> will your children feel similarly?

I don't think we're neglecting our children at all. They have good childcare, plenty of time with their parents, and everything they need. I don't expect they will resent our choices here.

> How much have you saved to make sure they can go to college without debt?

Saving for college doesn't make much sense: the good schools have a price discrimination policy where the amount they charge is the amount you can pay. If you're not rich enough to pay the sticker price, each dollar you save is a dollar more you'll need to pay to the school.

> Perhaps start a business someday?

If they have good ideas they'll be able to convince people to fund them. Capital is far more accessible than it ever has been. I'm not worried.

> How much of your charitable donation goes to direct aid of the end recipient, and how much is skimmed off the top in administrative overhead?

It sounds like what you're getting at is, what are the actual effects of our donations? The majority of our donations have been to GiveWell's top charities (https://www.givewell.org/) and their recommendations are extremely well researched, and the money goes a long way (ex: https://www.givewell.org/charities/amf).

As an aside, the fraction of the donations that go to overhead vs directly to the recipient isn't a good way to measure the effectiveness of a charity. For example, imagine two charities:

A) Spends 95% of your money building wells, and 5% on administration.

B) Spends 80% of your money building wells, and 20% on administration.

Sounds like A is better, right? Except if B is using that administration spending on making sure they build wells out of materials that will stand up to heavy use over years, in places where the wells are most needed, and on checking up on past wells to make sure they're still in working order, a donation to B could easily result in far more benefit than a donation to A.

> Is the end organization subsidizing a wealthy individual minimizing tax exposure?

I'm not sure why you would think this, or what sort of mechanism you're imagining. The charity we've donated the most to, the Against Malaria Foundation, distributes long-lasting insecticide-treated bednets in areas with high levels of malaria.

If the plan qualifies for meeting the mandate, there shouldn't be maximums on essentials.

That’s funny (not in a good way!) because caffeine is one of the go-to remedies for migraine attacks.

It's a good 101 technique and worth trying, but I prefer a 102 alternative.

If have enough mindfulness, you start to notice this tension feeling that happens when learning. (I'm not talking about trying to get a project done, getting stuck with a compiler error, then "learning" how to solve it on Stackoverflow. The tension I'm talking about is usually subtle and happens when there isn't some sort of pressing other end goal, just learning to learn for learning and enjoyment.)

This tension is correlated to how well the unconscious mind is digesting what was learned and converting it into long term memory.

If I learn a lot and it is a difficult subject, I might get very tense within 5 minutes of reading. This means I need to take a break to let the mind digest what I just learned.

In the other direction, I can be reading a book and most of it is review, so I feel bored. My initial instinct was to skim to go over it faster, but that only reduces learning. Instead, I can dive into deeper levels of detail, focusing on how the author sees the world, why s/he is demonstrating their findings that particular way, and so on. Basically, diving in more aids learning.

Anyways, sometimes I can go for 2 hours of study straight and be in a happy middle ground of tension where my mind isn't overworked or underworked. This is the ideal state, sometimes called flow. By being mindful of this, my study sessions dynamically adapt to it, into an optimal state of learning.

Also, if it's too tense, I may not be getting it, because there is too much prerequisite material I don't know well. I might turn to wikipedia or other text books at that point. A detour can be fun, and is far better than not understanding the material. I once had to spend 3 full days learning over 20 new concepts (due to recursive prerequisites) just to read a paragraph in a book.
Sounds like you’re in America.

Elsewhere the ride to the airport is a quick cheap train. Electronic boarding so no need to checkin. But even if you do you’ve got a dedicated counter with someone waiting for you. Controls are under 2 minutes. Less than that if you have status you essentially walk through. (Fuck the American tsa those incompetent fools). And lounges overseas at a decent airline are like high end spas or better.

Checkout cathays first class lounge in hk. Or Singapore’s lounge for pps.

Then again, status at airlines that are not American come with some pretty excellent perks that are not found in America.

I’d take a long haul to retain status. The routes I fly and the frequency makes it a necessity. Taking a hot shower the minute you step off a plane before you meet a client is worth every dollar.
I feel like the phrase "neutral description of the things used" might be loaded.

> Your home, your 401k, is easy pickings for a bankruptcy court.

No, they are not. 401k is a protected asset, and is basically off limits to creditors. Similarly, it depends on the state, but most states provide for homestead protection from creditors. In some states, like Texas, the homestead protection amount is unlimited.
This has been tried in court. The general ruling is that emergency medical care has the right to reasonably assume, absent some health care proxy to the contrary, that you wish to be resuscitated and accept all good faith care administered to this effect.
401k isn’t eligible for bankruptcy liquidation, but all else is. You’re not wrong about the whole situation, it’s a financial bloodbath.
No nested categories. Mostly it’s centred around having the correct amounts for tax returns. Some categories like groceries and eating out I have but I haven’t really used it for budgeting—just curiosity. I tag everything as business or personal. I have a Tax/HST column to make that easier.

Every month I get all of my various accounts exported as csv and then import into sqlite with a single command. It was just something I was tinkering with at first and then it became something I used.

I have considered gnu Ledger but my own personal tool does what I need and it was fun to do. So I haven’t felt the need to.

Is that majority republicans, democrats or both?
Exactly. He made a big mistake. I suspect that he did not elect to have Medicare Part B, as he likely had private, employer-based insurance, which did not require him to. Usually the Medicare Part B premium is around $135/month. He was being penny-wise and dollar foolish, as Medicare Part B covers 80% of doctor's visits, outpatient care, medical supplies, etc. He probably would not need a Medigap plan, which covers the remaining 20% of Part B expenses, if he had employer-based insurance as creditable coverage.

He really should have known that Medicare is relegating certain hospitalizations to Part B. This is very common and not new news. However, the rules involved with it, from the ER to the actual floor, are really strange and take a lot of time to understand.

Yeah, you have to know and understand a ton of ridiculous rules prior to going on to Medicare. It is an unbelievable waste of time. Then, once you are on Medicare, you have to continue to keep a look-out of what is going on, including investigating certain rules, as things frequently change.

He has my sympathies as this sort of situation should never exist in a developed, civilized country, like the United States. But, he made a series of mistakes, passively mostly, which got him in to this situation.
>Is it the artists responsibility to make art for his audience? Or is it the audience's responsibility to try and understand the artist and his motivations?

I don't have a better metaphor, but the artist is a sheepdog. The audience are sheep. The artist's ideas are the pen. Even if going to the pen is great, the artist still needs to connect with the audience to get them there. He can't just stand next to the pen and think wow, I'm so clever.

Which sheep and how many does the sheepdog want? The art literati? To have prints of their work in every home? Investors who will give them a storied name and convince people that the work has a je ne se quoi?
> banning private health insurance

I don't think anyone is opposed to letting people buy private insurance on top of the obligatory single payer. Does any country actually ban additional private insurance?

> Is there an equivalent of a 'do not resuscitate' tattoo or something you can get that's along the lines of 'do not perform for-pay medical care on me'?

You can set yourself up to be judgment-proof, and hospitals can perform all the unwanted care they want to on you and they'll be able to collect basically $0. It's easier than it seems - move to Texas, leave all the assets in retirement accounts that you can, and plow all your liquid wealth into your primary residence.
At least those do not seem to be:

> There is no long term

> Certainty is strength, doubt is weakness

> Emulate the purported behavior of successful people

> The end supports the explanation of the means

But you're right in that it can be explained by fundamental attribution error in some part. It's still more understandable when the quite broad cognitive error (it's called fundamental for a reason!) is instantiated to some common manifestations.

> people are pushing for single payer and banning private health insurance

Single-payer does not mean abolishing private insurance.

Take the UK’s NHS for example - there’s a thriving private healthcare insurance and private healthcare provider industry there.

Trump’s bill is about price transparency - while the bill is not a bad thing it won’t solve the problem of inflated prices to counter insurance lowballing - I believe the end-result will be something like the “room rate” signs you see in hotel rooms in many states that show the maximum legally allowed billable rate for the room which is usually very high compared to the rate you’re actually paying.

As for the cost argument - people will NET save money because the tax increases to pay for universal coverage will be less than most people’s current healthcare expenses (assuming employers will pass on the savings from not having to pay for workplace health insurance as salary/wage rises for everyone).
I also had MCD as my first job at 15, and have a lot to appreciate.

My parents basically wanted me to experience a “crappy job” at least once (it really wasn’t that bad of a job, plus 50% employee discount which was a great deal for a teenager and McD lover), and told me that people who are versatile and are able to endure hardship will be able to make it through and pick oneself up even when life becomes difficult for whatever reason.

And another quote from my McD coworker, who was an aspiring music composer, changed my view on money, I had a problem with hoarding money (still kind of do) and he said to me “money is not the goal, it’s something to help achieve your goals”. Didn’t understand that until I was older but it eventually struck me.

Great place to be for teenagers looking for their first work experiences really.
This is mainly an issue with healthcare in the US, not “capitalism”.

The fact that providers can perform services on you without telling you up-front what the price will be is the problem. That isn’t how a lot of the rest of our capitalist society works - Amazon can’t raise the price of something I order from them after it’s shipped to me, my rent can’t change once I sign the lease contract which clearly states the charges up front, and so on...
Maybe I didn't make my point clear. The concept here is that, everyone has something that they prioritize - even if not explicitly.

So writing something like "Whatever happened to living a balanced life and the satisfaction of fulfilling a responsibility?" suggests that the primary priority you think is being under-emphasized is "living a balanced life."

This is very similar to the popular philosophy of "diversity of experience" being the ultimate priority, which is a remixed version of the classical philosophy of hedonism [1] (not to be confused with the modern interpretation which only focuses on sexual pleasure).

Well... Cuba, I guess.

I wonder how travel health insurance works for tourists there.
It reads like a list of fairly reasonable (imho) grievances, but except for a few they don't really seem related to the cargo cult phenomenon.

Namely these two do seem related to cargo cults: "The end supports the explanation of the means: A successful person's explanation of the means of his success is highly credible by the very fact of his success." "Emulate the purported behavior of successful people: This is the key to the cargo cult. To enjoy the success of another, just mimic his rituals."

But for instance, this one: "Good intentions suffice: You can always apologize." How is a culture of casual forgiveness related to cargo cults? That sounds like a Protestant approach to the topic of forgiveness, and insofar as Protestantism has been influential in America that approach to forgiveness probably does accurately generalize the American public. But where is the cargo cult angle?
I know this will get downvoted to oblivion, but these stories are just anecdotal. Thousands of people utilize medical care in the USA without much fanfare.

Topiramate (topomax) is the antidote worse than the disease. It turned me into a zombie, literally living in my head but too dead to even open my mouth to say “hi” or “good morning” when I made eye contact with a stranger (yes, I’m from the Midwest and we do that here).

It’s a real pity it actually kind of worked :/ I still don’t know if I would ever do it again.)
There's a meta answer about the general approach to such problems: Ask what other research areas must have tackled it, and then find out what they do. The obvious answer in this case is HEP, which would lead to some of the tools mentioned. (There's also https://www.psc.edu/index.php/hpn-ssh but I don't know how it compares.)

It's unfortunate how many researchers don't do such research...
Healthcare is literally the least "capitalistic" industry in the US. Posting prices is literally like a foundational concept. In many states, you still need to ask your local competitors for permission for if you can open up your own hospital.

Perhaps the real issue is the lack of capitalist principles? Perhaps the issue is CMS trying to micromanage everything via billing in a very centrally planned manner?

I think its interesting that the areas of the economy with the most government intervention are doing the worst... Healthcare, education, housing...etc. You could even throw in ISPs with their government guaranteed monopolies.

Meanwhile tech had basically no regulation. What do we see? Many things are free (yes even to the poor! Without a government guarantee or people going around proclaiming that it is a human right! Insane!). The industry also has some of the highest paid (no tech minimum wage to bring it about, insane!) and best treated workers...

FYI, there are good arguments that the 2/3 number is significantly misleading.

For instance, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5865642/ “ However, the magnitude of the bankruptcy effect is much smaller than previously thought: we estimate that hospitalizations cause only 4% of personal bankruptcies among nonelderly U.S. adults, which is an order of magnitude smaller than the previous estimates described above.”
I'm surprised meditation hasn't been mentioned yet.

Meditation drastically boosts focus and increases awareness, which then accelerates learning of whatever is being observed / studied.

Because of this, focus is a prerequisite for learning, and learning is a prerequisite for intelligence, so focus is very important and more beneficial than many realize.

> it is really difficult for me to understand why someone would give to their relatives some of their income.

This is an interesting mindset. I don't want to judge you either, but I never understood the value of keeping my money and collecting wealth. If I were struggling, I wouldn't go out of my way to help my family. But if I had extra income, I would help my family if they were in need.
This is false. Lieutenant Governors are appointed by the Prime Minister of Canada, but are beholden to neither the federal government nor the Governor General. Lt Governors simply perform the same role at the provincial level that the Governor General performs at the federal level: 99% of the time just a ceremonial rubber stamp of signing a bill into law.

Canadian provinces are spelled out specifically in the Canadian constitution; they are not creatures of the federal government (unlike municipalities, which do exist at the whims of provincial governments, which is a big problem IMHO, but I digress.)

The only paternalistic powers that the feds hold over the provinces are Disallowance and Reservation. Neither of those powers have been used in decades. Despite the failure of constitutional amendments that, if passed, would have explicitly removed those powers from the constitution, their disuse has raised questions as to whether they are effectively defunct by convention. I suspect that any attempt by the feds to disallow or reserve a provincial law would make its way to the Supreme Court of Canada to answer that question.

Furthermore, any attempt to use those powers on a provincial government, especially so in the case of either the governments of Québec or Alberta, would result in a serious crisis of national unity.
It's not capitalist though, is it? The reason that hospitals can bill arbitrary amounts retroactively is because the government allows them to. The reason that there isn't strong competition between vendors is again because of government intervention.

The role of the federal government isn't to interfere in an individual state's affairs. In fact, if this weren't the case there wouldn't be much reason to have states at all.

California's current situation is actually a very compelling argument in favor of states. If you don't like California's policies, you can move to another state that can have vastly different policies. That wouldn't be true if the federal government just homogenized every state. I shudder to imagine a version of the United States where the entire country runs with the efficiency and policy foresight of California.
