Is it ok now to call the US electorate suckers?

"US Republicans consider health care cuts to fund Iran war" - https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/us-republicans-consider-he...

A reminder Israel has both universal healthcare and tuition free university...and voted yesterday to give $255 million to ultra-Orthodox programs and institutions, including yeshivas...that actually refuse to engage in military conscription...

I don't think you have to wait for 2026 on that one.

This is both wrong and off topic.

Israel health care is funded by a 5% additional income tax tier. non working people pay a significant fixed annual fee.

University is not free. $5K for the public institutions - which have limited admissions. $10K for many of the spill over private institutions.

Now - about those space lasers ....

5k is almost free. And yes you pay tax to find universities. Makes sense. Paying full tuition in the USA is like paying a tax, only worse, it's a lot more.

As disgusted as I am with Israel's action over the last 80 years, put the blame where it belong.

5k is far from nothing, it is more than enough in any country than subsidize higher education.

Which is most of the world at this point.

I mean have you seen what US colleges cost?

The US is very much an outlier.

This give a very different picture:

Israeli media reports that today USA bombed a school again with an experimental ballistic missle, killing 21 people: https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/iran/2026-03-30/ty-...

US is already very unpopular even among the traditionally very pro-US populations, which means anyone not distancing themselves from US will underperform and in many cases pro-US politicians will be ousted.

These posts are getting flagged but its actually vey relevant for US tech as US tech may end up blocked across the world with potentially reducing its userbase by %90 percent as US population quite small actually.

edit: Well, crap. I was wrong. Apologies!

I guess we've obliterated two schools now. Ugh.

No, this is a different strike. Please read the NYT article you linked more carefully.

> The Feb. 28 attack occurred the same day as a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile struck a school in the city of Minab, several hundred miles away, killing 175 people. In the case of Lamerd, though, it involved a weapon that had been untested in combat.

Crap, you're right. My apologies.

Oh its from 2 days ago? Okay then, let's vote in the politicians that will drag us to war crimes and genocides with US and Israel - said no one.

You're welcome to review my commenting history; I'm by no means supportive of either administration nor the Iran War. (You'll find me, for example, noting Israel's campaign in Gaza is ethnic cleansing; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46519718)

edit: Strike the rest.

That's fine I don't accuse you of anything.

People are now joking about Iran deploying inflatable schools as decoy so to make US spent their bombs on those.
