I do have access to healthcare, as long as I can wait a few years, thanks to the wonders of the NHS. Google is but one company, the privacy respecting OSS I use still works great for me, better than ever in fact, Linux phones and GNOME have come a long way. There is a disturbing right wing trend across the world, but these things come in cycles, eventually it will go back in the other direction, and I wouldn’t exchange it for the other benefits of today’s world.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s awful. It’s just I don’t see earlier times being much better.
