And US are, so what's your point? The theoretical possibility of having guns and being responsible sure will be a strong argument for gun ownership once US get their collective shit together. Until then, ban'em for a century or two.

Electing a random citizen of my country instead of the current leader would make lives of people all around the globe better in mere months, no magic required.

Without going into much details: yes, but it seems like you're speaking of a permanent disability, while I had temporary disability in mind when I was writing that. A permanent one would require changing careers and a chunk of a lifestyle so large that emigration is peanuts in comparison.

I'm a dude in my mid thirties that writes code, so for me, things are fine, but if I get hit by a bus tomorrow and lose the ability to use my hands, society will probably fail for me.

Just in case that happens, don't hesitate a second, don't feed your flawed system a single dime, but buy tickets to a decent country with your nose and get affordable healthcare in one of the hundred+ countries you can visit visa-free. Returning is optional.

Signed: a dude in his mid-thirties that writes code, has lost the ability to use his hands for months twice so far and genuinely worries about holders of one of the most travel-suited passports seemingly being brainwashed into thinking they're chained to freedomland or something.

The syntax is just the outer layer, the whole concept inside it is alien. It's like a smartphone for a person who's only seen books.
