically there to check ID

In random conversation asked some folk about this and what could one bouncer do if it kicked off and they said, at least in Manhattan, you didn't get many bar brawls as most people, bar Italians, didn't want to risk having to require medical attention

It complected, depends on what insurance you have, but basically even with insurance you still end up paying, for example every time I go to the DocsΒ you haveΒ what they call co-pay ( mine this year is $40, to see a specialist its $70) the insurance pays the rest to a certain point,Β  then there is your out of pocket cost, this can be $5000, $10000 or $15000 when 1000% , so last year my employer and myself paid to the tuneΒ of $13000 medical insurance for me and my wife (that 13K) now if I got seriously ill would have to find at least 10k off my own money on top of that before the insurance pay all of it, that ok if you have a spare 10k hanging around, so thats how people get in serous medical debt

Thats where planned parenthood comes in, they will help the mother. But you will only here about them because the GOP use abortion to beet them with, even through they are not allowed by federal law to give abortions, they can give advice to the mother and then its the mothers choice

There is a really good book on the political take of western countries, post 1945. The US, went for a very, very liberalist ideal ie no state, a sort of odd (and corrupt) meritocracy.

Its interesting to watch, because there was no European country that followed the US into this, apart from the UK; but they were very much held back by state founded institutions such council homes, and our cornerstone of state help, the National Health Service.Β 

Germany's 'right of centre' government has held true to the idea of social conservatism, moderate, inclusive and in no way makes a financial or moral definition between public or private sector employees.Β

In today's conference he's still going on about how he shut down travel from China in January

From an interview he did in January (Which Royal will twist into something about queueing for bread):

JOE KERNEN: --are there worries about a pandemic at this point?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: No. Not at all. And-- we're-- we have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It'sβ€”going to be just fine.
