When you struggle to pay the IRS in a few days, remember this…

[Whiplash347 @Whiplash437]

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

“This 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 bill”

“But 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, ‘Hey, you have a $5,000 deductible. You need to pay $5,000 for this last emergency room visit.’

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.”

US Health Insurance is a scam

WOW 🚨 Delta Dental is considered a nonprofit but the CEO skyrocketed her pay from $4.5 million per year all the way to $48 million over 4 years

That’s $1 million dollars per month pay for one employee as a nonprofit

“Delta Dental is considered a non-profit, and as such you can be their taxes online. So I got curious in their 2014 filing, the IRS requests for the organization's top accomplishments.

Delta Dental reported that over 95% of claims electronic, online and paper were processed without any manual intervention. That means when your care is denied, there is less than 1 in 10 chance a human reviewed it

— That same year, Delta dished out up to a 30% pay cut on the care that doctors deliver, and for a decade, they did not raise what they pay for your dental care by a single penny.

Meanwhile, their CEO's salary skyrocketed. She went from 4.5 to $15 million a year. From 2014 to 2018, she made off with almost $48 million before leaving her position. That's a million dollars a month. Must be nice. And she's not even a clinician. She's a CPA.

You don't have to be an accountant to do the math. Dr. Pay cuts stagnant reimbursements. They were never about saving patients money on premiums.”

🚨 CONVICTED: In Oregon, the rain that falls on YOUR land... isn't yours.

Gary Harrington built 3 reservoirs on his own 170-acre property to collect rainwater & snowmelt for fire protection.

The state said: "Drain it. All water belongs to us."

He refused.

They hit him with 9 misdemeanors, 30 days in jail, and a $1,500 fine.

This is government ownership of the sky.

What’s next... your air?
Your backyard dirt?

Actually... Yes 👇

[Matt Strickland @MattForVA]

As a restaurant owner I am forced to charge an additional sales tax and meals tax for every purchase.

If I make a good product that people are willing to pay for, the government profits off of my labor.

The more I make, the more they make.

In fact, the government makes more off of my business than I do. How does that make sense?

They also don’t pay me a dime to collect their tax.

What’s even more wild is if I don’t pay them the tax I collect for them by a certain day each month, they charge me interest & penalties.

Tell me how this is any different from the mafia.

Small businesses should ban together and refuse to collect their taxes.

If Social Security thinks retirement age is 62, why are we electing 70-80 year olds to Congress and as President?

[Shadow Intel @TheShadowIntelX]

Charlie Kirk wanted blockchain technology applied to the federal government. Full transparency. Every dime of spending tracked in real time on a public ledger.

His framing was simple: "It is not the government's money. We are the sovereign. We earn the money and the government extracts it from us with our consent."

If that's the relationship, then taxpayers have a right to see where every dollar goes. Day by day. Department by department.

The technology already exists. Bitcoin proved a public, tamper-proof ledger works at global scale. Nobody can edit it after the fact. Nobody can hide a transaction.

Apply that same infrastructure to federal spending and waste doesn't survive long. Nobody overspends when the ledger has an audience.

The question was never whether we could do it. It's whether the people spending the money want you to see it.

75K salary with 500k as a windfall with no student loans is an absolutely wonderful place to be at 23 years old lol.

This is what out of touch looks like

Man makes a visual demonstration of how American bread is actually made

Many Americans know our bread is toxic by now but they don’t really understand what the process of making it actually looks like and how bad it really is

This is eye opening

Been at ESPN a long time - this one was an all timer. Before social media, it was as viral as a story can be. I watched it on a tape in the news room. I couldn’t stop watching his teammates.

We had just gotten back from a ten-day trip abroad, and I was at brunch with a few girlfriends catching up. One of them had her phone out, scrolling through my Instagram stories.
She looked a little disappointed. "The trip looked cute, but did he not book that viral floating breakfast? Or the private boat tour? My algorithm is full of guys surprising their girls with these heavily curated, luxury experiences. I feel like if a man takes you out of the country, he should be acting like a full-time concierge. It's about the aesthetics of being spoiled."
I took a sip of my mimosa and just looked at her.
What she didn’t see on my Instagram story was what happened when we landed. She didn't see him silently taking my 50-pound suitcase the second we got off the carousel and carrying it up three flights of broken subway stairs because the elevator was out. She didn't see him physically placing himself between me and an incredibly aggressive street vendor who wouldn't take no for an answer. She didn't see him stay up an extra hour in the hotel bed, meticulously mapping out the absolute safest walking route for us the next day so we wouldn't end up in a sketchy neighborhood.
The internet has completely rotted our understanding of what it means to be "taken care of." We have been brainwashed by TikTok to believe that a man’s highest purpose on a vacation is to be a luxury event coordinator for our social media feeds.
We are out here complaining that a man didn't buy us a $200 aesthetic fruit platter in a pool, completely ignoring the fact that we spent the entire week walking through a foreign country with absolute, unbothered peace of mind because he was acting as our personal logistics manager, navigator, and human shield.
I realized right then: The timeline wants a man to curate an aesthetic. I want the man who absorbs the chaos of the real world so I can actually relax.
