Then make it a thousand dollars a month. $12,000 a year is still way below anything most people consider a normal modern income.
Again; you’re missing the bigger point entirely and fixating on specific numbers that I threw out as a quick example.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoSure, and you are willing to forego the services of any healthcare professional? Because most people consider being able to go to the emergency room as “normal”. My point was to dispute this overly simplistic assertion: >but with the nature of marketing and social pressure, almost no one is willing to make that kind of sacrifice today.
- keiferski 3y agoAgain, I thought it was obvious that I was talking about consumer goods, as the sentence before that one was about consumer goods. Why would marketing have anything to do with healthcare? You’re trying very hard to completely miss the broader point and are instead nitpicking something that I didn’t even claim. This is entirely a waste of time. It’s also why discussion culture has gotten so terrible on the internet, because instead of making obvious assumptions about my intent, people insist on critiquing little irrelevant pieces of it.
- bigfudge 3y agoI don’t think this is nitpicking I actually disagree with you. I think it’s an empirical question how much money could be saved by disavowing only the frivolous consumer items that you’re talking about. My hunch is, it’s less than you think.
- qup 3y agopoor people go to the emergency room and just never pay the bill. it barely even matters on your credit these days.
