their whole point is that the law can be abused

It's silly that believing more government intervention will solve the problem, given that a big reason healthcare became tied to employment in the first place was wage freezes by the government, from which employer sponsored health insurance was exempt.

We're not going to solve it by constraining the supply of healthcare by regulating every aspect of it, and then subsidizing the demand.

neither, for the same reasons

Yeah it's probably a combination, which might explain why my experience isn't the norm. Ever since I had it done, any poke, foreign objects like sand, etc. is much more painful than before, so the pain from dryness gets amplified. I've used eye drops and gels, but the most effective thing is just avoiding things that mess with electrolyte levels, like alcohol, medications, and certain foods.

you mean artificially colored canola soy extrusions, with an unspecified (i.e. very small) quantity of chemically replicated salmon cells? how about counterfeit biohazard salmon?

I had PRK 15 years ago. I also woke up multiple times last night because my eyes felt like they had a bad sunburn (eyes so dry they stick to your eyelids + REM sleep.)

Some unsolicited advice: wait for widespread adoption, and review data on long term side effects from sources without a conflict of interest before you have a procedure like this. I went from 20/150 to 20/15 for a few years (which was pretty cool) but they're 20/40 now so I wear glasses/contacts when I leave the house anyway. Glasses and/or contacts aren't that bad.

having been a customer for more than a decade, I've noticed an inverse correlation between their org size and the quality of their products

by that logic every business in the country should be nationalized, given the existence of the civil rights act

perfect is the enemy of good, with WhatsApp being neither (at least wrt privacy)

yes, as a citizen of the USA, deporting the non-citizens feels exactly like slavery

how many people do you know who actually believe in the 2nd amendment and don't support trump? do you even live in the US?

that would imply the existence of an objective authority on the meaning of the statement, which is debatable

piracy probably wasn't the reason they won back then, but I think the point was that the change in IP enforcement since then might be the reason they can maintain their lead now
