    So ten days of work. And in return you avoid death. It’s still an amazing deal, and nobody is forced to do it.

    My comment is here to remind people to be thankful for the world we live in because it’s better than the lives of most humans who have ever lived.

      So what should they do without 10 days of income they likely need for food, shelter, etc? Not eat? Get evicted? Sounds like a great way to not avoid death

        As I said they don’t have to do it. I haven’t had any cancer screenings, for instance, and I’m not bitter about that.

        I just paid $1600, which took me a year to save up, for a surgery that left my bellybutton fucked up and itchy, but at least it won’t slowly tear open now like it would if I lived in nature.

        I’m thankful to be here. Others don’t have to be thankful for the incredible medical options we have around us, but my advice is that they do.

        $600 to potentially avoid death is incredible. And, if it’s not worth it to someone, no one is forcing them to do it.

        Thank god I was born here instead of a any other moment of human history. That is all I have to say.

        You seem very deeply invested in bitterness, so I’m not willing to put any more effort into changing your mind. Take it or leave it, and maybe look up the health effects of different emotional states if living well is important to you.

        Goodbye.
