Ukraine war Bullshit.
- Thread starter JAS-SH
- Start date
US medial care needs to get the Insurace companies out of the way and stop middle manning.
INS companies don't pay the full charges on the bills the hospitals send them. Yet if I walk in the door cash in hand I will get bent over on pricing.
We have a very flawed and overly expensive medical system.
Had a family member recently pass away from cancer, about 6 months before he died was having serious issues what, we didn't know, spend 12 days in a hospital, rang up a $74,000 dollar bill. They did not find the stage 4 cancer that another hospital found about 2 months later. 74,000 dollars... for them to not do shit.
We have a massive problem.

I wonder what the impact on the European economy would be if India stopped refining Russian oil.
I just fired my big pharma whore of a doctor. While I was at it told the insurance company how bad she was fucking them.
The epitome of a drug pusher giving out samples till you need it and find out what it costs .
Refers you to more pharma whore doctors for obscure reasons.
All out of India's pharma whore factories .
Too bad anyone with a pov like that sits on any medical board. Is absolutely part of the problem enabling the big pharma whores.

i'd be more likely to believe nato got a hold of some or make them for training purposes.

Reconnaissance is a thing.
i doubt that they rely on decoy drones for that.
if they can track them on radar as claimed, they should have a lot more to report on than a single crashed decoy.
(Russia + the Global South) - (the Philippines + other smaller territories)...
Surely the Anglosphere realizes that it can be made irrelevant as far as trade is concerned?
A bit off topic, but if anyone over here likes hockey, here is the video about Pavel Datsyuk, the player with insane set of skills, whom I personally consider the best hockey player ever:
Datsyik is certainly Ukrainian last name, but he is actually from Russia. There are a lot of people with Russian origin last names in Ukraine, and opposite is also true. Which makes this current situation between Russia and Ukraine incredibly silly and 100% responsibility for this situation is on the third parties...

The very reason they have no real life. Debt is a tool to control people, while making them think they are winning.
The same reason some people who live like this have so much debt.
Some enjoying life quite fine.
Laughing, many would not agree.The same reason some people who live like this have so much debt.

I think what Gunfighter is alluding to is the fact that having none of your future work’s effort pleased to someone allows you more choices, primarily the ability to say no. Indentured servitude typically doesn’t allow that range of choices without serious consequences.The same reason some people who live like this have so much debt.

"many" ... "some" ... potaytoe, potahtoe
Do you actually have a counterpoint you're trying to make?
Debt is a tool for the prosperous and shackles for the unaccomplished.
Pledged? I'm going with pledged and blaming the spell checker.
Debt can be a tool or a noose.
I have multiple debts charging interest rates well below the interest I'm earning on money in the "bank".
Not all debt is bad, paying cash isn't always the best choice.
Being financially overextended is not a good position.
Debt is a control tool, always has been always will be. People w/o debt can speak their mind 24/7, and do as they please. Everyone else is a dick sucker at some level being controlled by others. Bottom line if you can't put your hands on all your so called wealth and move it where you want anytime you want w/o needing others, you are being controlled at some level. That is not freedom.
One dimensional thinking.
Only the homeless living under a bridge or on a park bench are "free".
lol...One dimensional thinking.

My Uncle worked for a defense contractor on and around Hurlburt field in the late 60's early 70's. Guidance systems for early Paveways. Fucking brillant guy, at some point int the late 70's caught a bad case of the fuck its and went to living in the wood and building beer can Pyramids. After he passed away I found old un cashed pay checks and beta max tapes of some of the work he did.
Some people see thought it all. And their give a fuck gets up and goes.
Not saying all homeless are like this, but some of them are. Not saying all people who work hard chasing material objects are pieces of shit, but some of them are. Life is all about perspective.
Wrong, there is a whole world of people who are not in debt because they never bought into the lies, of those who live on the life blood of those in debt. One of the reasons shit is so expensive, is because of all the hands in the chain,...One dimensional thinking.

Some can play the casino and “take a loan, invest and earn premium over rate” some actually do win and live comfortably most don’t. To each their own but generally as master yoda said attachment sucks and getting attached to material thingies will sooner or later translate into pain. Beautiful part of living is that everyone makes its own path and if comfortable with it good for you perhaps thats best one can do with time given. Problem is almost everyone lies to themselves and others on “exaclty how comfortable” they are.
People who can pick up all their earthly possessions and move without any help.
Mentally unstable society rejects. Probably have a bunch of uncashed paychecks.
That plus instant gratification & look at me shit, is the debt tool that enslaves most.
Wouldn't advise that but no point paying off a $200k 3% mortgage with $200k earning 15%. Many similar examples.
our production/consumption model is inflationary by it's structure. seems to me that up until about the 90s (?) things held. to keep manufacturing going,planned obsolescence had to be made an integral part of the system. having the "latest" thing with the attached advertising pushed the consumption cycle. advert industry had the human psych well locked in. that ad work paid well for a reason. it was a necessary part of the system.
just some observations- ever drive down the auto dealer street in your town? hundreds of new vehicles. do they all sell? what happens to those that don't? what about used? appliances the same thing. 1st washer/dryer i owned lasted 25 years. new ones meant to crash in 7 with no repair parts made available. take a look at our shooting world. always the newest,latest thing showing up that you just have to have. scopes,guns,ammo that promise performance unavailable in the past. really? the things used by the top 1% will take you into that group. really?
think about the financialisation of the economy-the stock market,bonds,odd financial instruments. where do those fit the picture? all of that has to be inflationary. our capitalist system is in deep shit. debt at all levels being out of control,over consumption,huge waste levels,resource limitation are a few of the problems.
unfortunately capitalism is the ONLY system that supports individual freedom and liberty. alternatives have easily sold to the deliberately non thinking majority at many times in the past. any human system ultimately makes concentration of power in few hands inevitable.
retaining or taking back one's liberty and true freedom is looking pretty iffy these days. doing well in one's own context getting harder.

It's a nice - sounding word crafted in our own language pandering to our innate sense of exceptionalism and superiority.
If you're talking about .gov financing deadbeats, illegals and failed companies by handing out fiat money then you might be onto something.
Borrowing has been around for thousands of years. Even the bible has rules and advice about lending and charging interest.
so does the Koran. my understanding is that charging interest is forbidden. i think that had some effect on Jewish participation in Muslim societies,esp Ottoman empire. not sure how modern Muslims get around that prohibition but they do somehow i am sure.
If ya wanna bring up the Bible, I personally don’t believe Jesus would approve of the level of financing and interest payments that go on in this country.
This is exactly what Jesus advised against.
Jesus:
"Thou shalt not besmirch my temple with the filthy avarice of ye robbers, but this is waaaaaay beyond usury, and I can't wrap my head around all this so you can stay until I figure all of this out."
I not sure about "exactly", citation needed.
I only brought up the bible as an example of how long borrowing has been a cornerstone of finance. The practice of lending predates by bible by at least a few thousand years.
The jebus wants you to give your money away and expect nothing in return. There is nothing in the teaching about not lending money Lending money is fine. Are you saying this is the level of financing and interest rates you approve of and participate in? Lend money for nothing? Borrow money for nothing? Is this the way you live and think others should live?
The moneylenders in the temple story is specifically about disrespecting or desecrating the temple or distracting from the purpose of the temple with activities other than worship. IIRC it wasn't just the lenders it was also the people selling merch that blew the gasket of the jebus.
At any rate, I don't give two fucks what the bible says about anything. Focusing on real world financial problems seems more productive.
The forest says i’ll lend you two deer but in return you’ll shit under my 
double the amount by pound. So began the chase…
Nothing good comes from credit in the long run and when deviations are applied (abuse of almost anything brings pain and suffering) and yet modern society is debt/credit based so to have no credit now means collective abandonment of modern society - won’t happen until nukes fly.
