I hope to see it reach 10% within my lifetime

Most of my expense, other than taxes, are healthcare costs. I know of no way I can reduce how often my family needs healthcare, and I have thousands of dollars in healthcare debt still not paid. We rarely travel, rarely eat out, and rarely splurge. Maybe there is some way to squeeze our belts even tighter and make it work.

It is easier to just move to a country with more affordable healthcare. 12 years ago when I met Americans living and working in Japan I didn't believe them when they said they were better off in Japan making less money than in the US because of how expensive healthcare is in the US. Now I regret not believing them. My family's healthcare costs grew faster than our incomes.

Those strikes come with a significant price tag. In some cases, U.S. forces have used Tomahawk missiles, which can cost about $2 million each. But even beyond the costs themselves, analysts warn that the U.S. is quickly depleting its weapons stockpiles, which were already running thin after years of military support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.

“The price of the munitions themselves may be pennies to the Pentagon financially, but using so many of them amounts to a significant blow to our actual stockpiles of these weapons,” said Mr. DiMino, the Defense Priorities analyst. “By some estimates, the Navy has already used more than a year’s worth of [Tomahawk missile] production in Yemen. It takes time to build these things. So, the costs are not just sticker price. It can set back our production by years in some cases.”

Really a testament to the importance of labour unions. They lift up the pay even for workers not in unions.

I have been thinking of starting my own Arabic instance since Lemmy has Arabic support. I am just not prepared for such a project.

The US media allows charlatans and grifters to rise to the top. Worse, their nonsense gets translated into Arabic and spread by our idiots.

Good thing I live in a country with mandatory vaccination.

A public utility shouldn’t depend on a for-profit platform

Any sane person would have seen this outcome coming. The leavers were still stuck in the Victorian Era with their mentality.
