@RightSidesOnly_ Camping is great too, 10 days for $180

@WesWeeklySays That’s awesome. And if that’s the case I wouldn’t be mad if NH raised prices next year! It’s not about the money. I just want to see the sport grow and hate seeing empty stands.

First thing #NASCAR needs to do to get the fans back on board: Lower admission prices. Why are tickets $135 if the stands will only be half full? My local NBA team has tickets for $12 some nights. Fill the stands first, then raise the prices.

@Jakkishh @JDP_PTL @Mopar @Jon_173d @live_free_603 Yep, last year about 150 people showed up to the meeting. I’m 37 and was maybe 1 on 5 under 65 where the boomers voting for every spending bill then doubled their exemption and the income limits for it.

@WesWeeklySays @JDP_PTL @Mopar @Jon_173d @live_free_603 The boomer robbery continues. There’s nothing more radicalizing than going to town meeting and watching all the old people vote for every single proposed tax increase and then vote themselves out of having to pay any of it.

Imagine

@JDP_PTL @Mopar @Jakkishh @Jon_173d @live_free_603 Towns have pretty large property tax breaks for seniors who really need a break on them. My town, average assessment is around 480k. If a 65+ couple makes less than 120k/yr and has less than $300k in liquid assets, they get a $200k break on their assessment.

@Mopar @Jakkishh @Jon_173d @live_free_603 Yeah I get it. But it's nice to not lose your house if you can't come up with taxes, and they keep raising it on you.

@KevinMBlkbrn @Whitney1199072 @SydneyLWatson I mean there is more to it than that, what about the radiologist pay? Equipment used to read the MRI? The building its in? All the other overhead associated with actually running a facility to give you that MRI and provide the results of that MRI. Not saying it’s not overpriced.

@Whitney1199072 @SydneyLWatson The cost of the equipment should be incorporated into billing based on its effective lifetime. On the low end, an MRI lasts 10 years, high end cost, $3mil. 1 scan/day, 260 weekdays = $1,153.85 to recoup costs. A scan shouldn’t exceed $2k per patient.

Seen a lot of conversation about how predatory the American medical system is. So I will weigh in. I ended up going to the ER about 2 weeks ago for crippling pain. Turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. I was there for MAYBE 4 hours. My bill? $13,500 dollars. Because I'm uninsured (by choice, that shit is a SCAM), the hospital dropped my bill down to $8,100 and some change as an "uninsured" discount. For starters, $13,500 for a 4 hour hospital visit is insane as it is. But the fact the hospital can wipe $5,000 off the bill "just because" should show you how utterly fucked this system is. And to be clear - $8,000 is still an absolutely insane sum of money when all these people did was scan my stomach and give me some pain killers. On my itemized bill, my CT scan was 7k. The iodine they used was $900. Just being in the ER room alone was $2,500. We phoned the hospital to haggle. They dropped the price by $20. Normal people can't survive this shit. I do okay and $8,000 is still an INSANE chunk of money out of my savings. Anyone who argues this isn't a disgusting, predatory system is crazy. And it is even crazier that Americans accept this. And for those of you who argue this is the free market, I need you to be quiet. There can never be a true free market here when government and insurance have their creepy little fingers in this pie. People shouldn't go bankrupt trying to pay medical bills. This has to change.

@SydneyLWatson @CasuallyGreg Health insurance is a scam until you need it. I am a healthy, active individual and had a medical event at 33 that left me in the ICU for 3 months followed by a rehab hospital for a few weeks. Total bill? $5.5m. My responsibility? Approx $2k.

@Davidphoward @jonbrooks Brother….60 year old trailers on a postage stamp sell for $250k in some parts of the Country…. What do you think of this home? zillow.com/homedetails/33…

@jonbrooks Fucking horse shit. Plenty of new houses under 250k. People just don't want a simple home and want extravagant mcmansions. I will block you in 24 hours to fuck with you algorithms. You are a fucking waste of flesh.

We want builders to build starter homes at $200–250k so the next generation can actually... start. Instead, they sell $400–500k+ homes and call them “starter homes.” $3,190/month is NOT a starter home.

@jonbrooks If 500k homes are selling like hot cakes, why would anyone waste their lots on 250k homes?

@KesendraB @DaireCarragher Granite doesn’t degrade….no need for replacement. That’s the whole issue.

@DaireCarragher Funds were allocated for a 3-year project to replace the stone panels under the reflecting pool. Trump cheaped out with a coat of swimming pool paint and probably pocketed the rest of the cash.

As a non-American, this is just objectively going to be an improvement no?

@AmiriKing Brother, have you ever driven in NH? We are fast, but courteous. 85 in a 70 is the normal pace and people get the fuck out the way went they aren’t passing.

I created this map to show you exactly where people can’t drive worth a sh!t. This map is BIG facts. You’re welcome.

@RobF_28 @AmiriKing Truth, I take 26 across the state on every trip to Florida and it’s just horrible. Shitboxes everywhere, people doing 50 in the left lane.

@AmiriKing You haven’t spent enough time in SC. The absolute worst collection of drivers on earth

@AmiriKing As someone from NH that drives to FL and back 2x a year, MD to FL has some of the worst drivers in this country. Absolute jaloppies on the road, 55 in the left lane etc.

@TheEXECUTlONER_ Who gives a shit? Glad I live far far away from any HOA.

This lady lives across the street from this. Her neighbors park two tow trucks in the driveway, a moving truck in front of the house and a pickup truck on the street the next house over. Surprisingly they live in an HOA but the HOA refuses to do anything about it. Would you be good with this? Would you just let it be? Or, would you complain to the city?

@Real_Ames @TheEXECUTlONER_ It became a political problem when one admin had a $300m plan for it and the current admin is getting it done for $2m

🚨 So let me get this straight… The Reflection Pool at the Lincoln Memorial looks like THIS… 🤢 …and the moment someone wants to clean it up, suddenly it’s a problem? We’re really arguing over fixing dirty water now? At what point did basic maintenance become political? It’s a national landmark—not a science experiment. Clean it. Fix it. Take pride in it. Why is that controversial? 🤔

@MadnessWes47898 @JoeA_NFL Sex tape? Love child?

@JoeA_NFL What else could there possibly be He banged a hot reporter Cat is already out of the bag Another pic of him holding her hand means nothing

@Savageboston Sex tape gonna drop right before the pats make their first pic

What a fucking mess for Vrabel and Russini. They released the follow up photos on draft day! At noon! Someone clearly wants to destroy them.

@Savageboston @nypost I think someone that recognized one of them took these pics, with no idea about the context (cheating) and when the story broke, ran to their iCloud to see if they still had that pic and then sold it.

New from 6 years ago: Per: @nypost Mike Vrabel and Diana Russini pictures from 2020 have now been released. Someone is trying to destroy them. What in the hell

@JigginJalen @Tonysmarkettips Someone who recognized vrabel and took a pic, but had no idea about the context (that it wasn’t his wife) and scrambled to find their old photos on I cloud to sell them when the story came out….thats who

@Tonysmarkettips I was expecting more but not this, who sat on this for six years

Full story in my comments. How many times did I tell you more was coming?! These photos are reportedly from 6 years ago.

@eurofounder Yeah so just don’t pay it…..simple solution with no repercussions if you don’t live here 🤷🏻‍♂️

My wife collapsed in our hotel room in New York today “Call an ambulance, I can’t breathe” she was screaming My heart dropped If she ends up in an American hospital we are financially ruined I went on the Lufthansa app to book a flight back to Frankfurt, but unfortunately pilots are on strike today “Please I’m begging you” she was lying on the floor I sighed and called 911 She is now in surgery as apparently her appendix “almost burst” I am extremely scared This is going to cost us at least $100,000 She could have received much better care, for free, in Germany I will never visit this barbaric country ever again
