It doesn't really seem necessary for "A a = A{}" and "A a = {}" to be different things to have power and expressiveness. It really seems like uniform initialization covered just one arbitrary case while making other

Actual casinos is something people vote for with their wallets, but are heavily regulated because it's known they are dangerous and harmful to susceptible people. I don't think the whole mobile "whales" thing is any diff

I find the parent's Einstein example odd, as I would have called him exactly what you suggested no one would call him. He was German born, but I wouldn't hesitate to say he was American, Swiss or Austrian

That's normal, but overall not a large percentage of people are actually paying that: people with salaried jobs are typically insured through their employer (where they often end up paying a smaller percentage), the lowest earners are
