That's how birthing suites look. Any decent hospital built or remodeled in the last 20 years will have birth suites that look more like hotels than hospitals.

I think those are just black laminate cabinets. That said, I don’t mind if hospital rooms are nice. People should feel like they have some dignity and comfort when they are in the hospital instead of feeling like they were just admitted to the sick ward of Silent Hill County Hospital.

"Oooh, got a little too serious. You okay there, little buddy?"
The reason universities are hotbeds of filthy leftism is that the more educated a person is, the more progressive they tend to be. And generally vice versa. I wonder if the staunchly conservative students are also the ones paying assignment mills for their grades.

It's one of the reasons "you get conservative as you get older" is starting to not hold true because while boomers had something like 5% with a tertiary education now it's more like 30%

I’m reminded of the laws making it illegal to feed the homeless; they reveal how inhuman and unnatural capitalism really is. These laws reveal that artificial means are needed to allow capitalism to function as intended, because without the intervention of force the surplus population would not starve and thereby the market would be incapable of correcting for the surplus population created by capitalism

yah it's emblematic of the inhumanity of capitalism, but laws against feeding the homeless are more about forcibly moving the homeless out of sight out of mind and preventing them from congregating in public spaces like parks. hunger is a huge problem in the modern US, but I don't think outright starvation is a mass problem
