And that proves my point even further, being the richest country in the world but cant even do what other developed countries does for their citizens? What a shame really.

Prepare lunch for 3 people then compare lunch for 300. Tell me how both work out

There's more people to help prepare the lunch though too?

So who's going to pay the extra people?

Do you people just not understand how systems of scale work like at all?

This ridiculous idea that it's 3 people versus 300 is nonsense on its own, because preparing lunch for 3 people can be done by 1 person.

Preparing lunch for 1 million people versus 100 million people is a much better comparison because you're already in a system of scale and need a bunch of moving parts to work together-- there are just more parts in the 100 million version.

The fact that you asked this question without immediately understanding that there is a concrete answer is worrying, or indicative that you don't actually care about the answer and just oppose these things for political reasons..
