How are you expected to grow a beard without getting stubble? Either you get hired with one or you remain clean shaven?

Exactly. Beard-growing is not allowed, but you can keep one if it's already in good shape.

I used to work at a place where it was either clean shaven or full beard. You literally had to request a holiday to grow one

I wonder if anyone has tried to do an AirBNB in their timeshare to recoup the costs

I'm guessing they buy the debt at pennies on the dollar and then charge their customers more than they paid for said debt.

They were expected to do it while on vacation.

They’ve changed the policy and now allow stubble on the job, but only when transitioning between approved facial hair styles.

I got some fun spam from a concealed carry training place today

quote:

Every time a lunatic launches a massacre, this country gets closer and closer to taking away your Second Amendment rights—which you NEED to protect yourself and loved ones from this madness. It’s time to get Concealed Carry Certified before the liberal nut jobs steal your right to own a gun!

Did you see the gun control protests on Fox News? There’s an active shooter and Dems want us to run and hide when we could be neutralizing the threat and saving lives???

The interesting thing to me is that it's basically cold-reading but for gun violence. Like, statistically in America regardless of when you get this spam there's probably been a mass shooting and/or Fox News is probably showing scaremongering footage of gun control protests. It's kinda impressively crafted and also very depressing.

I don't get why everyone talks poo poo about capitalism in here. If everyone goes out right now and gets the virus and pays 1.8 million each we can keep the economy going for a few more days. Capitalism isn't dead yet!

The guy in the article feels guilty for having cost the health care system a million dollars to save his life. The context is that he actually thinks that was the cost of his treatment and not some number pulled out of some insurance drones lovely algorithm

He should be mad as hell and threatening to burn down that hospital. I know I'd be doing that if someone gave me such a bill.

Weird that the amount the insurance company paid behind the scenes probably wasn't even 1/10th that, yet the hospital somehow didn't go bankrupt either. Oh well I guess that's just the invisible hand of the free market somehow.

Probably someone who never tried to pay without insurance.

"It'll cost you $400 for the 15 min visit"

"I don't have insurance can I pay cash?

"Okay it'll be $50 we'll set up a payment plan"

That million dollars includes a 15000% markup on the cost of any drugs used.

wait does this person actually believe the "service provided: 2 stitches; the provider billed: $100,000; we negotiated: $50,000; we paid: $40,000; your responsibility: $10,000" bills that insurance companies gaslight you with? do they not realize (a) they're complete bullshit and have no obligation to be honest under any reasonable person's (i.e., non insurance lawyer) definition, (b) most of the money they pay they're paying to another arm of the same company, it's just how they launder it out of the premium payments part, and most importantly (c) IT'S YOUR loving MONEY. YOU PAID PREMIUMS. YOUR EMPLOYER PAID PREMIUMS INSTEAD OF PAYING YOU

reformism and informed-consumer-legislation is lib bullshit but they still should require those bills to include a cumulative total of your paid premiums

He also believes public transit is garbage and inefficient because our small rural part of Ohio has a bus line that comes by like once an hour. And refuses to believe that major cities that actually fund public transit do not have that problem

He even had the guy who used to live in Columbus saying "no Mike, the bus line is great and you never wait more than 10 minutes what are you talking about"

This conversation came up because I got on a rant that car insurance is a scam and these companies just charge you whatever they feel like with no justification and will raise you're rates the moment they have to pay out. He doesn't think that's accurate in any way

I remember being aghast when they sent me a bill for a week-end in the heart ward, treatment, drugs, and lab work, plus six months of medication, because I thought healthcare was supposed to be free.

It was 32€.

one time i had an allergic reaction in my mouth that had to be biopsied to make sure it wasn't cancer and between the walgreens doctor and the dental referral it was $255 to learn i did not have cancer and that was abt 20 hours' labor for me at the time so I let my gas get shut off and ate microwave food for a couple months

did u know u can make spaghetti bolognese entirely in the microwave and that it ends up chewy and tasting like a meat lacroix? it's pioneer discoveries like these that a coddled healthcare system prevents you from experiencing, truly we should weep for ppl with socialized healthcare
