The new developer updates are so sterile and scripted. Those little outtakes/jokey bits are so cringey. I honestly struggle to even watch these.

I miss Jeff. I could listen to him all day.

You as a Brit spend $5,500

Eh, on average that may be true. But most people pay far less than that. The NHS's budget is £153bn, and the government raises £950bn in revenue. Of the 950bn, around 25% is from income tax.

So by that logic, the amount of my income tax that goes to the NHS is about 0.25*153/950 = 4.0%. Last year I paid £6644 in income tax, so that's about £265 to the NHS. I'm not counting National Insurance as those contributions are not for the NHS.

VAT is also 15% of government revenue, so if I wildly guess that I bought £10k worth of "stuff" last year then that's £2000 in VAT (@ 20% - it's not all necessarily 20% but to simplify), of which £300 went to the NHS.

So I'm still not even paying £600/year. There are some other small contributions that you could count, but it's not going to make much difference to the final figure. I'm far from rich but I'm more well-off than most people, so the majority of citizens are paying less than me.

What I'm saying is, for most citizens we actually pay relatively little and get huge value out of the NHS. The rich pay proportionally a lot more, which is how it should be.

Thanks for the link. I initially linked directly to the public .mp4 video file on floatplane, but I updated the post to the youtube link once it was published. I'll leave the youtube link in the OP as I think it's easier, although I don't like that they monetised the video. GN didn't monetise theirs.

edit: I didn't notice at first, but having all this shit in the description is also just a bit tactless? Like, read the room guys. I know it's probably just a default under all videos but didn't someone think to omit it for this one?
