Reply to U.S. hospitals are required to publish their prices for medical procedures now, so my friends and I collected around 15 million prices from 143 hospitals in Massachusetts and created a search engine where anyone can see how much they may be charged. Let me know what you think! by taeyoungwoo

kudos to you and your friends first and foremost ....just pondering that as good as this is , kinda seems like something that the government should be putting together ...government for the people ? like fuck

i dont base my facts on wikipedia ...so okay my apologies although its semantics ...i should have said mainland tasmania , wasnt trying to sensationalise and i know there are still aboriginals in tasmania but they were all from smaller islands , they were effectively wiped out on the mainland and the remaining survivors were forcibly moved to flinders island , where they all died ...so all the mainland indigenous were slaughtered or moved ...genocide is still genocide

probably because back in those days (although not completely different today) you could get a rewards for stopping a bushranger which meant killing them and if ALL of the bushrangers you ended up stopping in cold blood happened to be indigenous well then who is really going to argue or ask for proof ? ....just to add to the horror of our own nation , we ended up completely wiping out indigenous people from tasmania ALL OF THEM , fuck racism , fuck people
