Wealthy people can already buy their way to better private health care. These changes would regulate the difference between health care for the middle/upper middle class and the po…

It's not withholding health care. It's withholding American tax money from being used for people who are not Americans. They're free to pay for health care for themselves.

Especially when it covers non-citizens and people who are illegally in the country. We could at least have a little compromise by making health care more tiered so that citizens, p…

I read the OP post as "not everyone deserves an interesting and fulfilling job" rather than "only engineers deserve an interesting job"

It has more to do with her political involvement and activism than her gender or race. There will always be people who dislike polarizing political figures.

These massive breaches sort of scare but at the same time sort of relieve me. If everyone has their information leaked, there is a low chance that any one person will be an identit…

Opinion pieces aren't taken kindly in these parts of the woods.

Victimhood has been used to justify aggression and heinous acts throughout history.

So are the developers of Filecoin just going to retire in Hawaii now after becoming rich?

Because that's more political and it was an opinion piece. This is more "technical" and neutral. HN flags both anti and pro women's agency articles (most opinion articles actually)…
