@em_swsurrey@mastodonapp.uk infant mortality rates are not comparable between most countries so that doesn't work.

@em_swsurrey@mastodonapp.uk It’s surprising how many of those EU figures are shameful. The US is appalling; the EU slightly less so.

@em_swsurrey@mastodonapp.uk Most Americans will not be aware of the fact that EU citizens are so much better off. For generations they have been brainwashed into believing that they live in the greatest nation of all. As it turns out, the two party system was always a risk to freedom and democracy.

@em_swsurrey@mastodonapp.uk Student Dept in EU = 0 Euro is definitely incorrect. My daughter has about 30,000 Euro debt already and one year to go on her masters degree. That is in Germany where support for poorer students is a loan!. Read on it it is called BAFOG. We may not have to pay all of that back but the sum will still hurt. Health care is also only partially covered by German health insurance worst cover is for dentistry. 14,4 % of German Children are listed officially as poor or endangered.
