Worse is when they are not even asked to pay!

That's just SAD... and super cruel.

The sad truth...

SO TRUE!! We no longer have free lunches at our school, and it’s not cheap! (Although the lunches at our school are good)

wtf is this actually happening over in America...

I think this depends on the celeb.

Dial that back JUST a bit. What we LEARNED?? No, we experienced it, and we are whitewashing the whole affair so we don't need to learn anything. Just because you can demonstrate and prove something, has no connection to us necessarily learning it.

🤔...🤨

bUt MeH rIgHts! Gods I hate people sometimes.

This is just a simple fact.

A rent payment is not a credit transaction. Try to understand the difference. The real kicker is that you might think paying off a debt would improve a persons credit worthiness ie. I borrowed money and then paid it back before I said I would. Nope, closing a credit line by paying it off lowers your credit rating. Now that is bass ackwards.

Let's all thank the Supreme Court and Citizens United. I'll believe "corporations are people, too" [Mitt Romney] when a corporation gets sentenced to death in Texas.

Someone posted a photo of their itemised maternity bill from a US hospital on another forum a while back-it included a $50 charge for "skin to skin care." Skin to skin is literally putting the naked baby onto the mother or father's bare chest. It's meant to help with temperature regulation, and is alleged to help soothe the baby immediately after birth, but its not a medical procedure. Mum picks up the baby, puts it on her chest, and the hospital charges $50 for a midwife to watch? It's utterly ludicrous. The American healthcare system is beyond a joke.

So let's do it.

But they give "thoughts and prayers" every time something happens! Isn't that enough!?!

I get my diabetes medication free. After reading all this stuff, I'm so glad I was born in the UK. It's certainly not perfect, but 1000x better than living in the 'Land of the free'.

They'll get right on that.

Because clapping and banging pots and pans is the new rental currency, obviously/s

I live in the Middle East and I could argue with you guys :)

Unfortunately, it's very American nowadays. At least our government thinks so... and the people who try to stop it are shut down or too scared to be able to make a difference.

My taxi driver today was asking about healthcare in the US and I told him about people not having money for insulin just dying. He is a dialysis patient and wondered if the cost was covered. i honestly don't know but I am not super hopeful. But imagine the poor kid and thinking you could have killed your parent via a simple mistake cause health insurance sucks

I am European and the USA sounds like a nightmare country to me? I've never been there so I imagine my view may be distorted, so could you give me some perspective on the matter, please? It honestly sounds like a country I'd love to visit someday, but living there?! THANKS F*CKING NOPE!!

God, this is so sad and ridiculous and obscene.

Why is the important part (the history of insulin and why it should be available) in such tiny font compared to the, admittedly still important but far more resigned, bit at the top. To reiterate the important bit, Yes, you should be angry

According to NBC News, the Inflation Reduction Act went into effect on Jan. 1, capping the monthly out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $35 for seniors on Medicare. In August, Republicans blocked a provision in the bill that would have capped the out-of-pocket cost of the drug for everyone on private insurance.

Insulin is dirt cheap to produce, too. Just adds insult to injury.

Typical america. Let the weak and poor die. If they manage to hang on and survive, make sure they pay stupidly high amounta for whats free or at least affordable in most other countries. Oh, and make unhealthy food in huge portions really cheap as well, that'll make sure we can charge those dumb enough to buy the cr@p even more in medical bills when they end up ill and overweight because of their diet. America sucks.

I hate this.

I only know the price for veterinary Insulin in Austria because human needs are covered by general insurance, but that is 7€ per 10 ml - and here vetaribary products are usually more expensive than human ones ...

:'( The wrong people are in charge because we believe that an object has incredible value.e

Yep.

I genuinely believe homework should be banned or extremely limited

No, if we lost the cold war the cockroaches would be in charge. Maybe it's time to give them a shot...

I may be wrong here, but women choose to be nuns. If you don't want to wear a nun's habit, don't become a nun. It's the woman's decision, based not only on her faith but on her life choice (as in "work uniform"). Simple. There are countries where a woman merely going outside without hijab is punished and occasionally killed. I don't see the two as being comparable. Unless the bigotry is against women, rather than religion. Plenty of places where that's the case.

It's still a terrible story regardless of race: girl sees boy, girl falls in love with boy based on appearance, girl gives up EVERYTHING to be with boy... Catchy songs but I absolutely hate the premise.

"Trickle -down" is, has always been, and will always be, a republican fantasy.

Have you thought of training to become a parking space? If you really had ambition, you'd be in parking space college.

Wow, that's some kind of Big Brother action going on there. How the he|| did it come to corporate Pepsi's attention the kind of seed potatoes the planted!?!

Nobody lobbies for the middle-class, are anyother regular person.

They post it, adding new dates, every time.

The 13th amendment allows prisoners to be treated as slaves as punishment. See the exclusion clause right in the middle of the text?Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

I have no words 🤦🏼‍♀️

Exactly. Which is why they need to be taxed back at 70% or higher.

Gross. Should publish his name like they did with the Stanford swimmer who also got a slap on the wrist. Public opinion did punish him as he deserved.

Wreck in electric car? Firefighters have been electrocuted trying to disconnect because wiring not standardized... so they don't try to disconnect. That means fire: @5000°F and 40,000 gallons of water. Normal car fires? 1500° and 1,000 gallons of water. Lithium batteries can burn for days... under water. Fire departments often not supplied with special equipment to extinguish such hazards.

All the money in the world, can never bring those children back...

Definitely fits. Teachers do it because there's also that quiet kid who has a spark that needs to be nurtured. Huzzah for teachers!!

And why I don't own real estate because I eat avocado

Its because there is a law requiring all dairy herds to remain in barns. I think it is supposed to be disease prevention measures but it seems cruel
