   It only involves fees in less developed banking systems like the US. European banks transfer large amounts of euros to other banks with no fees.

   You've been provided data that wealthy, equal societies have low birth rates, yet still you hold on to not only that "there are other confounding factors" but that actually the effect is the opposite? I'm having a hard t

    Well you're not completely truthful here. Yes you can work under J1, its an internship or traineeship visa. J-1 in general is related to learning tho. But there is nothing against doing something for money.

    I would suggest that the be apart is that they don't marry out tradition/social norms anymore. They just stay single, because it's more okay to stay single for longer + no desire for kids

    Right, and that's why LA with its 30+ degrees Celsius, right next to San Diego, is stil growing in the amount of cases per day.

    In my anecdotal experience I haven't seen it hard. Lots of counties in California are offering free testing for anyone. Not to mention commercial testing has been open for anyone for months now.

    Less spending on police, even less trained officers, great right?

    Please don't use LA as an example. Its not a city that can be compared to any other because of its weird patchwork nature and stupid geographic boundaries.

    It's always great seeing tons of HN commenters never really realising the potential completely valid reasons a VC would fund a business like this. It feels in part fueled by the media and general anti-VC thing that's going on.

    Could it be that soon you're just spending that money on other things as clearly your preferences have changed?

    I think you underestimate the human desire to consume. Making food at home suddenly makes you want to invest in higher quality ingredients, better tools. Maybe even a bigger kitchen! How did you come up with remote work increasing savings?

    Where in the article did you read that that was the only outcome of GDPR? Did you miss how all European companies now need to take privacy seriously?
