They need to be taxed. After that sneaker post. Yikes!

It’s crazy. The minimum salary in Spain stayed the same for about a decade. Even working 50h a week with that salary didn’t give you a decent life. Luckily the new left government is raising it. It is still too low for the rent and cost of living but it’s an improvement.

I personally don’t understand the big lavish funerals. Your dead so why do you care how your send of goes. I don’t care if I have a memorial, ceremony etc. I want to be disposed of as cheap as possible coz I don’t want my family to be in debt or pay thousands of dollars to legally dispose of me.

old fashioned film rolls are a bad example----

The original saying made perfect sense: “The customer is always right, in matters of taste.” If a customer wanted wear something ugly or eat something gross, you helped them out with a smile. It’s their money and their business, and you’re just there to facilitate that purchase. But once it got shortened and lost that meaning, it became a huge pain in the ass for employees and businesses, and a license to act like an entitled douche to customers.

This is so weird. In my country, all the necessary data is fileld in. In most cases I don't have to file anything at all, my employer does that for me, automatically.

I agree 100%, also I hate that you have to give permission to use your data to access most apps, websites etc. You should be able to use them without them selling your info to other parties.

Any religion actually.

We the option to lease textbooks for a very small price. The only condition was to return them without any visible damage.

Worst in these is that people usually get to do normal paid work without any guidance at all.

If two people are truly in love, it wouldn't matter if there is a ring at all.

I have downloaded so many apps from what is advertised in another game and then find out it is nothing like the ad at all. So now I don’t even bother. It’s essentially click bait.

Omg yes, it is super expensive. Our old printer was cheap but we didn’t research before hand to find out that the ink for black was $38 and colour was $45.

its a lose-lose sort of situation

Greed does that

100$? You are lucky! Mine cost over 500€!

They are not even a girls best friend!

and most still hate of the though of socialised health care , crazy AF

Ignorant statement that is all opinion and not fact. My son recently had a grand mal seizure and injured his head badly. I only paid my $100 copay for the ER/inpatient hospital stay and that included the CT and MRIs done. Insurance was amazing. Employers use benefits to be competitive and attract the most qualified employees. I see nothing wrong with this as it should incentivize people to go do something with themselves instead of relying on others to support them.

$200 a month from work insurance. Still have to pay $3000 before insurance kicks in. Unless you have major health issues or an emergency, you're not going to reach that $3000 for the insurance to start paying.

What makes me laugh is American health insurance IS socialised healthcare... just with extra steps, terrible service and higher costs

To me if my health insurance does not cover it, I don't think I should have to pay it

If medical insurance companies were abolished and Americans embraced socialized health care, they would have more money in their pockets. Taxes to cover the health care industry would be way less than what the average American family pays in insurance premiums every year. No one would have to declare bancrupcy to pay for treatment. No one would be afraid of how to pay for care for their sick child.

Health system sucks. Built on profit from sickness. No profit in cures!

I pay like $160 A month out of pocket for mine because the insurance I was getting through work only covered preventive stuff. I still owe the low cost clinic over $600. Btw, I didn't know the work insurance wasn't covering it till I started getting bills. I will happily pay more in taxes for universal health care.

If you get sick, it’s cheaper to get a travel visa and a plane ticket and go deal with your health issue in a developed country rather than the USA.

I think socialized medicine would be great here in the US. It’s the politicians and bitter heads that own insurance companies that don’t want it, because they will lose all their money! Whatever would they do if they couldn’t play God with your lives? Well, for one, not get rich off our sick people.

Fun fact: if the choice is between protecting your health and protecting their shareholders, insurance companies are REQUIRED BY LAW to put the shareholders' needs first.

Medicare for all!

Have you heard of Medicare, Medicaid and employer health benefits?

Be happy not to live in Switzerland... paying 1000 CHF for both of us (1061 USD)

I would argue that premium costs quite a bit and still doesn't cover s**t... If your work offer free/cheap and good insurance, you are the lucky ones.

if you go on medicaid and use it, they want their money back. Heirs will have to sell your house to pay them back. Huge scam

Same with car insurance. Can anyone tell me what either of these things actually pay for?

And the removal of the chargers “for the environment”. If it was for the environment then you would reduce the cost of the charge from the phones and also give the option to buy them for a small price. Now they charge the same without it and then charge you like 40 euros for the charger.

The electoral college is a huge scam as well - allows people who get FEWER votes to win. How does that make any sense?

When you buy kibble look at the ingredients. Like this post said the first ingredients are the ones that have a bigger %. You want the first ingredients to be meat and it to not contain a lot of wheat, beets, corn, flour or ash. Most fancy commercial brands are really poor in composition.

In Europe, we call this "corruption".

Sometimes you can use those Visa gift cards/credit cards that you can load money onto.

YES. And making products "seamless" so that you CAN'T open them up to repair them (I'm looking at you, Apple), at least not without a ton of effort and higher than average risk.of damaging the product doing it yourself. This refusing documentation and all is just yet another scheme for them to wring money out of consumers and away from small businesses

$80 is insane. I would never pay that. Thankfully the average cost I pay is $35 for a basic pack which includes a class photo and about 10 individual photos of various sizes.

What??

You should change this to "Hospitals in the US".

The exhorbitant sums spent on weddings, specially second marriages or where couples have lived together for years and often already have children, has become rediculous.

Or the entire concept of having to work, in order to justify being alive... many years ago I came across a quote by some economist (can't remember the name, sadly) who argued that most job positions are totally superfluous, but are maintained because of the whole "everyone has to have a job" thing.

I can’t believe people still use this website. Although Amazon is slowly going the same way with its marketplace and scammers flooding it with fake 5 star reviews.

I always wear men’s trousers because it is impossible to find non skinny jeans for women and least with real pockets. I don’t mind but they are always too long for me.

I noticed this with Pinterest. One day ads started popping up but looked like pins. Now, just looking at the browse feature, it shows me pins I already have pinned! Not just a few, quite a bit. Same with Facebook. I HATE how the feed only shows you a few peoples' posts.

Some stores rise the price 100% 1 week before "sale". Then they can have 50% off.

Just make your own damn coffee

Any sort of insurance is a scam, really.

The thing is no registry owns the stars so just because you name it, doesn’t mean it is actually named that or that you are the only person to name that specific star. You may call it Fred whilst someone has called that same star Wilma. You are literally paying for a piece of paper, nothing more.
