A cautionary example - especially in light of the recent government shutdown in the U.S. - of the risks that come with government run health care.

So here’s the problem: if you compensate someone for 72 hrs/wk, then absolutely expect 72 hrs/wk.
The problem is there’s a growing expectation by employers to just work more and not get an increase in pay.
And worse - it’s rural wages for work in Silicon Valley.

Having just traveled to London, I made an interesting observation: the BBC news app shows/headlines for more British news when I’m in England, while flooding me with predominantly US news when I’m home.
1 of the worst outcomes of the UK and US sharing language is UK institutions (BBC/Guardian), celebrities etc realise that the US is the big market for them and so position themselves accordingly. As a result the BBC and Guardian and other become obsessed with the tawdry domestic politics of the US

I have a little confession. Sometimes I like to go into Best Buy and just listen. I pretend to be shopping or modem bearings or a left handed torque wrench. What I'm really doing is hearing how people sell computers. I remember when 8x CD burners were all the rage. I recall picking one particular machine because it had an integrated Sound Blaster card.
