I disagree. A higher turnover rate means paying the new guy less money. You’ll see this more often when they want to annoy people into quitting so they don’t need to pay unemployment.

They’re using the psychology correctly. It’s just awful for people as a whole. But it can temporarily make their books look good (high sales, low expenses) and justify bigger bonuses for the board.

I hope this will make it clear how much people actually pay on their retirement accounts. Far too many people I talk to don’t realize that they are paying an “expense ratio” on their investment funds.

Ahhh gotcha. We’re basically saying the same thing

I’m not sure what you mean by underwriting it and declining coverage anyway. But you’re correct, it is challenging to get somebody approved for taking medication relating to anxiety/depression. If they have a history of being hospitalized, they will not approve the underwriting.

It’s surprising that your wife got declined for being 10 lbs under weight. If that was truly the only problem, I’d be able to get that approved through just about anybody. Which company did you use?

Corporate person only when convenient.

DOJ wants people to realize just how large Google is. Google doesn’t want people to realize how big they are.

Typically the limit is 2 years.

Wouldn’t affect the payout, but it would increase your premium.

Typically no. Life insurance companies don’t like anything regarding mental illnesses. Largely because it’s under researched, so they just say “no thanks.”

I just watched this episode of Star Trek TNG

Come on in! There’s cookies.

Reddit? No. I was thinking moreso Meta. They have the deeper pockets and a proven track record of breaking privacy laws to their own benefit.

My tin foil hat is telling me it’s one of the other social media companies funding a hacking group to do it. They stand to have the most to lose, and they’ve seemingly decided to enjoy changing the narrative regarding multiple topics. Lemmy stands directly against what the bigger social medias stand for.

I have no evidence to back this though. As a business owner I just know that things become very consistent when people are being paid, and very inconsistent when they aren’t. These attacks are seemingly very consistent/organized.

Heh my bad. Thanks

It’s true. All new inventions have a morality issue to them. And those moralities need to be weighed heavily before implementing them.

But it can also be used to guide a secluded operative back to his troop. It can be used to detect road mines that otherwise would have exploded.

New technology is just a tool. It’s the people choosing how to use it that makes it moral/immoral.

I could see some cool military applications for this too.

Damn, you really hate Mexicans don’t you?

All a fair point. I hadn’t put much thought into the comment, but good on Australia for putting him away for life.

12 months per kid? A marijuana possession charge is more time than that.

That’s what we were told too. We made a post on Facebook tagging them and what their protocol was, and they reached out and changed their mind.

Who knows when I’ll get the money back though.

We booked Kauai and we’re really excited. Definitely cost a couple grand extra for the trip, and we’re owed about 4K in refunds. My heart goes out to those that can’t simply fork out that kinda cash.

Also if you paid for the hotel with a credit card, most cards offer free travel insurance. You can file a claim there and get a refund.
