Yeah and it should cover it given how imperative dental well-being is.

It also puts the employees in the position where they're at the mercy of disrespectful and cruel customers, and sadly, that might be the point.

Not up to speed on other religions' history, but the way the Catholic church sold tickets to heaven in medieval days, just wow

Wait till you learn about funerals

Exactly and our government wants to increase the retirement age to 70. I don't know anyone at the age of 70+ that is fit and healthy enough to work. Especially in the building industry. We get a few years fun until we start school and then we spend most of our lives as government drones.

Always ends with the masses supporting the leaders extravagant lifestyles while they dodge taxes and commit crimes.

Even if it worked, it would be only a trickle.

Diamonds are overrated.

Also free trials should not require payment details to automatically subscribe after the trial period expires

The companies pay lower and lower wages, people earn less, they cannot afford basic things, capitalism which is based on people buying stuff they do not even need, collapses.

Just mark it as spam

But, but, but the market will sort it out......

YES! Education should be free, as it's in everyone's right to study and learn

If age gave you wisdom, old people wouldn't almost exclusively read the Daily Mail.

this person's great grandfather is a saint : )

Insurance of any type is gambling that something will happen.

Some insurance is fine, I cannot pay for a new house if mine burned down, but I can pay the insurance fee.

Blackberry jam won't pay the rent.

It's the biggest money laundering scam in this country. 4 things should never be for profit... religion, education, healthcare, and incarceration. They're basically solely for profit in the u.s. Insurance costs a punitive amount, and won't cover anything. It's bull.

My friend who's a doctor moved to Canada because it was so depressing trying to treat/help people in the US. Insurance companies don't care about doctors to be able to do their jobs well, just about how much those patients will cost them.

That was my grandpa. While the medics were helping the soldiers during WWII he was at home treating patients, as well as delivering babies and livestock in three counties. And once treated a farmer who paid with his broken pocket watch. Grandpa Doc went nuts for clocks and watches so he thought he was paid handsomely.

It sounds idyllic, but times and expenses are much different in this century.

I try to work this way - at least with my side gigs. I’m a Notary Public and I refuse to charge for that. If you insist on payment, then I’ll take a few fresh eggs your hens laid, or a baggie of tomatoes from your garden, etc.

If doctors accepted payment in the form of jam we wouldn’t need insurance. Come on, doc! Don’t you want jam?!

Yes, but now its not just a doctor, its his nurses, staff etc. I see one doctor office he has 3 office workers, two PA, a few medics and several nurses. The care in terms of live saving are different. Lab tests, equipment. I'm not just paying for that doctor's time, I am paying for the office. I imagine now those people around the office trying to split that jar of jam.

The person your grandfather was is who I strive to be!

It's only getting worse. I was gonna buy a lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes yesterday but was gonna cost me approx $12. Which is insane.

Thanks to computers and automation we are more efficient than ever. And yet we work as many hours as our grandparents were. How is that aceptable?

I think you mean capitalism in general

They care about their profit only

"Covenience"

Worked at a vision center a long time ago. Those $250 frames you just bought? Cost the company less than $10.

In some places tap water is not drinkable.

I watched John Oliver (gem) talk about this. It's really crazy. Like I've said before everywhere you look it's f*ck people, give me more and more money.

It's often a substitute for direct discrimination. Since disadvantaged groups are less likely to have degrees, if you want to discriminate without breaking the law, a degree requirement makes it easier.

It should be automatic by default with the option to do the whole headache for those who want it.

We bought a lot second hand, and resold after they've grown out of stuff. At the moment were part of a "hand me down chain" 🤣 It saves money and a lot of waste

Advertising in general always seems to sneak its way into ad-free formats. Cable TV was like network TV except no ads....until they added ads. Youtube was finally like TV except no ads...until they added ads. Then you can always block the ads and just watch the video...until their paid promotional segments.

Also for instance here where I live in Florida the recycling center used to accept glass and then quit. I spoke with an attendant and they said the state quit taking it because there wasn't enough profit. That's not the point!

About a month after I bought plane tickets I got a message that they had to change my flights. My new return flight was a day later. I asked if they could change it back to the day prior as planned - these tickets were a good 9 months in advance so I know they had seats. They told me yea, they could change back - and the difference in ticket price is $750 please. I argued for a day and finally heard back sorry that was a mistake, it’s only $375 more. I said no - and they finally agreed to change my flight back to the original day free of (additional) charge.
