cookieswumchorr··on Ask HN: How do you protect your parents from tech scammers?
if they call you, it's them who want something from you, right? So they can just bugger off. My bank in Russia used to call me all the time to offer stuff, usually credits. I've ended up just blacklisting them. If there's anything wrong with my account they never call, they block the card and wait for me to call them

cookieswumchorr··on Life expectancy in the U.S. is declining for middle-aged people of all groups
in Germany, the actual doctors office that treats you may be a for-profit, but they get the cash from your (mandatory) insurance, and the law regulates what kind of treatment is essential and therefore included in the mandatory healthcare plan. You can have a private healthcare plan that gets you extra treatment, or pay yourself for it. But it's really Stuff you can live without.

another example, in Russia, you have _theoretically_ the same system, but the level of treatment covered by the mandatory insurance is totally insufficient by any reasonable modern standards, so you have to pay all the way. And it's not about debt, it's often about not getting live-saving treatment before you cash out.

Yes, in theory it should be like this. But in real-life "Nation" is 99% used to describe a group of people who have the same passports. Which kind of ruins the concept of a nation to me. I feel more connection to people in the same industry, or the same hobbies then based on citizenship
