If there was a concern it should have been acknowledged long ago. Having education not being viewed as a public good leads to market outcomes. Nothing new apart from being digital and more freely available. A triumph of the free market that people so dearly love. There's no morality in the free market, only regulations reduce the impact of human or organ trafficking.

Even those that aren't residents and happen to be visiting or on a visa.

Know what the best thing about national healthcare service? I don't have to think about it. It's there. How much it costs? Doesn't matter? Will I become destitute if severely ill? No. Do I allow my fellow countrymen to be supported in times of need? Absolutely. Do I obtain natural hedging benefits from pooling risks into a bigger pot rather than having broken risk pools managed by thousands of insurance companies? Yup. Do countries with national service have greater costs than for-profit insurance healthcare? Nope, quite the opposite. Is life expectancy shorter in countries with national service? No, on the contrary, people live longer.

Making sure everyone has access to treatment when in need should be viewed as a large achievement of societal living and a great patriotic duty, your fellow citizens are protected.

But sure, without insurance middlemen milking people dry some people won't get to enjoy their third mansion. Well, only if someone doesn't have preexisting conditions otherwise you're on your own and left to get treatment when in need and filling bankruptcy at the same time. The pinnacle of human development.

I use a separate usb adapter to the earphones. iBasso dc03 has separate usb c cable that I've been able to replace when the original broke. Cheap replacement rather than tossing the whole thing away.

For earphones, I use kefine delci as they're comfortable for my ears and sound good enough. When the cable eventually breaks, a new pair is cheaper and the earphones can still be used.
