US jobs need to pay better for the chance of sickness and bankruptcy you’ll face
You can afford insurance and still go bankrupt.
“Medical expenses directly cause 66.5% of bankruptcies, making it the leading cause for bankruptcy. Additionally, medical problems that lead to work loss cause 44% of bankruptcies”
Blue state cab be better…
But these stats are concerning. More herehttps://www.retireguide.com/retirement-planning/risks/medical-bankruptcy-statistics/#:~:text=Medical%20expenses%20directly%20cause%2066.5,loss%20cause%2044%25%20of%20bankruptcies.
“Research has found that bitcoin miners alone consume approximately between 60 to 125 TWh of energy annually, which is equivalent to around 0.6% of global electricity”
“Traditional banks’ total annual energy consumption of traditional banks is around 26 TWh on running servers, 26 TWh on ATMs, and 87 TWh from an estimate of 600k+ branches worldwide. Totaling 139 TWh.”
Not to mention banks impact on people’s lives. Limited purchasing power of the poor and soon to join them middle class… to purchase disposable products

Yeah. 600k Branches, 1 million atms, data centers…
Vs. Banks. That have offices, branches, atms, data centers… banking does use more energy yearly. So why not both invest in renewables
Lets talk about the bank branchs, data centers, and energy consumption vs crypto.

I’m all for less power usage … but seems like a witch hunt compared to what banking gets away w. It’s the the first time banks can point the finger at someone other then themselves.

I don’t think that’s what the article is talking about. The cart and hand scanner are different.
I have Andriod and my wife’s got iPhone. IMessages don’t deliver… or deliver hours later. Images don’t make it… or make it xna they are potato.
Uh. It’s not that. Along w that is videos w potato quality, messages that never make it. Of course anyone reading your comment knows you missed the point.
Lol. That wild tootin Pootin.
To the feds “we are independent Texas Tough” , “Join the national grid? screw you!” , “our state, our decision to remove womans rights!” “Don’t tell me feds!!”
To Biden “pwease help us and secure our bowder… we suck at it”
Yeah. An even chair. This is wild.
Hopefully we’ll see that the possibility of skilled workers with no education can also take part. And that pay is stagent. In 1995… 50k a year w benifits health care and retirement is now the new 80k - 100k a year. Even then take home and savings is less then it’s ever been in 30 years.
Follow the math of rising cost and inflation , and the increase of CEO pays and you one can conclude, workers can be paid more and should match cost ans inflation increases. People with schooling should make more. True.
Many companies do pay more and they make their competition looks like hacks.
Market Basket is a unionized grocery chain in the northeast. In Saco Maine there is a market basket right near a super Walmart. Market Basket is awesome… but I digress.
The Makret basket has 30 checkout isles and 1 cashier and 1 bagger per checkout. They are paid very well. That’s 60 employees just in the check out. Their prices are the same and many times are less then Walmart. Walmart right across the way… 5 minutes walk…, is 100% self checkout. Pays about half, Stores completly trashed, prices are not cheper, you gotta check your self out … and its doubtful there’s even 10 staffers in store.
In ending the older you get… the more it seems absurd to pay the younger gen that much… however follow the math.

50k in 1996 is worth 98k in today’s numbers. Also remember a job back then…came with healthcare that covered you at 80 bucks a month. Retirement plans exisisted … you’d even get bonus and go to company parties that were paid by owners.
Yeah. Exactly. Space man is bad. It’s not free speech to harm others. We are in the US where woman don’t have rights over their choices in many states.
Wow Kansas, you sure showed their genitals who’s the boss.
Just do it, jump Kansas.
No, no. That suggests Rich people can get in trouble for doing dumb things. Can’t be having them treated like plebs?
Can’t we just make him eat a bag of those chips in that challenge?
GOP steps into the chat.
