<p><i>>When healthy competition exists, you can't just arbitrarily charge people more, because they'll just go buy from a competitor.</i><p>Competition is meaningless when they're all owned by Blackrock and Vanguard to an extent. They can easily sacrifice a brand to test the waters, knowing consumers will move to buy from their other brands which the also own.</p>

<p>I know. That was tongue-in-cheek sarcasm for the Ponzi government pay-as-you-go pension system in most European countries that's said to collapse in the future unless we import infinity migrants to fund it. I was expecting people would catch onto it being tongue-in-cheek.</p>

<p><i>>The gig economy is hiding the real employment problem in most of the West.</i><p>This. Jobs that were previously contract employment jobs that came with  health insurance, workers rights and social security and were mostly taken by youth as part time jobs to fund studies, are now turned into gig jobs where you get none of those things and are mostly taken by migrants who live 10 in an apartment and send the money home.<p>Gig work used to mean that you have several customers you bounce around for doing part time gigs, not you work full time for the same tax dodging Amsterdam based food delivery company who doesn't want to hire local workers on employment contracts to evade labor laws and liabilities.<p>How does this benefit society? It only benefits the capital owning class. Why isn't the government regulating this gig industry abuse? It's literally what its job is.</p>

<p>Both are true. Because when the abundance runs out, people start using nepotism to get what they need. You can see it in the tech job market now. More and more good jobs are only through networking. Meritocracy alone was enough during the times of abundance.</p>

<p>Ok but urgency is a different kettle of fish. Life threatening cases get urgency everywhere and immediate care everywhere.<p>Let's focus on the other part you said, "waiting 1 year" if it's not urgent. 1 year sucks no matter how you spin it around.</p>

<p><i>>The interruption occurred after the institution exceeded the 152.5 terabyte storage limit contracted with the technology giant, which maintains a partnership with UFRN .</i><p>152 TB is something nerds self host in closet home labs, no need to tie yourself up to Google. I though people went to google for solutions with much more scale than just 152TB.<p>I did a quick check and for a name-brand (but not DELL or HPE solution) 200TB self hosted server with redundancy you're looking at 16K USD upfront cost and then you need to add your own maintenance and support costs which shouldn't be too high with Brazil labor costs and university's easy access to (often voluntary) skilled labor.<p>From what I can gather this is still cheaper than paying Google.</p>

<p>Doesn't work like that in Austria. Or my doctor's were unwilling to fake urgency to bypass the waiting system for me.<p>Anyway, do you not realize the fault with the system in your logic? Because if everything becomes urgent in order to bypass queues, then nothing is urgent anymore.<p>It doesn't fix the problem, you're just scamming the system to get ahead of the problem.</p>

<p>No, but the pattern of criminals of Jewish background fleeing to Israel for protection after commiting a crime, is too often to ignore.<p>Same thing happened in my post communist country and the neighboring country too. Perp stole tens of millons through a banking scam in the 90s, then fled to Israel because he was Jewish and claimed persecution.<p>At which point should the pattern be acknowledged?</p>

<p>How does that disprove what I said about abundance or lack thereof in socialized systems? Feels like an orthogonal issue.<p>Socialized systems don't work without abundance. How you generate that abundance is orthogonal to socialism since even  countries that are wealthy on paper suffer from shortages and long waiting times in public healthcare leading to a gray-market of using connections to get ahead or more private use.</p>
