All of that is irrelevant to my point that your right wing government has policies that would be far left in the US

The rubric is literally right below what you quoted
The categories are as follows:
Biased Wording/Headlines- Does the source use loaded words to convey emotion to sway the reader. Do headlines match the story?
Factual/Sourcing- Does the source report factually and back up claims with well-sourced evidence.
Story Choices: Does the source report news from both sides, or do they only publish one side.
Political Affiliation: How strongly does the source endorse a particular political ideology? Who do the owners support or donate to?
Just because it is a qualitative and not a quantitative assessment doesn’t mean it’s arbitrary.
There is a whole lot more to it than that. You can read it here.
In Switzerland, patients pay up to 8% of their personal income towards the cost of a basic insurance plan. If their premiums work out to more than 8% of their income, the government provides a cash subsidy to cover the difference.

My point in this whole thing is that everyone in Switzerland has healthcare and that healthcare is subsidized to be more affordable than in the US. That would be a left wing program here.
Gross Geneva monthly minimum wage is CHF 4426 or $4,940 according to a quick Google. In the US it’s $1,330.
Edit. Even the highest US local minimum wage of $17 an hour is $2,992 a month.
They clearly list the methodology they use on their website.
As much as it sounds like you don’t like what you have, it’s still better than the US.
I think it’s considered center left based on US politics. Our Overton window has shifted pretty far. The Swiss have universal healthcare and strict gun control. That can’t be right by US standards.
The Russian judge really robbed Comcast of that gold
I want a small nuclear submarine. That would open up so many exploration options. You could zoom around short distances manually or use it to fast travel long distances from port to port (say DC to Boston). Mutated sea creatures to run from or fight. Flooded sunken coastal cityscapes. Ghoul Chinese sub crews still fighting the war. Secret underwater research stations. So many options.
I have to imagine a person in such a situation would experience an adrenaline spike which makes for unsteady hands.
Oh look, Trump blatantly committed another felony.
"Some of you have come to believe that I like war. I wish to dash these rumors. I do not like war.
I LOVE war.
Through my life, I have discovered so many forms of war. You get up in the morning, you get into your shitty car, and you see a rich CEO who works half as hard as you do drive down the street in his Porsche. Class war.
You make it to work, and you find out that the annual drug test is today. And you just so happened to take a puff of your one-hitter a couple nights ago before dinner with your wife’s awful parents. Drug war.
But then, you find out that the only ones being called in for testing are your black and Hispanic co-workers. Race war.
Then, you try to post about it on your Facebook, but then all your friends start arguing about what’s right und what’s wrong. Flame war.
You finally get home, and you decide to relax by watching a program about: “Who gets the box?” “What’s in the box?” “How much is what’s in the box worth?” Storage Wars.
chuckle What I am telling you, my Nazi army of 1,000 vampires, is that I am a purveyor of war. And with your help over the years, we are now at the precipice of our true goal.
You see, I want a simple war. No class wars, no drug wars, no race wars, no flame wars… Und certainly, no Cold Wars! (Blueballed for 40 years.)
What I want is a war that only we can bring. A true war! A German war! The sequel you’ve all been waiting for! I! WANT! WORLD! WAR!! THREE!!!"

Now you can judge someone’s social status by whether they drive a luxury car, if they live in a mansion, or how many employees work for them. In a post-scarcity society, people who want high status have to earn it. By going down to unexplored planets themselves, the bridge crew get to claim any new discoveries as their own. People all over the galaxy will hear about who made first contact with a new civilization.
Remember that in a post-scarcity society, the currency is glory and prestige.
Getting a dog has helped me in ways I never expected. I just figured “cute, cuddle, good for brain chemicals”. But they HAVE to be walked at a certain time. They HAVE to be fed at a certain time. Regardless of any of your internal issues, you love them and you have to provide for their needs.
So when you are in the kitchen filling their bowl, you make yourself some toast or grab a banana. When you are taking them for a walk, maybe you go a little farther because they like it and it’s good for you. If you struggle to get up in the morning, they look to you pleading to be taken out to pee and you get yourself up and dressed. They need training and that requires being consistent, so you do it for them. It’s so much easier to do it for them than for yourself.
My first thought was Taco Tuesday Celebration, but then I just realized it was The Ten Commandments
American values? Can’t have that!
Like the separation of church and state?
Immigration? Come on in, we’ll worry about it later!
That’s how 99% of the country got here. It’s what made (and still makes) this country great. Incorporating people from around the world is an American value.
Trump is running again? Let’s do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to stop him from campaigning!!
What about the American value of respecting law and order by not supporting a convicted felon for president?
Crime is getting worse? Let’s ease up on punishment! Crime isn’t getting worse.
Crime is actually going down.
Biological men want to compete with women in sports? Okay!
Accepting those with different beliefs and respecting the way they choose to live their life is another American value.
