why isn't this constitutionally protected.

Can we pass an amendment for this shit? It's actually kind of fucked up.

Kind of? Are you going to tell us that the US healthcare system is "sorta silly" next?

[-] skullone@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 months ago

Sorta silly?! It's fucked beyond belief. Source: me, someone who profits off the healthcare industry as a corpo. Sorry 🤷.

god if i had the arcane knowledge of the entire field of healthcare, i would do some unbelievably fucked up shit.

And by that i mean writing open documentation that is continually maintained and represents most healthcare providers in the US specifically to fuck up their entire existence.

Doo iiiiit! (If you can).

Honestly I do the best I can to fudge numbers and drive down prices, but I can only do so much. They're eventually going to catch on and replace me with someone who doesn't give a fuck.

lol, perhaps one of these days i will have enough expendable income and time to dedicate to this kind of shit.

It'd make for a rather fun experience.

From a certain point of view? Yes.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

i mean, it is sorta silly. Not full sillyness, full sillyness would be forcing people in immediate life threatening injury to recite the ABC's backwards before operation as protocol.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

Sure, there's degrees of silly

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

i spose there would be, but at the end of the day. Silly is a rather silly word to be using in this manner.

I think that some companies like turbotax are employing lobbyists to make impossible filing for taxes unless you go through a gatekeeper

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

yep, which is why its weird that we don't have a legally protected avenue of direct filing.

[-] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

I have a couple of other constitutional amendments I'd like to advance before this.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

idk man i think i disagree honestly.

Tax is one of the very few constants that we all have to legally deal with, aside from like, auto insurance.
