  • It costs $8k without insurance or with a high-deductible plan. Marketed hospital prices are not the same as what patients pay. Yes, a lot will pay around the $8k, but a lot more will pay a few hundred dollars.

    I'm not saying the US has affordable health care, but if you're going to criticize something, you have to keep the nuance.

  • One newspaper is enough to get a shallow understanding of something, but it's not enough to get a more nuanced understanding. Even then, not every newspaper covers every story, so you'll need multiple even for a shallow understanding about XYZ.

  • In fairness, I haven't found a good paid news aggregator that has those paid sources. I sincerely doubt that most people can pay $10/month each to read NYT, The Economist, Bloomberg, WSJ, their local big newspaper, Wired, and whatever else might be useful.

  • I've read some takes that basically said the following:

    The market for devs will shrink, but the market for senior devs will grow greatly.

    Assuming that's true, you won't have to worry if you enjoy programming and are going to actively gain tons of skills in your free time.

    If you won't be that person, then I'm not sure if CS is good for you.

    They can't (legally) deny you entry into the US, but they might make your life hell when re-entering. Bring a burner phone with you in case they take your phone. Don't keep anything even remotely political saved on there.

  • You act like Americans weren't screaming at other Americans saying that this would be the exact outcome. You also act like Americans weren't yelling at other Americans about guns, imperialism, climate, and so much more of the country's vices. And lastly, you act like Americans don't get punished years down the line after their leaders make the most brain-dead decisions imaginable.
