There's a wide range in the US from Massachusetts to Nevada say, but co,pared to the Netherlands to Bulgaria then they aren't that different.

I must disagree there.....MA is radically different to NV, Netherlands to Bulgaria actually might be a good comparison. Also qudos to the OP for subscribing to the New Yorker.

People might be interested in this recent New Yorker article on health care.......now this is one that really deserves the comment "Thank your lucky stars you don't live in the USA"

That's one of the points of the forum, to disagree.

I still maintain that the differences across the EU are radically greater than those between US states, though the latter can be dramatic, but it's an opinion only.

I hardly think this is the time to be sensible and moderate. Everyone knows that leaving the EU will lead to the zombie apocalypse. We should all be fortifying our houses and preparing to shoot our neighbours, not engaging in reasoned and nuanced debate.

I have a generator (live in the sticks) canned food, but only an air rifle for a gun.

I have enough difficulties in my life without being laughed off as an idiot going by some comments.

Then you shouldn't have made such an idiotic connection.

Corruption also exists in the EU and will continue to do so both in the rest of it and in the UK after Brexit. It has existed throughout history. Brexit won't make a difference to that.

There is a sensible debate that could be had concerning that article. The law that was misused is deruved from an English one that still exists - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/office-of-the-public-guardian
