That does include myself. We are pretty isolated from reality given the rich life we live. The person scrubbing floors at the gas station during COVID-19 infections have a very different view of life. In my bubble, I try my best to gain that view and inject it back here on HN. > they're very similar. Amen. People like you are the reason why I continue commenting on HN. There's strong distaste for differing opinions on here but input like yours make all the hate worth this experience. PS: We exchanged notes earlier on a health insurance topic here where I was championing for repealing employer provided health insurance which is a vestige from WW2 wage regulation.
