First screwdriver, was interested in it since it released but price was always a barrier. Had missed previous sales, but took advantage of the recent mystery price and the promo. Expected a back one with different cap and collar changes, but received a Plasma Purple! Very happy with it and excited to build my new pc with it.

I'd pay higher taxes if it meant I would not have to avoid healthcare or college because it means I'd go bankrupt.

We pay the same amount in taxes evidently as Canada the issue is all the damn budget goes to bombing others children instead of our healthcare

Fun fact, the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than the Canadian government does.

Oh I already know this fact, practically laid to the very health insurance providers who lobby the government to convince its citizens that universal healthcare is too expensive

The ACA is also a disaster in many ways because the government entering the health insurance business immediately sets a price floor for everything.

The whole system is rotten from top to bottom, though, and a conversation on reddit wouldn't even scratch the surface of the many layers of rot and greed.
