Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 26, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

How much can I make in a year of substandard (or sub-excellent) healthcare? How hard is it to think up a reason to get more care and therefore more cash?
