Hahaha... and a full blown investigation was launched

so nailed this...just great

If they paid less people to spy on the drivers' "missteps", they could pay the drivers more. Or, I don't know, even grant them toilet breaks.

At least the person behind the brand social media account acknowledged their shortcomings - I appreciate that.

The Falcon is smug and I love it

UPS drivers are specially trained.

Assuming that's the hospital itself replying, what more do you need to learn, you charged the guy $39k

"Presbyterian" Hospital? I always forget that bit in the bible where Jesus heals the sick, then sends them a bill...

Just hope he didn't get another stroke when he got the bill

My ex had a massive stroke and we got a bill for $80,000 from the hospital. I thought it was so absurd to send a bill like that. I literally laughed. Like, who has money to pay that? Then went and applied for assistance for him the next day. Smh It’s crazy.

Ask for a specified invoice.

I'd get a second stroke after seeing that bill. I wish you all had it as good as me who live in Sweden ❤

I'm a nurse, and "V" is more than likely correct. Having a stroke at that age is extremely rare an individuals who do not drink, do drugs, and are highly compliant with medical treatments for their illnesses. Paying the staff to take care of you in the hospital is expensive. Medical tests are expensive. Keeping the lights on in a hospital is expensive. Yes physicians make a healthy salary, but they also pay through the nose in malpractice insurance, and student loan repayment... Not to mention, they're paid on their knowledge and expertise (one would hope). Everyone complaining about how much physicians make is welcome to go to medical school themselves. As far as the cost of American healthcare, yes it is extremely expensive. The insured are paying for the uninsured who do not pay their medical bills (I'm not saying that uninsured never pay their bills). If this gentleman had a stroke and only received a $39,000 bill, he either only had an ER visit and was not admitted (extremely unlikely), or he is already had a massive charitable write off for a bill that was likely in the $500,000 range...and he still is bitching. I've seen what UK ambulances (universal healthcare) carry in the way of life-saving equipment and personnel when called to the scene of a dying patient. You may as well have someone call a cab to take you dying body to the hospital. It'll get there faster and be more instrumental in saving your life. I for one, would rather know that a fully equipped US ambulance with lifesaving medications on board which will be administered by highly trained paramedics is going to come save my ass... Even if I have to pay a fat bill for the privilege.

I get my brain surgeries there, it's a great hospital but god is it expensive. How do other countries Drs become rich?

And I'm sure the stroke had not a thing to do with how he lived his life.

some funny ones today

Also... some parents don't have the space at home.

This is deflection from the fact that a small number of corporations are the major polluters by trying to make it seem like it's a personal responsibility issue

people seem to think it's all kids at McD's but you can see the workers getting older , capitalism only works for the 1% , trickle down economics is a lie , ALL workers should be paid a living wage with benefits , power to the PEOPLE

Trying to be relevant and fit in with the cool crowd. Sigh.

*snaps*

SNAP

This man has a good hustle. Unfortunately, we will start getting ads with our food now that corporations have seen this. They will pay door dash/ uber eats to have their drivers/riders give us pamphlets with our food

Remember a few years ago when Kroger sold off a bunch of their convenience stores that they couldn't maintain but said it was to "focus on their grocery stores" ??? How's that working out Kroger?

Better even than telling them to go to hell, just don't use their service. If they're unethical but you use them anyway your just encouraging the behavior.

$15 per hour is more than we get in Britain for minimum wage. But then we do have a Health Service which from what I have read on here is worth so damn much, a lot more than a couple of dollars

Burn! They should fire their marketing department or graphic designer who came up with this. Shamrockiraptor is spot on!

I would have preferred a little less capital letters, still: He/she nailed it!

SO many people are already parroting this line from right wing politicians, it’s so frustrating.

Vermont is in the top ten highest minimum wages in the country. It was an ignorant move to attack Sanders over this. 'Just Amazon being terrified of organized labor (aka unions).

yeah this could be bad , he worked on AI and had to shut it down after it created it's own language to communicate with other AI, not sure if they ever worked out what it said ,https://www.firstpost.com/tech/news-analysis/facebook-researchers-shut-down-ai-bots-that-started-speaking-in-a-language-unintelligible-to-humans-3876197.html#:~:text=Researchers%20from%20Facebook%20found%20that,were%20creating%20their%20own%20language.&text=This%20led%20Facebook%20researchers%20to,each%20other%20only%20in%20English.

That happens literally across the board. It’s the corporate version of an influencer/youtuber posting a video of them doing some sort of charity.

OG reply is savage

What's even more ironic is that Stadia is a product of Google. You know, the search engine that almost everyone uses...
