A recent form of profit seems to be offering cheap treatment/medical tourism

Seems impractical for USians, though.
When you try to build a society around human needs instead of capital needs, you end up with different priorities. It's that simple.
If anyone thinks they're making the big bucks and accumulating "soft power" by training a bunch of doctors then selling treatments to Americans for cheap, I'm not sure they can be helped.
I wondered about why there were almost always cuban medics, doctors, nurses etc. in action, when there has been some larger catastropic event in the world, and you could see them in the media.
Why is that, I thought? That doesn't fit being sanctioned by the US(and vassals), being poor in general, and so on.
That's how I became aware of ELAM.
And made up my mind the way I described. Can't help it :-)
I think the word for that is capitalist realism. You cannot imagine a motive beyond calitalist logic, but that doesn't mean nobody else can.
I'd feel offended if the YOU in "You cannot imagine a motive beyond calitalist logic, but that doesn't mean nobody else can." was addressed to me, personally.
Or was it just meant as a general description of the concept?
