But in the EU they take 60% of your income in taxes.

My effective tax rate is like 25%. So the sucker is you. I can pay $1000 for a sleep study and still have thousands left over for a rainy day from the income my government didn't take from me.

Thats not true. Here is a source for personal income tax in france: https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/france/individual/taxes-on-personal-income.  I think alot of americans dont understand how taxes work in alot european countries, yes there high top tax for the highest earners but no where near 60% lol. Here is an example from france: If you make EUR 60'000 a year living in the region of Île-de-France you will be taxed EUR 16'449. That means that your net pay will be EUR 43'551 per year or EUR 3'629.25 per month. Your average tax rate is 27.4%. Here you can check it out: https://www.service-public.gouv.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F1419?lang=en

Are you overtraining? What's your exercise regimen? I noticed I had to cut back on some training last year because the volume and intensity was simply too much combined with all the other work I was doing (I noticed it by not waking up rested).

Yeah, US healthcare system is amazing

Wow. This is so sad. Fucken takes it like a champ though - bad situation but doesn't let it turn him into a negative blackpilled snail.

The smarter thing to do is put away savings to use as medical funds (I have a separate account just for this) as private health in America SUCKS. Absolute grift/scam.

But when you are young, invincible feeling and full of testosterone, health issues don't seem real - that is just some shit old people have to deal with!!!! So you spend it on disposable crap. /s


It is far easier to trick someone, than to convince them they have been tricked.

Let the private sector get too involved in inelastic demand systems like schools, healthcare, housing etc. and see how it plagues them like some sneaky parasite. 

They are in there for profit. I hope these neo-libs will understand some day that the private sector is about profit. If profit does not align with people's interests, then they need to be heavily regulated by the state or even kicked out completely form that specific "market".
