idk man I just need to vent i guess

my employer “provides” health insurance in exchange for my time and labor, and for that great privilege they take $600 out of my paycheck every month (covers me, my wife, and our 1yo son)

that’s half our monthly mortgage payment; it’s 2/3 our monthly grocery bill

why?

        Why don’t you ask them if they mind you stiffing them after they take care of you?

        What a shitty way to treat people.

          They get paid regardless. It’s a crooked system, some of us don’t survive without being equally so, especially from companies and entities that barely know you exist to begin with.

          Debt goes to collectors, they come calling, I ignore those too. Credit score in the 600’s. I’ll never afford a home so I don’t really care and I buy junk cars with cash from Facebook.

          If America is going to be a greedy capitalist shithole then I’m going to be the stingiest turd in the toilet. They want to get paid for healthcare, take it out of my taxes and make it a proper utility like an actual first world country.
