In those countries, the wife/mother of the family doesn’t work outside the home and handles childcare and elder care inside the home. Not taking a stand on what’s the best structure, but that’s the “somehow” you’re referring to.

It’s really hard to imagine a scenario where 1 nuclear weapon is launched at the United States that doesn’t doesn’t end in the proverbial Mutually Assured Destruction. The US and Russia together have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the wo

Absolutely, if there was a way for insurance to provide value on a non-catastrophic basis, I’d be all for it. Right now it feels like The worst of all worlds. Expensive and only useful in worst-case circumstances.

I actually didn’t have health insurance a few years ago and signed up for one of the non religious “health shares”. But I ended up in the hospital for a few days with a condition that was never fully diagnosed before I was discharged and th

They do have free teleheath and I do appreciate that. If I don’t absolutely need to be seen in person, I use the telehealth option. No other features, tbh. It’s a bronze ACA plan in the NY State exchange. The yearly out of pocket maximum is

I feel this. I pay $500 a month for insurance with a $6000 deductible. I would have to have more than $12,000 in medical expenses every year before I would break even on this.

You’re not wrong, but hoping people will choose anything other than the default thing is going to result in failure. If you lay out cities for cars, people will use cars. If you build massive urban areas in places that stay in the 90s with

It's a tough line to walk. Nihilism might be right, but people who find something to live for seem to have a lot easier time getting out of bed in the morning while they are alive.

Fun theory: the only reason the USD has intrinsic value is because it is required for paying taxes for anyone living or doing business in the United States. It puts a legally-mandated floor on the demand for the dollar and provides the ass

I know Disney’s first residential development, Celebration, FL got mocked relentlessly for being a “fake place” but I think that’s incredibly misguided. If you’ve visited Florida, you know that almost all new development is subdivisions wit

So the demoralization process was complete many times over already in 1984 and the other steps only took a year at most? I wonder whatever became of the United States. I guess we’ll never know.

That could be it. Also I think maybe "satisfied" is way of saying "I think this is worth it". People continue on in bad situations all the time because they think -- all things considered -- it's worth it compared t

Most people don't make it a year regardless. Once you're in bad enough shape to need a nursing home, it's rare for anyone to last long. Being sick enough to not be able to handle activities of daily living has a worse prognos

There are so many answers here to the effect of “Stop right now, find an acceptable partner, get married, have kids, everything else is meaningless.” From all the long-term (7+ years) couples I know well enough to know if they are actually
