Why not here? Because for starters, humanism isn't a religion (and I say that as a humanist). It's a philosophical stance within atheism. And atheism is the absence of religion** (it's literally right there in the name), not a religion. You can't claim "religious" exemptions as an atheist. What this person actually wants is a philosophical exemption, akin to, say, a vegetarian wanting an exemption from having to cook meat at a restaurant or whatnot.

** - Well, except for those atheists who worship Athe.

Also reminds me of the release of Careless People last year (the one where Facebook got a gag order on the author so she can't talk about her own book)... it seemed you couldn't talk about the company's complicity in, for instance, the Malaysian genocide without someone trying to paint the author as morally compromised by association.

HSA accounts have deductibles at or near that amount. Granted, the purpose of a HSA os to allow you to fill the HSA with tax free money. They are great for younger, healthier, people because the account never expires (unlike a FSA). So when medical expenses are very low, the money you save in the account can grow for later in life when expenses may be higher.

The obvious catch is you need to be able to make enough to have money left over to fund the HSA during those early years; when your income is probably at it's lowest.

There's a more optimistic outcome: they rewrite preserving bug-for-bug compatiblity, but all the bugs get flagged. And then they can start remediating those, carefully considering the impacts on compatability. Along the way, perhaps they pick up other wins on performance, dead/duplicate code elimination, compilation speed, and/or test coverage. And perhaps they stir up new ideas or find they can reallocate talent or reduce personnel. It's a gamble to be sure, but it's what investors want to see right now.
