I have several questions: 1. What exact syntactic differences does this have from rust, and why? Some differences I see are in function definitions: lack of `fn` keyword, `->` for function return type, and colons for parameter types. 2.

Single-payer is one option, but for those of us who don't trust the US federal government to do it right, there is another option. There are three main reasons employer-provided insurance is so popular: - The ACA failed Americans by re

Obamacare was a massive failure for most Americans, and the VA is filled with horror stories. A large portion of young people don't think Social Security and Medicare will be around when they're older. And the financial stability

The free market, where competition is involved, produces companies that serve the interests of consumers in the most efficient way. The current healthcare environment is not a free market, government is involved heavily at every level. Whic

We don't, but Americans have different answers for how to fix it. Some want to liberalize and deregulate healthcare, allowing the market to actually serve consumers. Some want to make it single-payer or nationalize it, which given the

I really don't understand this article. Is reads like an AI was instructed to craft a piece with as many big words and buzzwords as possible. Maybe I'm just not the target audience, or too tired, dumb, or ignorant to understand it

That doesn't seem even remotely true. Taking on large amounts of debt can be risky in many cases. But consider the following case: - newly purchased $150k home with down-payment of $30k - $80k savings / investments - $20k car - $8

The right way to run a gifted program is to have class placement tied to ability, not to age. If someone is good at math, put them in the next higher math class. If someone is good at reading, bump them up. It works well for under-performin

Does winning the popular vote mean anything under the current system? It's not hard to assume that many people would vote very differently if the electoral college wasn't involved. For instance, left-leaning people might vote mo
