Oh yes, the United States, founded on religious freedom, is the place where you get stoned in the street for blasphemy.


Try to say anything related to sex or sexual freedom in the US and they will immediately lynch you. Welcome to USAbad, a Puritanic republic.


That's hilarious.


I'm going with the scientists on this one, not some random dude on HN.


Tell me another way you can have a chance to change your life and the life of everyone you love, so substantially, for just $2. If you can spare $4/week it's worth the chance IMHO.


Way to completely discount the thousands of smart people who actually made it happen.


Probably fees, but that's true of the many S&P 500 funds also.


Cover letters are a scourge on society anyway.


Are you serious? Every pregnancy doesn't follow the precise set of rules you've laid out here. What an arrogant comment.


Do you have children?

If you do, can you share a timeline to compare?

If you don't, remember to get medical advice from a real medical doctor, not from movie tropes or random internet comments.


Given that 2 million is barely enough to retire on, does that mean you think everyone should work until they die?


We should have a welfare state that provides for people who are retired (just like we should for other non-workers, like children, the disabled, students, etc.).


With a 4% burn rate 2 million is $80k a year plus social security.

I don't think that describes barely enough for the vast majority of people.


When you’re always in danger of going broke from a medical condition or emergency, $80k isn’t enough to feel secure. The system is designed so it’s never enough but you can reduce risk with more.


In most countries with such taxes you can retire and have the state pay you.


2 million is barely enough to retired on in a country without a social safety net. But one of the points of taxing people is to provide that safety net.


Ruby on Rails is still the best at what you're describing if it's a web app.


You haven't seen Florida drivers turn right on red. Also, is death the only measurement? Would you be happy to be paralyzed or maimed?
