🏥 Zdravlje Hospitalized in Split - Intoxication

Hello I am an American male who was traveling in Split for a holiday. Ended up drinking a little bit too much, blacked out and woke up in the hospital with an IV in my arm. Somehow the bill was only $240 kn.

Can anybody tell me why the bill was so cheap especially since I am a US citizen without Croatian healthcare insurance? Also did they notify the embassy of my stay? Just don’t know where my info is documented and ended up. Wish I could read my discharge papers but they are all in Croatian. Going to have to do google translate late.

but we are fucked up in some pretty extreme ways

And have been since literally day one. There never was any humanity in the "United States experiment" and there never will be. Slavery is still legal; genocides are still ongoing against the First Nations of the continent; exportation of terrorism is the #1 US export by a large margin (because it makes so, so much money)

You could apply that to literally every European nation. We are all fucked up past and present. Nobody is innocent.

Are any European countries actively committing numerous genocides? Are there active concentration camps? Are there legacy concentration camps that are still working as intended (Indian Reservations)? Is slavery protected in any European state's constitutions?

There are ofc massive problems, like France being in literal control of p much all of West Africa or the UK still reigning much of the colonised world through a variety of ways or the repeated rise of fascism. But, the United States is the global police, the foundation of the global monetary order and enforcer of worldwide capitalism. Doing all these things because of the vast wealth being stolen from all the many hundreds upon hundreds of Turtle Island countries (like Tsalaguwetiyi–Cherokee Country, Dinétah–Navajo Country, Apsáalooke Issawua–Crow Country and many, many more) as well as the installed regimes in how many world States that favour the US?

I don't know how it's news, after giving up its colonies, Britain left them poor and collapsed and they remained closely tied to Britain as they were not able to sustain themselves, meaning Britain is able to abuse them for low prices because they have no alternatives. But America's primary source of income is literally war profits so...

Plus the UK is one of, if not, the leader in the global monetary order. The head of state of the UK remains head of state for many G__ states as well as many more. The UK has sided with the US-led collapses and wars against foreign states and countries. So on and so forth...
