Europe here. It is sad to see the results of the EEUU healthcare system. I still do not get why people do not vote for a more rationale and public service. I guess the EEUU media have brainwashed their people into thinking that a private health system is better. People do not see the problem until it affects them ... until it is too late...

I see you seem to hold the notion that voters are rational beings. As long as you think that way, election results will never make sense to you
What is EEUU?
In Mexico that's the US, so maybe the poster is from Spain.

The doubling of the letters (e.g., "EE." for "Estados" and "UU." for "Unidos") follows a convention in Spanish where plural abbreviations are indicated by duplicating the letters. The correct form would be "EE. UU." This practice aligns with historical Latin abbreviations (e.g., "SS." for "Sancti" (plural) or "S." for "Sanctus" (singular)).

¡Correct!. I would not be able to explain it better.
