Yeah, well, as long as I can sling code for 100K+ a year in this fine country, it’s not my problem what happens thousands of miles away over in Mississippi. —H

  Live fast, die young. What's the issue?

  Why don't they just e̶a̶t̶ ̶c̶a̶k̶e̶ learn to code?

  Do you understand the irony of saying this when we're literally on a thread discussing and caring about the problem that is obviously more affecting the demographics that are non-HN'ers?

    No. I don’t understand the love people have for molesting the word “irony”. That was a meta-comment about what 99/100 threads about “why is Europe poor” or “why do schoolchildren have to practice mass shooting drills” are about (i.e. classic Europe/America culture war fodder); people talking about their precious FAANG jobs and how they couldn’t mine data for 200K annually in their native Moldova. Well, sure, people are dying of preventable disease but, y’know why are they making such bad choices? People should just apply themselves (like me) and learn to code. Then of course people disagree with them. But the locus of the conversation is still about the upward mobility opportunities of tech nerds. Then out of those thousands of comments there are “other side of the tracks” observations (I mean stats) about how those who didn’t apply themselves are doing.

  You do realize some people on this message board live in Louisiana and Mississippi

    Okay Mr. periodless. Could have fooled me since we’re apparently just talking statistics, not relaying personal experiences.
