That’s not the problem with the healthcare in the US, because that eventually flips and you hit your deductible every year.

The problem is you lose healthcare if you need to quit your job and you pay more than any other country. And I attribute that simply to the middle man, aka the health insurance companies. They don’t seem to provide any benefit other than contributing at least 10% for pure profit reasons to the $3.4 trillion we spend every year on healthcare.

It’s for the opposite of what that person said. It’s for the people who also want their neighbors to maintain their property. Whether that’s through hiring contractors or doing it themselves.

I think this works for some job positions, and probably most.

I’m looking for an engineer right now. I’ll take a young one to train up, but I’ll also take an experienced engineer that I don’t have to do anything.

That pay range is pretty broad.

The artists have some control. They could opt to make their tickets non-transferable. I doubt Ticketmaster would let that happen.

But artists are awfully quiet on the matter and let Ticketmaster be the bad guy while some portion of the fees are definitely going to the artists. Especially an artist like Taylor who is smart and has actual power.

I don’t think that’s favorable treatment. Defense is 3%. Social Security is 5%. Medicaid and Medicare is also 5%.

We can afford our defense budget and make the country better for the common person by utilizing our funds more efficiently and/or moving to universal healthcare.

And another 2.5Trillion on the private side. Spend more on healthcare than any other country with the same or worse outcomes.
