    Reminds me of ‘why do Americans eat like they have free universal health care?’

        Here’s the thing, it’s already paid for from your taxes. Some countries choose to feed the military machine where a few billion lost here and there isn’t an issue. However, when it cones to healthcare, it’s an insurmountable cost.

        Know what the best thing about national healthcare service? I don’t have to think about it. It’s there. How much it costs? Doesn’t matter? Will I become destitute if severely ill? No. Do I allow my fellow countrymen to be supported in times of need? Absolutely. Do I obtain natural hedging benefits from pooling risks into a bigger pot rather than having broken risk pools managed by thousands of insurance companies? Yup. Do countries with national service have greater costs than for-profit insurance healthcare? Nope, quite the opposite. Is life expectancy shorter in countries with national service? No, on the contrary, people live longer.

        Making sure everyone has access to treatment when in need should be viewed as a large achievement of societal living and a great patriotic duty, your fellow citizens are protected.

        But sure, without insurance middlemen milking people dry some people won’t get to enjoy their third mansion. Well, only if someone doesn’t have preexisting conditions otherwise you’re on your own and left to get treatment when in need and filling bankruptcy at the same time. The pinnacle of human development.

            Last time I replied to a comment here my comment got deleted for violating "be civil’ rule. I’m going to violate again and tell you… Are you really this dumb? Cant you comprehend what people mean when they say free healthcare you muppet?

            P.s. Mods: are you going to implement a “don’t say dumb things” rule ? Why do we have to be civil against obvious empty buckets for brains?

            Can you please go to some forest already, where you don’t have to pay taxes, so the rest of us can have a civilization and support each other like actual people.

            We can even try to make taxes a subscription thing. We will pay for the roads you walk on for free, you have to deal with the other bullshit using private companies. You don’t get healthcare unless you can pay for it, electricity, water, even justice. All of that will have to come out of your pocket.

            Meanwhile, we will go forward without you into the future.

            I always love seeing people stating grade school facts like they’re some unique insight into the world. Really lets you know what level they operate on.

          Free at the point of use isn’t the same thing as free.

          Edit: genuinely curious why I’m getting downvoted? I’m in the UK, I love the NHS, I think it represents fantastic value, but I’m not labouring under the impression I’m not paying for it.

        A local joint in my area did something like this last year. A five dollar burger with two patties, and one dollar per extra patty, no limit.

        I’m sure in practice there would have been a limit, but we got a lot of burger for twenty dollars that day. It came skewered and served on its side in what I’m guessing was a submarine sandwich tray.

    Kids, the internet tells me that I can get 10 regular Wendy’s cheeseburgers for $27.90

    So it a $2 upcharge for them to use less bread and pay the marketing team.

            Not sure when they’re referring to, but pre-legalization prices (in the U.S. at least) were very different than they are today.

            The last time I made a purchase was a long time ago, but even then I was kind of blown away by how cheap even good weed had gotten compared to the early 2000s. I can’t imagine schwag prices have somehow remained fixed, but circa 2004 a quarter of schwag (usually a few buds full of seeds and a big stem in the middle) was about $25.

            Then there was (somehow) even lower tier schwag that was like buying a big mystery bag full of mostly stems and seeds with shake and bits of flower stuck to some of the stems. But it was like a giant ziplock bag for ~$20 or less so it seemed like a “great deal.” Like the T-Rex burger of weed.

      Teenage me had access to $1 Junior bacon cheeseburgers. I have ordered 10+ on multiple occasions.

      Paying $30 for one burger would not have happened.

    Let’s be real: how would one eat this? It’s got to be fork and knife and that’s a burger line that shouldn’t be crossed in my book.
