I was absolutely sure this was some USA-as-usual post on lemmy. How insane do you have to be to write something like that in a country with working labor laws?
I wanna see the prosecutors face, tbh.

Esperanto’s equivalent would probably be Haskell.
Python is probably more like Spanish. Very easy basics, but then people from different regions of where it’s has spread out barely understand each other
This is hilarious. I wish they’d properly publish it in something peer-reviewed.
I also don’t never proof-read my shit posting on the internet tbh
Kamala has openly stated in the debate that she believes the only way is a two-state solution. Whether that’s realistic or not, it’s a pretty strong statement, and there’s some hope on the horizon. Unless until she actually gets to do anything, da Joe will sleep through the conflict turning into the entire region being nuked to the ground by the IDF.
Fix your fuckin democracy already instead of posting trump bad memes on lemmy.
It’s truly a world-news sub, cuz I was like “du-uh, where’s the news?” until it hit me.
Tell me more about “sentiment”. It’s not sentiment, it’s white/european supremacism being executed full force in plain daylight.
Turns out those are MRI machines, but they’re at their regular price of 2mil per piece. 15 MRI machines is a lot. There are many hospitals even in the developed countries that can afford exactly one. And many that don’t have one at all.
It’s kinda like this: you walk dogs for a living, you vote left hoping that they’ll come to power and print a lot of money and just pay for everything you need, one day your dream comes true and you wake up in Venezuela.
And as to why all sane countries have a forced universal healthcare insurance that will deduct from your paycheck exactly as OP described, and will do as an obligation by law, you can consider me copy-pasting this thing as an explanation:
P.s. you pulled 7% number out of your ass. It’s exactly as I explained the “visible” part of the deductible. The actual number is precisely double, again as explained.
So, in total you might have a salary of 50k and you’ll see 300 being deducted every month. Even though in fact the employer will have to also pay 300 to the insurance, making your actual gross salary 53.5k, and the actual deductible to be 600€.
I wanna see Lemmy’s face when they’ll realize this is not a singular incident and with all the various social security systems and taxes combined they’ll end up with receiving on their bank account some 40-45% of what left their employer bank account to keep them employed.
But oh boy “600$ got deducted, corporate fascism, our USA is broken, please go look at the universal healthcare countries it’s soo much better, I promise”.
It actually is if you’re poor. And if you’re somewhere, where your deductible is 600$, you would’ve been much better off with an American system. Might not be ideal from a societal point of view, but you as an individual who has the means to use a 600$/m private insurance will absolutely be much better off.
And, so, believe it or not, Americans on those private corporate plans get a much, much better healthcare than folks in the same salary range enjoying the universal healthcare.
And if you don’t understand how, why, and what’s at play behind regulated and deregulated health insurance markets, then you do not qualify to be anti-work.
So, you’re saying anyone in Germany with an above average salary is forced to pay 400$ out of their salary for their healthcare insurance? Isn’t this exactly what OP complains about, or can you not logic at all?
Did I or OP say anything about out-of-pocket? Do you actually know anything about the insurance market and do you realize that your co-pays are only that low because this forced system exists?
looks like it’s not only our US friends who knows jack shit about how universal healthcare works
You’re kidding me, right? I lived in a few of those “best healthcare in the world” countries, and I was paying 400-600€ per month. Forcefully. By law.
The healthcare costs afterwards are much lower than in the US exactly because this system exists. But neither OP nor you have even the basics right on how and why those markets are shaped to be this way.
Instead you live in a fairytale world where in the US an evil employer deducted 600$ from your paycheck to pay for your health insurance, while in some universal healthcare countries it’s just “free”.
So, funnily enough, there’s as usual here an army of lemmings upvoting your BS and downvoting me. While the healthcare in Europe is affordable specifically because the government forcefully takes about 600$ out of your paycheck and gives to the insurance. And neither you nor the employer have any chance to say no to that.
That’s disgusting! Where do those criminals gather, so I could go an express my utter disappointment to them directly?
You’re dumb as a rock. And so is the yurobro.
In those European countries the employee often costs 20-30% more than their stated salary.
There’s absolutely no such thing as “my employer gives me extra insurance free of charge”. It’s not free. They’re paying for it.
As I worked for a small startup I know all the numbers. I received X gross on paper, the company had expenses of 1.2X, and I got 0.6X on my bank account. Oh boy, gotta love those “free” health insurances, unemployment benefits, paid sick days etc.
Until you realize that in your praised Europe with the universal healthcare this is presicely how it works.
If you want cash instead of benefits go become a contractor.
I can’t possibly see where on an antiwork sub I could even begin to explain why employment laws and health insurances exist instead of everyone just getting plain cash for their labor. If you don’t know that, you’re not qualified to be antiwork.
Victims?! You’re using someone’s infrastructure, very expensive programmer talent, countless content creators dedication; you’re using all of it for free, and you’re the victim when the other party tries to enforce a payment?
People like you is why communism will never become a reality.
No, in Europe this would’ve immediately triggered a criminal investigation.
“Someone’s been stabbed and they casually drive to the hospital cuz ambulance is too expensive, this is regular day stuff lemme give them a ride” is only a normal occurance in the US and Lebanon.
Stupid morning people took over the world and convinced all regular people that their lifestyle is equivalent to being hard-working.
This stems from the agrarian times when utilizing as much of daylight as possible equaled to getting as much work done as possible.
Consequently, modern studies show that night owls are better scientists and creatives, while those morning folks are better at menial and repetitive jobs. Got em.
“Slugabed” is in the Merriam-Webster!
Hi, yes, it’s me here, I vote for trump.
Not really, I’m a troll, and otherwise there are fukin zero trump voters here. You also ban anyone even trying to say anything pro trump.
So save yourself your keyboard war. You’re like a kid fighting with tall grass. Also, get the f out of the world news sub.
