I know it's not the same as opiates, but a crappy dentist in suburban Illinois once gave me a Vicodin prescription after a root canal. I was so confused

I’m not sure how income tax % to GDP is relevant here, but perhaps I am looking at a wrong thing, it’s quite painful on mobile UPD: looked at the tax wedge, the US vs UK looks pretty similar to me- which supports my point. Germany looks a

I was providing my personal anecdotal experience of having the basically the same net income in 3 places. 37% federal tax also does not account for 6.8% state tax and the 3.8% NYC tax which I know does not apply to all of the US, but then w

Using spain and greece for comparison sure seems like cherrypicking your data. Also it has been proven many times by many people that if US were to transition to single payer insurance system, it would actually decrease the spending. No one

Sure it is necessary to understand the problem to fix it, I am not denying that. Sure, “refusing to pay” vs “paying a lot and accomplishing fuck all” are different problems. But the context of this discussion is “can US healthcare system be

Oh, spare me the semantics, the difference is still single digit % of the total income.

I don’t know how “spending more money for less benefits” is better than “callously refusing to spend any money”? If your country has good intentions or bad it makes very little difference when u’re dying from treatable cancer because u can’

Better how? It is probably better if you do not intend to have children or ever need medical care. People saying that taxes in the US are much lower than Europe, as a person who lived in London, San Francisco and NYC I’d like to disagree. T

Wait, I pay 3K for my apartment in Manhattan. It’s by no means a palace but it’s not a shithole. The previous tenant lived in my apartment for 8 years. The “maintenance” you speak of constituted of painting everything with a single coat of

It's not quite the same though. US war in Vietnam or any of the -stan countries was pretty far from home and pretty easy to disassociate from. Russia invading Ukraine is like US invading Mexico, it's not as easy for people to swal

I have relatives in Ukraine that don't have a burning desire to fight, but it is a bit more reasonable to go fight when you're being shelled by some other country. As for my Russian friends, they do not want to fight in this war b

I am not sure what you’re saying here about cropping. You can see how much of an image is available if you double click on same image. If your designer set it up in a billion of groups you may have to double click a whole bunch. But how is

No the point is that adobe has shitty business practices and their software is also bloated and crappy and has done fuck all to make my life as a designer easier in the past decade. The fact that overwhelming amount of designers switched ov

"Sometimes the artboards, components, or whatever the structure in use is doesn't match up with dev needs" - this really sounds like you should tell your designers. "how it's being cropped" - it's not bein
