sts for End-of-Life Care. In 2009, Medicare paid $55 million for doctor and hospital bills incurred during the last two months of patients' lives. Hospital inpatient charges exceed $6,200 per day, and costs to maintain someone in an ICU can reach up to $10,000 per da

so if I were to run a D&D game for the server hypothetically speaking, would people prefer it to be text-based or voice-based for the first one?

idc

My medical expenses since I was a kid have amounted to like $2,400 to $3,600, excluding doctor's visits and hospital stays, annually. I've never had to pay for any of it

make it text based so weeaboo can play

So wtf is happening in Chile? Why is everyone angry at the government and whose side are we on?

Something to do with transportation fares?

chile is backsliding into latino socialism

Socialism is actually pretty great as long as it's paired with racism

it was inevitable

Ok phone gonna die gotta leave

Goodbye frens

yeah, it's not that kind of socialism

goodbye

whats happening in chile

why is south america always fuckups

the mass transit system owned by the state hiked up their fares

In 2006, state Medicaid programs spent $1.639 billion on hospice, paying different rates depending on the level of care provided:
Routine home care – $102 per day.
Continuous home care – $595 per day.
Inpatient respite care – $110 per day.
General inpatient care – $453 per day.

Yeah but the South American right are also CIA.

cant they go a decade without a revolution or some corruption

and people burned the subways

set the rolling stock on fire

and police went HAM on them

Hmm

so now it's like viva la revolucion mode

Seems a bit extreme.

But I can understand their frustration.

Railways, and public transportation in general, are rather confusing. Some countries have them privatised and they work out fine, others turn out shit.

Like, privatised rail worked out in Japan but not over here.

uneral & Burial Costs
While they’re the last stop in terms of end-of-life expenses, funeral and burial costs may not be the least of your worries. The National Funeral Director’s Association estimates median funeral costs, such as viewing services and cremation, hover at $7,360. While cremation is generally less expensive than burial, the Consumer Price Index indicates that over the last thirty years, all funeral expenses have risen more than 200%.

die > still own money

<:oof:399031884312739841>

Being corrupt in the private sector in Japan would bring great shame to your famiry

you'd have to seppuku

The whole funeral industry is a load of horseshit

Just put me in a biodegradable coffin, or cremate me. I don't care.

idk

latino socialism = jewish socialism

comes aoc/bernie sanders socialism

La Raza!

ye

Latinx

viva la raza is literally 'live the race'

but it means 'life to the race'

I don't really regard cooperatives as socialism. They're voluntary and individual based, thus private. Socialism requires the forceful redistribution of property titles. If Socialists want to keep to their own, and LARP in their shitty communes, that's okay, just don't try to take other people's shit, or deny workers the right to enter contracts.

noooooooooooooooooooooo

the reality is that large scale social structures support small scale social structures which may not be possible without the material conditions created by the former

so nothing on the 'small scale' is really evidence for any system or other

i mean in favor

this goes for ancap arguments as well, not just socialism

when people say 'the market does x' etc. - it does it in particular context

True. Slab city isn't evidence that Anarchism could work on any large scale. Rojava isn't even Anarchist, and Revolutionary Catalonia was definitely not Anarchist.

however you don't necessarily have to be completely focused on the large scale

you could set your goals smaller

ppl are flawed , ppl being flawed means you must rule them with an iron fist to be good

Land owners being slaughtered, everyone being payed the same, unions controlling everything. The union bosses became shittier capitalists.

I wouldn't phrase it like that, SEEJ

I would say -

people will always have rulers

they can be benevolent or malevolent, interested or disinterested

The Republic of China recruited over 40 million troops into a volunteer army. That sounds like a government worth defending.

https://youtu.be/ka0-G752j-o Yeee Haw

Exactly what Confucius envisioned. A government that represented its people, to the point that many were willing to die for it, even when not conscripted.

Friends bought me Mediations by Marcus Aurelius

COMFY AF

good frens are hard to find

how many friends (not family members) do you have that you would trust so far as to ask for help if you had killed someone

zero

#SAD!

I have one

maybe two

its wierd as an adult you have less and less frens

None, but I suppose you can't really gauge it. It depends on who you killed and for what reason.

If you have a good reason to murder someone, then they might be sympathetic, but if you killed sombody totally innocent, like a kid, your family member is just as evil if they defend you.

ok we'll put it this way

you're in trouble with the mob, and anyone you ask for help will be exposed to that as well

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5r0i2ZAbCc

I have like 12 or 13

wow, that's a lot

but nice

👍🏻

well, many of my friends are killers so you know... 😉

If I had a nickle every time I had to help dispose of a body, I could buy bubblegum

But as she shook your hand, she stole your man
And it was done so swift, it had to be a plan
Couldn't trust her with cheese, let alone your keys
With friends like that you don't need enemies
You wonder how long it was all going on
And your still not sure if your man is gone
You say, well if she took him he was never mine
But deep inside you know that's just another lie
And now you're kinda cold to the people you meet
Cause of something that was done to you by some creep
But nevertheless, I'll say it again
That these are the people that we call friends
