Do Medical Bills Really Bankrupt America's Families?
Medical bills can cause bankruptcies. Medical costs impact both household finances and the economy as a whole.

Medical bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy in the USA.

I don't enjoy evil routes because of two things. One, I don't like actively causing suffering, and two: evil routes usually involve murdering lots of people who could give you access to content, thus making that content null and void. And evil routes usually don't have a LOT of substitute content to make up for the fact you've killed a lot of factions and quest givers.

So it just winds up being something I don't enjoy doing narratively, AND it's usually something that's a mechanically subpar way to play.

Good to see the capitalism and business experts are out in force, in response to a fucking BusinessInsider article, no less:

The problem is capitalism. Wall Street is based on infinite growth and never ending increase in profit margins. Without it, the bubble pops.

That's capitalism. It demands infinite growth and any good idea will eventually be stripped down and turn to shit.

They're doing it wrong and operating too costly. If only they were to embrace p2p file distribution and stopped worrying about piracy and file ownership so damn much. But nah, that's the antithesis of that industry and so it will always offer a drastically worse service than some dump of a torrent site.

They can be thankful the average person doesn't care much about video fidelity.

So, streaming services should just put everything up on torrents? Somehow having everything available on p2p services will magically make people still subscribe to the streaming services?

The fundamental misunderstanding of Capitalism on Era is that it's based on infinite growth. It isn't. It's based on granular ownership and turning a profit.

One way to turn a profit is growing the business, but there's a thing called value stocks that aren't growing, make a profit, and pay dividends.

So the premise is also off.

What I find hilarious and I had to post in that thread is the lack of self awareness of "capitalism is bad because it depends on too much consumption " and the idea "if I cannot have all media catalogues at my finger tips for all studios for all history it might as well as be cable".

A lot of eras strongest voices supporting full socialism really enjoy the American culture of excess.

All of these businesses ran at massive losses to quickly gain market share and push legacy business models out of the market. Capitalism demands that eventually a profit on shareholder investment be made. 

The fact these morons became cheerleaders engaged customers of these scams businesses and expected them to remain cheap is hilarious...especially considering they are all anti-capitalist crusaders.

Anyone with any brains knew the price rises were coming and didn't completely lock themselves into anything...for example, selling their physical media, letting uber become their only mode of transport, not having any form of local storage.

-Uber is way less racist than the taxi service provided in NY and DC so I don't care if it's the same price, the service is a million times better.
-Streaming isn't close to as expensive as cable for me
-All my cloud services are free or at no extra cost to something I already pay for

Can't say I can relate to the sentiment here at all.

I was today years old when I learned that taxi services, which are overwhelmingly run and staffed by migrants, are racist and the bullshit business model run by white tech bros in California saved us from that racism.

Remember my 11k bill after getting a rabies vaccine?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-just-was-charged-11k-after-spending-2-hours-in-the-er.729675/

I just got another bill from Medical Financial Solutions for $1061.

My first thought was that my $11k bill was reduced to $1061 and I was relieved until I found that the account number is different and read the fine print.

Not only I'm getting charged up my ass but they add insult to injury by charging another fucking separate bill.

What happens if you don't pay it? Cause my doctor's been asking me for $30 for the past year now and I still haven't given it to them.

I would say I don't know what it is, but I actually do. High school sucked and every single video game seems to gloss over that fact. I don't care about Social Links, I don't care if Brad is dating Jennifer but cheating on her with Tom and I don't care about gym class or cafeteria food or whatever goofy nonsense joke trope that's pulled out next. And I especially don't care for the math test coming up and if I don't click the right answer I'm locked out of some stupid ending. I still have dreams that I didn't study for biology and I'm gonna fail.

My high school life also sucked but I don’t exactly see why you are traumatized by this shit.

Maybe just don't play games set in high school like a normal person?

Guess this is the nature of aging. I got two of them removed in my 20s (not at the same time), and recovery was smooth as shit. Was basically pain free like a few days later and eating solids well before instructed. Had to get this bottom one removed suddenly at 33 and it's been a struggle lol. It gets better every day though; I'm going longer and longer stints without having to reach for Motrin. But if I wait too long, issa nightmare.

Why are they individually removing wisdom teeth over multiple years instead of doing all those suckers at once? Is this a "Black thing" like washing chicken?

The fundamental misunderstanding of Capitalism on Era is that it's based on infinite growth. It isn't. It's based on granular ownership and turning a profit.

They're once again blaming capitalism for the nature of humanity. They don't even listen to themselves, they're literally saying that a better system is stagnancy and decline. They think humanity has peaked so it should never aspire to more than what we have right now. Our "progressives" want to condemn billions around the world to poverty because of the existential angst a bunch of wealthy lazy First Worlders get from other people doing things they don't like.

I've spent the last few years deeply afraid of the idea that the chuds are just going to start killing people in broad daylight, but when I look back on it, it's pretty clear that a one-sided civil war has been underway the entire time.

This is the kind of thing I worry about sparking into a civil war. It wouldn't be traditional civil war. Just general radicalized stupidity. No definable "sides" just never knowing who might decide to bring out their hidden desire to kill you because they dislike any random aspect of your person as we've divided on so many different issues. Just chaos.

The true allies are the ones who stand with you when the brutality starts. Who take the gun shots with you.

I hope it doesn't come to it (It feels like it already has)

This "Civil War of Stupidity" has already long begun. One side just closes it's ears and eyes and hopes everything will go away on its own magically.

Six million Californians voted for Trump. They're fucking everywhere. It might be marginally more difficult to get away with hate crimes without punishment here, but that doesn't do the victim of said hate crime any good while it's happening. Nowhere is safe from these bigoted shitheads. You can't ever forget that.

This is probably inevitable, and has likely already passed the point historians will point to as the beginning of such a period. It's hard to know these things when you're in the middle of them. The US will go through a time equivalent to The Troubles in Ireland until the fascists have been beaten into their holes again for another generation or two.

You can directly link his violent hatred towards the pride flag to a recent Matt Walsh podcast episode.

Apple and every podcast platform have blood on there hands when they host these Daily Wire or any far right podcast. Literally stochastic terrorism.

I know we all feel the same and we all said it before and it just feels like screaming into a soundless void but these people really should be held accountable.

Ah, isn't it nice, for the customer, to not have everything at one place but to be forced to subscribe to numerous things before you get what you want? Like in movies and series.

It's not enough here in Germany that I'm subscribed to Prime Video, Netflix, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus and Joyn. No when I want to see the new Walking Dead Series I also have to be subscribed to Telekoms Magenta TV. Just incredible. fOr ThE cUsToMer.

I will never understand this and people being for this, never, ever, until I die, ever. It's always an absolute nightmare for me as a customer and I hate this shit so much.
Not that I care a thing about streaming but how exactly is this beneficial for the person who is on Xbox and has a Game Pass Ultimate subscription and is then forced to subscribe to Ubisoft + even tho Microsoft f'n owns Blizzard and their games?
