  Could you help me find a new job too?

    Unfortunately probably not.

    I’ve been doing resume reviews, mock interviews, and making coding tests for friends but I can’t do that anonymously for strangers.

    If you have something you want me to look over I can, I just probably can’t help with the other stuff.

      I wasn’t being serious, just making a joke. But I appreciate what you for friends. We have to keep helping each other wherever we can

      I don’t need help finding a job, but I do need some advice. I have a structured settlement and I need cash now. What should I do?

      What about taxes? Can you help me do my taxes? I’m trying to do it myself, but it’s asking me to fill in the lines from Schedule II, and I don’t know what that is! My numbers add up, and either my refund is 42 billion dollars, or $0. In either event, I fear I’ve screwed this up.

  At least China has universal healthcare

    No they don’t. They have state provided health care, supplemented with private options.

    But they are not universal in the sense that (1) not the entire population is covered (2) health care is not close to free for most people.

    There is literally a hit movie couple years ago about the difficulty to obtain affordable prescription drugs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying_to_Survive

      Damn I had no idea. My in-laws were considering to move to China (they’re originally from HK) and I had assumed it’s because the healthcare/elderly care was better there than in Canada, but maybe not?

        I should specify I am referring to mainland China. Hong Kong has a different health care systems, and the health care is usually considered reasonably affordable for residents (could be because people in Hong Kong are more wealthy than most of mainland China)

    My understanding is they do not.

    Which is kind of the worst of both worlds.
