  • I talk to about 10 customers each day for no more than 30 minutes and 99% of the time it’s to fix something they messed up on. 30% of those people are jerks.

    Thankfully most of my job is NOT dealing with customers and I truly feel bad for people who have to deal with them in high volume each day.

    If I call them, I can fix it immediately, if they call in, enjoy the robot. So don’t be mean and the call won’t be disconnected (which I have permission to do fortunately)










  • Idk how I missed this comment originally but it’s very interesting. I hated every vegetable as a kid, I still don’t like most of them but I’ll push myself to eat them. I do enjoy cucumbers, and a select others fresh vegetables. (Once they get cooked… 🤮🤮🤮)

    When avacados are “good” I friggin love them. It’s literally heaven for me. Idk what the deal is but I took advice from everyone in this thread and I bought a avacado and I’ll post a little update when I try it tomorrow.




  • 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 maintenance 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.
