    If it makes you feel better, it costs an average of $18,865 for an uninsured American to give birth to a healthy baby, and a tenth of the country is uninsured.

    I mean, it doesn’t make me feel better, because I live here. But you don’t, so YMMV. Or I suppose YKMV, in metric, because the US still uses imperial measurements for everything, because we’re too good for real numbers. USA! USA!

      Why would other humans being miserable make me happy, I’m not Peter Thiel.

        Sorry, I’m American, I’ve forgotten how normal human empathy works. I’ve heard that in some places society isn’t entirely driven by spite but I think that’s a myth.
