@RotoSurgeon Classic 'corporate' price drop.
> Raise price from $20 to $30.
> a month later apologize and say whoopsies
> Lower price to $22
> Take away Call of Duty from offer
In reality they raised the price AND made the offer worse
And now everyone is thanking them for it!
@iLnico4real Samsung Tizen makes all their TVs essentially unusable if you've ever used anything else.
@SamsungTV is by far the shittiest TV brand out there.
Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
If you hate billionaires, go all the way, pussy.
Ditch the iPhone, the laptop, the tablet.
Get off the internet.
No Amazon, no big box stores, no Starbucks.
Grow your own food. Thrift your clothes. Walk everywhere.
And obviously no working for, buying from, or interacting with any company that scales beyond a farmers market.
Enjoy your abundance.
American is a healthy 28 year old, he decided to skip paying for health insurance this year because the cheapest plan was $900 per month with a high deductible
He had to spend 2 nights in the ER without insurance, he breaks down the bill
βThis is my receipt from spending 2 days in the hospital:
- It totaled about $24,000
- My CT scan alone was $8,300
- Laboratory, 6,000
- IV therapy, $1,020, $4,000 in total
And while $24,000 seems like a lot of money, let me show you something. This is what I'm actually paying, $2,478
because when you don't have insurance, these hospitals give you a discount. They discounted $22,000 off of this billβ
βBut if I had insurance, I wouldn't have gotten that discount. So it would've been a $24,000 bill billed to my insurance, and then my insurance would've said, βHey, you have a $5,000 deductible. You need to pay $5,000 for this last emergency room visit.β
Then you tack on the $900 a month that I'd be paying for that insurance. I'd be paying $20K this year for healthcare.
So the craziest part about this is even if I have another hospital visit, by the end of this year, I'm still gonna be paying less than I would if I had insurance. At minimum, my cost for healthcare this year would've been $20,000 with insurance. Right now I'm at $2,400.β
US Health Insurance is a scam

@thrillhouse416@darrelltalksfi I know that. Wasn't trying to nail the math, was just making a point that saying a $90k/yr job doesnt make sense b.c. of daycare costs is wild
