  • Thats the catch 22 of America, its “good” except when its not, and like 60% of Americans are one missed paycheck away from it being “not” - And once you’re there this country hates you and does everything it can to make sure you stay fucked.

    See: SCOTUS ruling the other day that you can’t illegalize homelessness but you CAN illegalize homeless behaviors like sleeping outside or in a tent.

    (Because since pot is increasingly legal we have to bolster those legal slavery numbers somehow!)











  • To take your money then say no when you need healthcare.

    Basically, everything is priced arbitrarily high to a comical degree because of insurance so you “need” insurance companies to “negotiate” prices (which are already set for them, there’s no actual negotiations - just the goofy “retail” price and the still exploitative “insurance” price) and then if its covered the insurance pays a fraction of THAT (closer to a “normal” price) and its considered settled.

    So, even if your insurance won’t cover it, you need them so you get the exploitative price instead of the comical price from the provider. There’s no way to pay the “normal” price unless you’re an insurance company.
