Im going to pretend you didn't say that so we can remain friends.

Picture the scene; On a baking hot Australian summer day, 38 degrees in the shade, you've been out in the sun, watching other people work hard while eating your ice cream. You walk into a bar and get a delicious fruity hoppy Indian Pale Ale poured into a pint off the tap, condensation immediately forming on the glass, cutting through the crushing heat. A beer designed specifically to alleviate the oppressive nature of our oriental summer, the delicious amber goodness hits your lips and transforms your day.

I hate IPAs, which may be a reaction to the PNW IPAs, which basically compete on how bitter they can get. I want my beer dark and thick, maybe even malty. A Russian Imperial Stout is pretty much my idea of heaven. This basically leaves me out of current beer culture, but at least they still make Guiness. (The exception is on a hot day after doing yardwork, when, OK, something very light and nearly ice cold is appropriate.)

We got a pretty decent craft scene in Australia, to a point now where I think craft beer is something like 30 percent of the beer market. I like a West Coast IPA every so often and some breweries do offer them, (hard to find in a can at a bottle shop along with red ale) our IPAs tend to be more on the hoppy and fruity side however you can get some that have that harder bitter edge. A lot of tap houses will offer one or two stouts on tap, a lot will have a Russian Imperial or something similar, I'm not really sure why because outside of winter we really haven't got the climate for it.

One of the unfortunate consequences of covid and our lockdowns is that it put a lot of small breweries to the wall some of them were pretty good too.

For the far majority of people, I imagine this isn’t the case. They’re paying tens of thousands in each instance if not more.

That is the problem with this debate. I don't mean this as an attack because everyone does it. Rubashov does it one page later, but people argue imaginary, supposed, anecdotal, and cherry-picked numbers. They argue list prices versus actual costs, or even versus out-of-pocket. I know of no issue routinely argued with bad comparisons as this issue. Health care costs are higher in the United States because income is higher in the United States. Those arguing about how health care is lower other places are no different from Tucker Carlson wandering around a Russian market exclaiming how cheap the food there is.

If you want a reason for health care costs being so high in the United States, here you go:

Equal? Brotha. We’re lucky as ****. My wife’s making almost 4x what I make. Hell, I’m gonna push my kids hard to just work for her company. Her sister did and was promoted twice early. My wife will likely work there another 16 years…and my youngest is six years old now…they could get jobs there right out of college in 10-15 years for what will likely be about $110,000 or so. It’s long hours but they could do it for ten years, save money, and either leave for private or stay for the long term like she has.
