:hampants::hampants::hampants:
15K in "interest" meaning not returns on equities or debt implies a savings account level of interest (obviously a more sophisticated vehicle for this amount of money) but to drive 180K in yearly interest you'd need like 9M in assets.

Things the filmmakers encountered buying passage on a ferry up the Congo:

  • boat leaves a month late
  • janky boat that starts trip half sunk immediately stops to pick up and tow two rusty barges each with hundreds more passengers
  • random dead bodies floating in river
  • multiple women giving birth
  • one passenger sustains a crippling injury when his legged is crushed between the boat and one barge
  • camera crew forced to leave half way through trip due to outbreak of civil violence

lmao that the direct parallel between 14th century feudalism and 21st century capitalism is broken only by the fact that the 14th century apparently had more economic justice and the peasants can no longer bargain for better wages, regardless of their scarcity.

check out this benevolent job creator actually buying employees, you realise that you can just rent them right?

e: if you're in America this might not be the best way to do it actually but in most other countries the government will pay for their upkeep if you do it this way

wow we got em folks! I couldn't dream of a better smoking gun than nakedly revealing benefits are a tool of mass coercion

the clear implication being that universal health care will be forever impossible as long as these benefits can be leveraged to compel untold masses of people to work against their own interests

everyone's gotta be talking about this right? lol

Uh no I earned them by being a very good and special worker what are you talking about :colbert:

That reminds me, I was reading Yahoo Answers for a laugh the other day and found this real weighty question that's basically "lead poisoned old people brain" in a nutshell

quote:

Does anyone ever know what the insurance is going to pay and what the hospital and doctors are going to charge?
It seems as if even when insured, a person ends up with 3 or 4 extra bills not covered by insurance and a total surprise to you. Even with this horrible insurance/hospital/doctor/collection agency scam, I still feel like that Government Run Healthcare will be worse.
