Jesus those names are synonyms
Yeah. I know.
ha
Fuck me for following my instincts yeah?
I avoid groups of youths, not blacks.
If it were a group of black elderly men id stick to my path.
From that point forward, I was incredibly nervous about anyone passing me for a while.
I still generally carry a gun or a knife in my car with me, out of sight.
As a pizza deliveryman are you allowed to be armed on the job?
I treat it as don't ask, don't tell.
Technically, the arrangement I work under
I'm my own boss.
If they want to dictate whether the second amendment applies to me on the job or not, they can pay my worker's compensation.
But since I'm given no such guarantee, my life and property is in my own hands.
So based man
Id say that if I end up in the us
Pay me less, let me have a gun, and they dont need to pay me comp for injuries sustained.
If only the healthcare there wasnt memeably expensive
It's gotten to that point as a result of government meddling, mostly.
If the FDA weren't operating as a protectionist arm of the pharmaceutical companies, things would likely be different.
One of the main reason medicine is mass produced and STILL expensive is that certain companies have monopolies on treatments.
Some of the standards required for FDA approval are prohibitively expensive, as well.
Does not work. Its a buisness and they charge by how much someone will pay
There are multiple issues with the healthcare system...
That someone who pays is now a corporation, and not just an individual.
Where does the price go?
Taxpayers?
Price goes up.
Well its the govt, they never got good at spending responsibly
When you buy Health Insurance, you mitigate the risk of illness or injury by putting the financial burden on an insurance company.
As such, you are no longer the customer.
The insurance company is.
Combine that with a mandate that EVERYONE has insurance now
The solutions are few, and they're ethically gray.
Add to that that hospitals pass on the costs to the customer (they don't really give prices, just costs).
Well, yeah.
You have to consider that there's an inverse to supply and demand, as well.
You've got supply, the hospitals.
But the demand for hospital care is a matter of life or death.
It's just weird that hospitals don't set prices, it's more insurance that does via the way things are handled.
And yet, we've given the health care system entirely over to insurance agencies.
