If we got rid of the bot farms the internet would be a much better place, less polarizing, less nonsense, less propaganda. Israel, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia etc . I guarantee our “friends” and enemies, corporations and I bet even the US are deploying these bots all throughout the internet.

That’s what we should focus on. How though? I don’t know.

The avocado I picked out based on the stem turned out perfectly. I loved the taste and I didn’t need to season it at all to hide anything. Thank you.

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.

I got some pictures of an avacado I bought but it’s not letting me upload it right now. I’ll try again tomorrow and I’ll try the avacado I bought tomorrow as well. Disclaimer I’m in a different state so it might be a different avacado then the one I get at home. It doesn’t say on the sticker but it looks the same

I bought an avacado with the stem off to the side with the fruit going slightly above the stem. I think it’ll be ready tomorrow to eat.

Disclaimer I am also in a different state at the moment so they might not be the same avacados I get at home. I’ll update how this one turns out.

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.

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

Got that one! Thank you!

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

Thank you I’m learning so much today!

It kinda looks like the same material. I’m at work and I’ll keep looking when I get off tonight and let you know what I end up going with

Lmaoo why do I have a hotel blanket

Thank you!!

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

Thank you very much. Whole Cloth quilt is looking like what I’m looking for

🤣 I never even noticed

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.
