"HiSense makes great tvs..if you don't buy the 4K one that the stuff on the screen disappears and reappears....and if you don't buy the ones reviews say are only suitable for video games..."
Now with healthcare:
"They had great healthcare....if you survive birth and childhood...and then didn't get a disease there was no cure for...."
From your own link:
Quote:The early years from infancy through to about 15 was perilous, due to risks posed by disease, injuries, and accidents. But those who survived this hazardous period of life could well make it into old age.
Again, maybe we just have a higher standard of what "good healthcare" is here. For us, good healthcare has to keep you alive.
Rollo, do you realize the same thing can be said today. We have diseases that we simply can't cure and if you are unlucky enough to end up with one of them.....
We can say the same thing, "if you are lucky enough to get thru your childhood......and then didn't get a disease there was no cure for......"
Also, as far as TVs....
It's subjective. I have a high preference for Samsung TVs but I know people who feel very strongly about other brands. It is not my place to push Samsung on anyone but if someone ask me, I wouldn't hesitate to tell them my preference.
I am sure that there are many many people who could say that HiSense is a good brand. For the money, I am sure that equation plays a factor. It for me, a TV last so many years that a few hundred bucks is negligible. To others, it may be just too expensive and simply not something they can or want to spare. Especially when the experience is so subjective to the individual. Of course, on a pixel level there could and should be measurable differences. But the human watches TV, they don't measure pixels. What they get out of it can only be measured by the person experiencing it. This is way more complex than I want to get into but you should know that everyone's reality is skewed. That preference is subjective
