  • My doctor diagnosed me with a b-12 deficiency. Something easily fixed with a shot she prescribed.

    The pharmacist looked at me like I was a drug addict when I asked where the needle for the injection was when I picked up the scrip. “Just have the doctor do it”.

    Fee for randomly showing up to my doctor to get the shot? $0

    Fee for getting the shot done when I was actively at a scheduled check up? $130

    I take an oral supplement instead now that’s not quite as effective.






  • The pandemic showed that a huge percentage of our work is literately bullshit used to keep us grinding away and not actually living life. And to keep us from dealing with the huge and glaring problems in our society.

    The Puritan idea that we must slave away in order to be worthy is a lie.

    One of the greatest economists, Keynes, expected us to be working 15-20 hours a week at this point because of productivity increases.

    But instead of sharing in the blessing of productivity, we were forced to do an increasing amount of meaningless work and spend less time actually living, all while being shackled with debt rather than even increasing our pay.

    A pretty garbage system if you ask me.
