I also don't like the way it trivializes other types of problems. If you work online, and the service goes out, you CAN'T WORK. Not being able to work is a very basic threat to human livelihood. If you don't have insurance in America, you can easily die of treatable health problems. Problems are problems, some bigger, some smaller, but all important to the people who face them. Where you live doesn't necessarily determine what they are.

Playing "my pain is bigger than yours" consistently leads to FAIL.
