It was Wiseguys. Goodfellas is a Dallas restaurant.

2018-08-04 03:42:10 UTC  

Jesus those names are synonyms

2018-08-04 03:42:25 UTC  

Yeah. I know.

2018-08-04 03:42:31 UTC  

ha

2018-08-04 03:42:45 UTC  

Fuck me for following my instincts yeah?

2018-08-04 03:42:57 UTC  

I avoid groups of youths, not blacks.

2018-08-04 03:43:16 UTC  

If it were a group of black elderly men id stick to my path.

2018-08-04 03:43:22 UTC  

From that point forward, I was incredibly nervous about anyone passing me for a while.

2018-08-04 03:43:46 UTC  

I still generally carry a gun or a knife in my car with me, out of sight.

2018-08-04 03:44:17 UTC  

As a pizza deliveryman are you allowed to be armed on the job?

2018-08-04 03:44:28 UTC  

I treat it as don't ask, don't tell.

2018-08-04 03:44:52 UTC  

Technically, the arrangement I work under

2018-08-04 03:44:55 UTC  

I'm my own boss.

2018-08-04 03:45:49 UTC  

If they want to dictate whether the second amendment applies to me on the job or not, they can pay my worker's compensation.

2018-08-04 03:47:03 UTC  

But since I'm given no such guarantee, my life and property is in my own hands.

2018-08-04 03:47:19 UTC  

So based man

2018-08-04 03:47:32 UTC  

Id say that if I end up in the us

2018-08-04 03:47:57 UTC  

Pay me less, let me have a gun, and they dont need to pay me comp for injuries sustained.

2018-08-04 03:48:15 UTC  

If only the healthcare there wasnt memeably expensive

2018-08-04 03:48:39 UTC  

It's gotten to that point as a result of government meddling, mostly.

2018-08-04 03:49:14 UTC  

If the FDA weren't operating as a protectionist arm of the pharmaceutical companies, things would likely be different.

2018-08-04 03:50:04 UTC  

One of the main reason medicine is mass produced and STILL expensive is that certain companies have monopolies on treatments.

2018-08-04 03:51:02 UTC  

Some of the standards required for FDA approval are prohibitively expensive, as well.

2018-08-04 03:51:32 UTC  

Does not work. Its a buisness and they charge by how much someone will pay

2018-08-04 03:52:13 UTC  

There are multiple issues with the healthcare system...

2018-08-04 03:52:28 UTC  

That someone who pays is now a corporation, and not just an individual.

2018-08-04 03:52:31 UTC  

Where does the price go?

2018-08-04 03:52:37 UTC  

Taxpayers?

2018-08-04 03:52:43 UTC  

Price goes up.

2018-08-04 03:53:07 UTC  

Well its the govt, they never got good at spending responsibly

2018-08-04 03:53:30 UTC  

When you buy Health Insurance, you mitigate the risk of illness or injury by putting the financial burden on an insurance company.

2018-08-04 03:53:40 UTC  

As such, you are no longer the customer.

2018-08-04 03:53:46 UTC  

The insurance company is.

2018-08-04 03:53:57 UTC  

Combine that with a mandate that EVERYONE has insurance now

2018-08-04 03:54:59 UTC  

The solutions are few, and they're ethically gray.

2018-08-04 03:55:09 UTC  

Add to that that hospitals pass on the costs to the customer (they don't really give prices, just costs).

2018-08-04 03:55:29 UTC  

Well, yeah.

2018-08-04 03:57:14 UTC  

You have to consider that there's an inverse to supply and demand, as well.

2018-08-04 03:57:36 UTC  

You've got supply, the hospitals.

2018-08-04 03:57:55 UTC  

But the demand for hospital care is a matter of life or death.

2018-08-04 03:58:38 UTC  

It's just weird that hospitals don't set prices, it's more insurance that does via the way things are handled.
