Interesting, $40/hr is really not a ton cheaper than what a lot of U.S.

Complacency? Not hardly, I'm just not willing to jump on one sided

other side of the argument publicly because it just turns into

It sounds like a lawsuit trap to me.
The only way to keep it factual is if you moderate posts and control
what people say. Once you do that, then you are no longer protected
under safe harbor provisions.
