“You’d better tell the Captain we’ve got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital.”

“A hospital? What is it?”

“It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.”

What the fuck is going on with their asses? Now I really feel we’re missing out on something great…

Still doesn’t add up. 37% of the US population is 120 million. 1% of the global population is still 80 million.

Are you comparing US household income to global individual income? If that’s the case I can see your percentages working, but that comparison doesn’t make much sense so I’m still lost.

60% of the US population is like 200 million. 1% of the global population is 80 million. Your maths is way off.

I’d assume something closer to 6% of the US are in the top 1%.

Poor 12th billion mother-to-be. She’ll push and push but the baby just won’t come out 😔

That’s… precisely why the original quote said “democracy is the worst form of government”. It has fundamental flaws. But it’s still the better than everything else.

Russia didn’t catch any? 40 were slaughtered in Norway after they returned so they couldn’t go back to russia.

It was 47 million nok, or 4.4 million usd. Not rubles.

Why would you go to work if you’re feeling ill??

They were on the winning side, so they did win the whole war. But as I said, they didn’t do it alone nor would they ever have been able to win without all the help they received from everyone else fighting the Nazis at the same time. I don’t think current events should be a reason to see history differently. The Soviets were a powerful war machine during WWII and their contribution played a huge role in the outcome of that war.

I would like to make one correction. Berlin didn’t fall because the Western forces captured it, but it was in fact the Red Army that got there first. This of course doesn’t change the fact that the Soviets never would have managed it by themselves, but this is the reason why claiming “the Soviets defeated the Nazis” is technically true.
