You’ll never fail like common people.

Bombastic.

Real answer…

GPS accurate enough to tell the car where the lanes are.

Drive thru wouldn’t be too bad, it’s essentially stop and go traffic. Plus, when full autonomy happens, drive thrus will become less common. You can just pre-order your food while the car is driving you to the restaurant. The restaurant will tell the car how long the food will take, and what parking spot to use. Then your car will tell the restaurant your ETA, and notify them exactly when you arrive. Food is waiting, so you just grab the bag and go.

The meme is a little exaggerated.

Since demographics matter for insurance cost. White, male, 30-40yr old married non-smoker.

My insurance monthly is ~350 a month, but I only pay about 80 dollars, and my employer covers the rest.

What do I get for that?

1 eye exam and 1 pair of lenses and 1 frame a year (spending limit on the frame is ~200 IIRC)

1 dental cleaning, 50% coverage on dental procedures, with a maximum benefit of 1500 dollars.

Medical… It’s kinda a crapshoot. 0 dollars for an annual checkup. 25 dollar copay for additional Dr visits. I wanna say 800 dollar copay on ER visits. Maximum out of pocket is 5500 a year.

Also, fuck you if you get injured in some states, most other countries, or if you go to any hospital (or even a particular Dr in a hospital) which isn’t “in network” (PS, there is no way for you to find out who is in-network, and keep your sanity).

Don’t even ask me about pharmacy. It’s practically a roulette. One medication may be 100% covered at one location, and 0% at another. Generic may not be covered, even if it is cheaper and more available than the brand name.

American healthcare isn’t particularly fast either. I injured my ankle about 4 years ago. I tried to establish with a Dr to get it checked out (and avoid exorbitant ER/urgent care fees) and the closest appointment was 4 months out.

My partner and I had to get a covid test in 2020. I called my provider and they said it would be 100% covered. My partner caller thier provider, and their response was “we don’t know, get one done and we’ll see what happens”. They received a 300 dollar bill for the test.

I’m sure it was very illegal, and nobody did a thing about it.

I was part of a union. I got paid minum wage. My manager was the union rep. I had to work a role that I was literally allergic to.

Despite this, I’m still pro-union. Just not that particular union.

The shame cuts deep. I hope you don’t need stitches.

they keep trying to pass more and more gun control.

If you’ve got a solution for the absurd rates of mass shootings in the US, that does not involve some form of common-sense firearm restrictions, then you need to let people fucking know about it.

That being said. Common sense firearm restrictions is not the same as “taking guns away from the working class.”

They wont gut Medicaid, they’re just going to force it to take on huge debt while they cut taxes for the 1% and then say that it’s Democrat’s fault for overspending.

If they would campaign on Medicare for all…

That’s essentially what the ACA was before the Republicans gutted it (the first time).

…and stop trying to take guns out of the hands of the working class…

This isnt actually a platform or goal of the Democratic party…

they would get several of my family members to vote their way.

So… Which Russian agent did they vote for instead?

Thats not going to happen.

The only thing they love more than bitching about government overspending, is benefiting from it. The whole DOGE will have less power in the government than the meme it’s based on, and the people who will run it are looking to line their pockets with your money for the least effort on their part.

Right, but what do you do when someone who works less, or isn’t as talented or smart, as you gets the same or better healthcare!?

Edit: /s

…there is also no official evidence whatsoever that proves that such things do not exist

That statement right there sums up the problem.

No, you cannot prove that the supernatural does not exist. The same way you cannot prove that god doesn’t exist, or that there isn’t a teakettle in orbit around the sun between Venus and Mercury. The lack of evidence against their existence is not evidence for it. However, since there have been so many claims of supernatural phenomena, gods and near-sun teakettles, and none of them have been shown to be true, I feel confident in saying that they don’t exist.

Here are some interesting counterpoints though…

The James Randi prize has never been claimed. No person has been able to demonstrate the existence of supernatural phenomena in order to claim an easy 1 million dollars.

Everything that has ever been discovered has turned out to be not magic.

Oh yeah, the world is pretty fucked here. We’re at a tipping point for climate disaster.
