I don’t know if you’re making a joke or not, but getting NHS isn’t worth $200,000 USD per year.
Most Americans get employer-provided health insurance, which costs money (the amount specified in the DD section of the W2), and its often in the $1500/month range. That DD amount isn’t part of your income or the salary Glassdoor mentions. It’s an added benefit of top of that.
In the UK and elsewhere, around $500/month/person in taxes pays for your healthcare. That’s essentially subtracted from your income. So the uk income is even lower when you subtract the taxes the NHS costs.

Nope, but NHS + no/less student loans + no car dependency + cheaper childcare + time off + a ton of other things shave quite a bit off that $200k. Not equal, and not in every personal case, but a lot.
Canadian and not UKian, but our public healthcare is definitely not worth 50% of my take home cash, I get much better access to care in the US right now. it still says Canada on my passport so I can get healthcare if I get fired or chronically ill
All that will happen is people will develop scar tissue and just not tip anymore. People used to be polite and be nice when they picked up the phone from some number they didn't recognize. Scam artists USE this old custom to scam people. Well, most people don't even pick up the phone any more and for people that have to, like myself, the instant I recognize a cold call, I just hangup. I don't feel guilty about it anymore, in fact, I feel empowered.
Tipping at terminals is going to happen the same way. The idea that some minimum wage person is gonna recognize you, let alone still working at these places will key you in on this is just something that will go away.
Tip at a sitdown restaurant, that's normal. Tipping at a terminal for takeout, screw that.
The cynicism in the 51s statement is what's wrong. And the media taking the expected cynical take. The 51 can say we didn't say it was fake we simply strongly implied it. And the media reported the implied lie. The media is either ignorant or more likely complicit.
But no one is changing positions in the way you describe. Maybe they are changing tactics to APPEAR they are changing positions but actually aren't.
And I have issues with this idea, that we can know the populations well enough, to slice and dice and shave population groups until we have a 51% winning vote. That doesn't seem real.

True. There's no telling if any of the promises or language will translate into action once governing. In normal times, breaking campaign promises would carry consequences for reelection of the candidate (or the candidate's party), but it's anyone's guess if that applies now.

But can't read or do any math beyond addition? What?
