Don’t most euro governments support your free benefits health care? So we pay euro governments so you get free shit. And still get enough military might between all combined to defend yourself, ok I got it

Im not sure Im understanding the question...

how health care works literally varies from state to state in the US.. and is unique in every country in the world..

For example.. we used to have a large program in Central America that we ran for the US State Department.. we held (still do) business licenses in several CA countries and were held to those countries labor laws while working there..

In many CA countries one of their requirements under labor law is to provide an employee with 13 months of pay per year.. essentially you pay them all year long... then when they complete a year, they get an additional month of pay... something like a requirement, by law, to pay everyone a "bonus"...

So.. if I want to pay you $50K a year in Guatemala.. I dont pay you $50K divided by 12 months.. I pay you $50K divided by 13 months... you end up with the same amount of money.. but you actually get less every month all year long.. and then pick up the remainder at the end of the year..

In Saudi Arabia, you are required to provide Saudi health care for any/all employees that live and work in the country under a work visa.. a basic health care plan is super cheap (I think less than $100 a month).. but literally wont cover much of anything beyond band aids and aspirin... if you want your employees to have more coverage, how you do that is your decision.. you can choose to buy your employees better coverage (at much higher rates).. or you can choose to let your employees buy whatever coverage they want (at their expense).. or you can just give them the basic coverage and provide no other options... but by law your employees MUST be provided with at least basic health care..

Whereas in some other places we do work, there is nationalized healthcare.. the quality of the healthcare sucks.. but.. we dont pay anything for it and the employee doesnt pay anything for it.. (at least not directly.. they certainly pay for it out of taxes)..

It all just depends..

Even in the US, the requirements and costs for providing healthcare in Virginia are very different than Wyoming.. which are very different than Oregon.. which is very different than Texas.. even with ACA (Obamacare) there is still significant differences in costs and coverages depending on the provider and the company involved.. (see the difference in what Tanks is paying vs what my firm is paying..)

Go look in a mirror

Then smack yourself in the face for asking such a stupid question

This is happening at an alarming rate in other parts of the world.. it wouldnt surprise me at all if we saw more of it in the US in the next decade or two...

And it is a terrible travesty.

So anyone who supports a free market system is a “globalist?” Or is there a more specific criteria that you have in mind.

A label such as “globalist” can have any number of meanings, I am merely asking for how you personally choose to define it.

You'd probably cry at Workman's comp rates.

 

[glen matunas]

Globalist…
No borders no culture no language, all pride in ones heritage destroyed so that we all become the lowest common denominator ruled by a bunch of pricks…any person that pushes this narrative willingly or ignorantly I would call a globalist.

Thankfully for us most of our people are covered under DBA (Defense Base Act) policies... which has a federally regulated rate and gets passed on to the customer (govt) directly.... so everyone is on a level playing field when bidding on work opportunities...

In that case, I have some very good news for you, as there is not a person here who would meet this definition.

Glen, we can disagree and discuss without being disrespectful to other members.

 

[glen matunas]

I’d say 1/2 the world is there and the other 1/2 is to distracted to notice they are on the way

Heck, even the illegal aliens rushing over from China have pride in their heritage

By your definition those that support free market in a global economy are NOT globalist.

BTW, one of the criticisms about a number of immigrants (legal or otherwise) is sticking to their language and customs and not assimilate to USA values. So, you'd agree with them sticking to their own way of doing things (implement Islamic courts etc.) in MI for example?

 

[glen matunas]

As I would love to continue to discuss politics with everyone the chairman of the board has given a very reasonable warning about not being disrespectful…was not my intention…poor American to euro humor and thin skin I guess. Back to retirement, good luck to you all in you future endeavors!
