#3It's relatively common IME to see cynical, anti-government sentiment from HN commenters. Perhaps these comments are aimed at the US.

For clarity & comment skimmers:
TFA uses $100,000 in the subheading and beyond. Some European countries use `.` as a thousands separator, so it's not "a hundred dollars a day".
