How is poverty good for Health?

/in /by

COVID taught me many things.  One of the more surprising things I learned was that you do not need to be smart to get a medical degree.  Prior to COVID I believed that Doctors were some of the brightest people on earth.  Then COVID came along and Dr. Deena Hinshaw started making regular television appearances.  Dr. Hinshaw was the Chief Medical officer for the Province of Alberta.  She was in charge of the provincial pandemic response.  Her television appearances were to articulate the most moronic response to cold and flu season in medical history.

I am sure many doctors are quite bright but Deena Hinshaw is living proof you don’t need to be smart to get a medical degree and Unfortunately Deena is not much of an outlier.  This morning I found a video by Dr. Britt Lehmann-Bender.  Dr. Lehmann-Bender wants everyone to know she is all in favor of a universal basic income.

 

According to Dr. Lehmann-Bender a basic income reduces stress and stress kills so we absolutely must institute universal basic income.  You know what else causes stress?  Lockdowns cause stress; what do you suppose Dr.  Lehmann-Bender’s position on lockdowns is?   She does not state her position but I can guarantee she is pro-lockdown.  I feel confident in that prediction because Dr. Lehmann-Bender is an idiot who obviously received her degree from the same degree mill Deena Hinshaw used.

Universal Basic income, Just Transition, Build back better, New green deal; these are all euphemisms for communism.  So, in essence, Dr. Lehmann-Bender believes peoples’ health would improve under communism.  One of the best measures of health is life expectancy so according to the good doctor people must have lived much longer lives in the Soviet Union.  Of course that is nowhere near true.

Everyone in a communist system is guaranteed a basic income.  It did not lead to better health anywhere.  Communism always resulted in grinding poverty, short lives, and mass murder.  There is not a single place where that did not happen.

Nothing has a worse track record than communism yet “intellectuals” in the west still view it as a preferred system.  There is no such thing as your fair share of money that you did not earn.  If you want a basic income and a longer life get some exercise and get a job.
