You are insane if you think the U.S. couldn't get you out of the politically, economically and militarily small Serbia or Pridnestrovia. The only place where you'd stand a serious chance is Russia, if there's political backin

The quality of life, in times of peace, does seem comparable to that of rural U.S.. Adding to that, U.S. households are orders of magnitude more personally indebted than Russia. I don't buy the "wealth" argument. A nation

The AKH (Vienna General Hospital) was orders of magnitude more expensive than the Nya Karolinska. It cost 43 billion Schilling to build in the 70s, amounting to roughly 5.8 billion euros today.

In the city center of Vienna rent for my three room apartment is 600 bucks. When I used to live in the U.S. I earned more for sure, but the quality of life and cost of living was such crap in comparison that it could never make it worth it.

Just because most stuff is botspam, that doesn't mean it's not worth it for the occasional Snowden or Panama Papers - those would have been next to impossible to safely execute without Tor.
