The US healthcare system is incredible compared to socialized systems if you can afford it. That's at least part of the reason it represents 17% of GDP. The same procedure I needed had a 2 day wait time in the US and a 10 month wait ti

If you genuinely refuse to use AI for any part of your job in 2026 you are the moron. Of course, you can go too far in the other direction but that's not what your comment is describing.

Canada just gives you a fixed amount of cash every year for the sales tax that they estimate that you paid on a regular amount of consumption (HST credit) which solved that problem. I don't think it's fair that someone who earns $

Grading assignments just punishes people that don't cheat on their homework. It's worse than worthless, it actively helps the worst students.
