Sorry, I was alluding to how expensive everything is here. Even with our free healthcare, the average American still has more disposable income than the average NZer.
And unfortunately decades of underfunding and budget cuts has our 'free' health system on its knees. Many people now pay for health insurance or even fundraiser to go private because waiting lists are so insane. If it continues on the way it is, people are goi g to end up with the American system anyway as people will opt for paid insurance that gives them far more choice and better access than the poor person system will (aka our current system will become like Medicaid and not people will be insured or user paid anyway).

Sorry to be all doom and gloom on a gaming community, just sometimes really sucks to be so isolated and watching society around you go to shit.

Any, I'm gonna go put my energy where I want it to go and do some volunteer work 😊
