Prescription I am pretty sure I can get what you got in the UK and pay nothing

With my ins

Then why have medicare for all if just regulating drug companies will make it affordable

My ins costs me 5k per year in premiums, with it I pay next to nothing

Why would anyone use medicare as anything other than a worse case scenario cushion if it costs more, covers less, and puts me on a waitlist?

Also joker if you ever come back with that citation for all the non name brand alternatives killing people, it better not be some homeopathy crystal bs.

5k is not alot

Considering I make 60k

I lose more in taxes than I do in ins premiums

Im only 22 my dude

Im not an old fart yet xD

I have blue cross blue shield I am largely good my man

Part of why it is higher is because I am obese

Costs me an extra 550$ a year to be overweight

But im okay with that because it costs ME 550$ to be overweight not everyone else.

Mexico is pretty next door

Panama isnt much further

So is canada

I feel like you dont travel much weez

Travelling is literally my job

In the UK perhaps

Avg income in the us per household is 59k

That is how much I make

Fuck outtahere

"You dont realize how little average households have"

I live in california

Most expensive state in the union aside from like new york and hawaii

Incomes have fallen =/= avg income isnt 59k

My number comes from the census bureau so I am gonna stick with mine weez

Census Bureau > Wallet Hacks

Now I used to make 48k per year when I worked security

My life isnt much difference honestly

I just get raped more in taxes

I drive big rigs now

I live in my truck my wife and son live in a military town

Big cities are financial suicide

Los angeles is basically a 3rd world country, so many homeless people literally blanket the streets, trash, needles, and shit everywhere

Its the same all up the west coast

There are just communists in the streets beating people

Exceptintheindustrialsectorwherepeopleactuallyhavejobs

But we dont talk about that

Tbh the worst is Seattle and San Francisco

The worst income inequality is in left wing run cities

Change my mind

So is free college

Joker didnt argue for that but weez did

That I saw

I know of a bunch of employers that will pay you to go to college

But nobody wants those jobs

Because they are hard

And they wont pay for your english literature degree

They want something useful

Stem usually

Citation pls

Most people I know who are treated like shit are people like me

I am a trucker

Constantly made fun of for being uneducated and stupid

Little does the liberal arts barrista know

I make more than they do xD

I am a company driver

I dont have the experience or knowledge to be independent

Plus I have great benefits and the company paid for all my training

I will be out of the business by then

Pros they can run between cities
Cons they cant be trusted to drive inside of a city

Too many moving components

It will also probably only be dry van for now

Maxxi, flatbed, and reefer all require human intervention pretty consistently

Considering the self driving semis cant even pass dot standards I am not terribly worried yet

But it would be stupid to dent the threat they pose

Hence why I am going to school for computer science

People who are poor are usually terrible with money

No one who makes more than 40k that I know buys scratch cards

I get one drink a month

It is a glass of black heart on the rocks

Scratch cards are lotto shite

Lottery

You pay for tickets in the hopes you win lots of stuff

You are more likely to be struck by lightning twice in most cases

^

Its a huge thing in the lower classes

Gamble away all your money and thus stay under the states thumb

Everyone should read the richest man in babylon before they get a job

I wish I had years ago when I first started working

My finances would be in a better place

Oof

I treat sex the same way I do guns

Education is key

Making anything taboo just encourages people to do dumb things

Wot

This is why people are poor

They have kids to early

And cant seem to buy more money

Life decisions often matter most in how successful a person becomes

Sometimes peopme have a shitty hand of cards, but thats usually the fault of their parents

Or investment tbh

Me: "I make good money"

Socialist: "not compared to the value you preduce for your overlords"

Me: well I didnt buy the 150k truck, I dont pay the 10k a year in insurance and I dont pay the 70k annually in fuel costs, I dont pay takes on all of that, I dont have to face the liability, and I do not provide myself insurance

People dont understand how much risk, cost, and time goes into running a corporation, all most see are the dollar sighs in the amount the compant grosses per year
