When I developed a life-threatening condition which my US insurance would never have covered, the National Health Service saved my life.&lt;p&gt;These things don&amp;#x27;t matter until they really, really, really do. Having seen the grass on both sides of the fence, I can attest that it really &lt;i&gt;can&lt;/i&gt; be meaningfully greener.</text></comment>

I have two sisters that could lose access to birth control and planned parenthood. One of them dates a black man and already gets racial slurs thrown at them in public. These results are only going to embolden that behavior. America has voted for a mysogynistic sexist at its highest ceremonial office, you don&amp;#x27;t think that affects what is acceptable discourse? You don&amp;#x27;t think the SCOTUS is changed for a generation now?</text></comment>
