You seemingly care about this but also can't be bothered to bring any empirical evidence for any of your claims. Goes both ways. The US is not that different from everywhere else... we all live in the same capitalist hellhole last time I checked.

> You seemingly care about this but also can't be bothered to bring any empirical evidence for any of your claims. Goes both ways. Which claims? That Social Security exists? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_(United_States) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_(United_States... That Medicare exists? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_(United_States) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_(United_States) That 10x savings is the recommendation? https://www.fidelity.com/viewpoints/retirement/how-much-do-i-need-to-retire https://www.fidelity.com/viewpoints/retirement/how-much-do-i... > The US is not that different from everywhere else Says you, but you apparently aspire to live and work here, so it's different enough. > we all live in the same capitalist hellhole last time I checked. Have you checked North Korea?

  >Says you, but you apparently aspire to live and work here, so it's different enough. Never said that. It's just where tech salaries are bigger. >Have you checked North Korea? What does this have to do with anything? Unless you're writing from North Korea, this is childish. Apparently I hit a nerve and that was not my intention. My point was never specifically about the US but you keep insisting on it and have a bone to grind. That doesn't add to the conversation though.

You said: "I don't live in the US, but if I did I would grind all the leetcode (as insulting as I find them) for one single reason: I don't want to work forever." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37809983 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37809983 My first reply to you was to that comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37810176 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37810176 The HN thread history doesn't lie. Your point that I replied to was specifically about the US.

      You're interpreting my mention of the US which is incidentally where tech salaries are higher as the focus of my comment. That's not it. You could replace that with whatever country could offer those salaries.
