I think I’m going to buy one of those sketchy streaming boxes with thousands of channels.

That or learn how to download and host my own content.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Edit: just realized what sub I’m in. Guess I better start reading up.

You’ll have a great career in writing Amazon descriptions.

Can someone post the article please

It’s absolutely insane what they charge. Another example is an MRI

I had an MRI done a few months back. I took probably max 30 minutes of the machine’s time. My bill was $5000. Fortunately insurance covered all but $200, but collectively it raises all of our insurance rates when a hospital charges $5000 for an hour test.

I did some math. A new MRI is 1 million to 3 million dollars. We’ll go on the upper end of 3 million.

Let’s say they do 8 MRIs a day.

They make $40,000 a day per MRI A 5 day work week they bring in $200,000/week $800,00/ month

That MRI is paid off in 4 months.

I get there’s other expenses. Rent is a few thousand a month. The techs probably made $20 a piece while I was there. There’s definitely macitence on the machines. But come on? $5,000 for an MRI?

Let’s go a little deeper and see why the actual machines are so expensive. Are they actually that expensive or is GE, Siemens, Phillips making a huge markup?

I don’t hate capitalism like a lot on here, but I believe our needs health, education, housing, electricity needs to be highly regulated and it should not be for profit.

Also sorta unrelated but not really, but I love bringing up that Corporations should not own single family housing.

Agreed. And start regulating and capping the prices of the needs like housing and healthcare

I’m down to this and the target one. Thank you!!

Thank you I’m learning so much today!

Lmaoo why do I have a hotel blanket

Thank you!!

Thank you. Found a similar on Target I’m looking at.

That industry is straight up garbage. My friend wanted to go to a concert so I figured I’d see what the prices are like before I committed to anything. So I check Ticketmaster, Vivid Seats and a couple other. They show you the base price, but won’t give you the actual total until you create an account. So once they get all of your info they finally show you that the price now doubles with all the fees and crap.

Also ticketmaster sells your information.

Good for california, this should be worldwide, these slimy corporations need some strict rules.

Shit, you’re right. I got them confused but to be fair he confused me.

Edit: BlackRock is investing in the real estate market according to their website, they’re not buying single family housing but they are investing in new construction housing that will be put up for rent. So yea sounds like some shell bullshit. They both suck.

I mean the good news is he’ll get the dumbass vote. The Qs, bleach drinkers, horse medicine consumers which for the most part vote for Rs.

I think it’s good for Biden.

He’s correct about Blackrock though, wanting to buy up housing and artificially inflate rents. It’s a goddamn shame Biden won’t step in and fix the housing crisis by stopping corporations from owning single family houses.

This dude covered up sexual abuse. Don’t understand why this snake has a job to begin with. Any congressman that votes to make him speaker needs to be voted out.

Hell, under my plan $700 will at least get you a walk in closet sized living box with a mini fridge.

Yep, there’s a market for it so of course the landlords will do it. Housing and rent prices in this country just sickens me but this is some next level shit

$700 for this is insane. I get why they’re doing it but there’s no reason anyone should pay $700 for a bed.

San Francisco should build their own get that shit up to code, make it about 30 stories, have spots for restaurants, stores, retail at the bottom and make it actually affordable and for everyone. There should be no market for 700 a month 4 foot tall boxes. Greedy fucks.

Shit should be like $50 a month max and yea it’s dystopian AF but if people want to do it I guess whatever. Just don’t rip them off.

Definitely a good start until we can get education costs under control.

I haven’t had a glass of milk in years. It kinda grosses me out, but I love some cheese. But I’m doing my small part in not buying gallons of milk.
