You got that right with being a delivery dude !

My youngest daughter is a FedEx contractor, she needs like 14 drivers yesterday. It isn't the greatest job in the world, hard work, piecework, no benefits,drive a big ass truck just below CDL level, make about $1,000 a week, $$1,500 this time of year

I can't even find her a recruit for that job !

Are you a head hunter Doug? I own a small business and it’s next to impossible finding help. Let alone decent help. Yes I can go the under the table way and hire Spanish help but I refuse to hire anyone I can’t pay on the books and drive my trucks without a license. It’s so crazy that rewarding bad behavior is the new norm. Just got my renewal healthcare from united health for family plan 2020. 2300.$ a month for shit coverage my son and wife each had to go to emergency room once this past year 2600. A pop. That’s fucking crazy. Glad I work like a dog so I can be a slave for the free uninsured. Before you know it we’re going to be just like Great Britain or France or Germany where you have to wait 2 months to see a doctor unless your in the 1 percent. Anything government touches turns to shit regardless of parties. Will we ever wake up

Some are tips and some are gifts—


i go over and above on getting my kids teachers something really nice. It’s can make difference at grade time, Nd cutting a little slack when an assignment is due. I also get my boss something- it’s more like a bribe.

Postal delivery girl, she's great and delivers both to my office and my residence

Oh, and a little extra to my barber

If anyone is friendly or looks like they need an unexpected tip to put a smile on their face

May depend where you live but a $5’er slipped in their hand would be okay

huh? I see healthcare costs have been fixed. You are paying $27,600 yr for 'shit coverage' and had to fork over $5200 in uncovered costs for TWO ER visits?

Fixed? that's funny :)

Insurance purchased through an exchange can be very expensive unless you're low income

And Obamacare compliant coverage only needs to cover 1 exam per year, a colonoscopy every few years, mammograms and maternity. From first hand experience, not everything connected to those services is covered either. I pay extended blood-work. If additional testing is required for your colonoscopy or mammogram, that's not required to be covered and thus not covered by my plan.

So it's plausible that walking into the ER costs big bucks

With the repeal of the Obamacare penalty, other plans are reemerging and I expect choices to expand



Just spent two minutes perusing your link, the author has a tad bit of universal care bias

Living in an all senior's apartment, I rarely see the post office people and when I do, it's never the same one twice. Even when i was growing up on a family farm in rural America, peole didn't give gifts to the Postal service. It's become absurd. And if I give to one of the employees working in the building now where I live and word gets out it will never end. Christmas should be about FAMILY and giving to the most needy among us.

two minutes? took me 1/2 minute, he did provide links tho. Some were good others funny

mind blogging that someone pay $27,000 with after- taxes dollars for healthcare 'insurance' (tax deductable,?) then needs to drop over $5 k on 2 er visits. WTF? what the hell does the insurance cover!! That's insane.

curious if the poster doesnt mind disclosing - what was done at these ER visits?

That and social security card security / pensions, you're supposed to croak in your 70's, not your 90's !

Govt needs to design some new diseases or something to fix this conundrum !

Doug, its basic math. Fuckin' disaster. Here in Ontario we have a severe shortage of long term care facilities , 25 are being built within the next 1-5 yrs (what i have been told). WHO pays for the elderly to stay there?- our govt only subsidizes , there's still a bill. A massive strain on govt and families

yup, you maybe on to something we need a new disease

Yes my wife had Mrsa a bacterial infection she was super sick went to er thinking I have coverage no way did she know are er copay/ deductible was that much. In addition my deductibles for catastrophic surgery over 7500. I will post my plan. I had Obama care through the exchange of our state when it was first implemented and yes monthly cost were cheaper however coverage was even worse not to mention when government involved total clusterfuck. There telling you they except your coverage when they don’t total nightmare. We left the exchange 3 years ago because our health care rep said this was a better option. Single paying system is shit unless your in the 1 percent . Nothing like waiting 3 months to see a doctor. We are quickly moving toward great Britain France Germany where waiting is the norm . I like having choices and this is just more bs. Remember health savings accounts that was some smart shit. I will post my plan in this thread so you can see for yourself .
