Wealthiest country on earth

🤣 It's like putting one leg in boiling hot water, the other one in liquid nitrogen and calling it room temperature.

The US is a third world country with some very rich people.

I use my remarkable 2 for that. Pretty expensive compared to other typically ebook readers but I use it to take notes too and it's basically a pen and paper replacement for me.

What? According to your comments that would mean that for example Austria has only eight dentists in the public health care system? That's just not true.

Of course, no matter how good a system is, we can always try to improve it, like including more services, but it's of course a balance.

There is a ~~simple~~ way that would improve health care in practically all countries: Make private health care illegal, not from one day to the next, but gradually. The only way to improve health care would then be to improve health care for everybody.

We might very well be in the end times and maybe AI will wipe us from the planet to prevent earth from becoming Venus.

So bezos and his guests flying dozens of individual private jets to Venice are the "younger generations"? It doesn't have a lot to do with age but seems to correlate with wealth. The wealthier you are (as a nation and an individual) the more you typically (on average) contribute to climate change.

Things don't scale linearly like that. Many things are proportional to either the surface (so x²) or volume (x³) or complex combinations of those.

The "may" carries a lot of weight so it probably depends. The way US law works is pretty weird IMHO and the reason for many of such disclaimers/waivers. "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear", "Contents may be hot", etc.

That's right and I don't blame anyone who bought a Tesla or anything really (except that you have to be out of your mind to buy a car without knobs 🤣 for that price) and people still buy from Amazon and Nestle and I don't blame them either. That's actually something that politics would have to solve, but that's an entirely different story.

Wave was actually on to something because it had the capabilities to be federated like email but more modern.
