The higher rent you'd pay if you chose to live closer to where you work so that you wouldn't have to drive should also be tax deductible I guess.

I don't think any country has a healthcare system privatized to a higher degree than Switzerland? Yet they still manage to spend quite a bit less per capita than the US.

On average they seem seem to be paid quite a bit more (at least by 2x?).

Why do you think I'm celebrating anything? And again, it seems mostly tangential to the matter at hand. I think it's far from ideal that Facebook and some other platforms force you to reveal your identity. However once they have,

So do you believe defamation laws should not exist at all or that they should not apply to anything publicly published on Facebook? Obviously courts should consider severity and other factors but factors like damage to reputation, other da

How do we know that? Slander is something you can sue another person for in just about anywhere(?) and there is nothing in the article about what was actually said. In this case the (allegedly) injured party doesn't even know who to su

This specific case seems to be about defamation and (I suppose) the right of the plaintiff to know the identity of the person who supposedly accused(?) them of something? I'm not sure what does this have to do with freedom of speech. I

Which mean what? You should've picked ~2000, the 90s saw significant decline (of course you're only looking at GDP which not something we have reliable figures for from the 80s).
