Most of the economics on PP goes over my head (my brain doesn’t work that way 
), but I try to follow it, and often find interesting things there. The economy is like the leaves on a tree where the environment and energy availability are roots and stem. Only if the roots and stem are strong can the leaves be healthy. I’m more of a roots person. From the little I know of it, Austrian economics makes most sense to me (have never looked at mises.org, but will explore more - learning is permanent). Thanks for the link.
This is real : https://twitter.com/SenSanders/status/957316808457015296 community driven health care is better than business driven health care
Here’s what else is real…
France is a tad better than Canada because they pay up front for 13-20% of the cost for any medical service… And the “universal” coverage the French are given sucks enough so that 90+% have second tier private insurance. So this delusional idea that something can be had for nothing from Bernie, who’s high on rhetoric and low on math, is simply laughable at best, dangerous at worst…

The math also does not shift on the block chain. You can call it community driven - one still has to pay. There are other ways to decrease healthcare cost, I won’t broach them here, but I do want to explode this pervasive myth that healthcare outcomes are so much better elsewhere than in the USA.
Plus, French don’t eat a meal without wine. That’s cultural. There’s proven clinical studies demonstrating lowering to near elimination of cardiovascular disease as a function of moderate alcohol consumption… They are also more active than your average American.
I love the idea of universal coverage but not at the cost of everything else.

But the “real” roots and stem, is the sun’s entropy. That and the sum of individual wills.
