Hey this is me working at Unity! The never ending churn building a thing that I tell people to not use is terrible. In a few months though I can handle a change or gap in insurance though so I've got a light at the end of the tunnel at least

This is just so fucked. In no way do I mean on your end, but just that the system begets inhumane situations like this.

I don't think you give someone an A+ for doing 1% of the project really really well.

Like the Nazis were actually environmentalists. They also advanced medical science by decades. Do we praise them for it?

Their medical work was bunk

The both is america medical pinnacle is a+. American general availability is c-. (Anyone can go to a quality emergency room but won't afford regular care)

A lot of third world countries have top of the line medical treatments. The difference to socially developed countries is in how accessible it is to the general population.
