Jobs that either don't contribute in any meaningful way or jobs where one would be better off if they were paid to be on call.

The entirety of the health insurance industry

All dicks and no holes. Just a big pile of fuckery and greed in a big circle. The fed fucks big pharma. So the pharma company fucks over the hospitals. The hospital turns around and fucks the insurance. And the insurance companies are legally justified to square the difference from out of your asshole. And since some of that comes from the fed via state run marketplaces, the cycle of fuckery is complete.

If anyone’s offended by my language there, I apologize and assure you, it’s an entirely gender neutral and accurate metaphor.

I like how an annual doctor's visit and a biannual dental cleaning are supposed to be 100% covered by insurance.

But every time I go, I get a bill later on with the explanation that "the provider is asking for too much money for the services so we are refusing to pay the full amount". Fuck off. That's not how that's supposed to work.

health insurance provides a legitimate service to society. not a bullshit job. i get you have political motives to project but it's not a bullshit job.

If by "job" you mean being a middle man sucking money and effectiveness from people and getting in the way of actual health care, then I agree. It's a "job" in that people show up and get paid, but it's 100% a bullshit job.

Exactly! Apparently being irritated by being directly affected by this bullshit this is a political agenda? 🤣
