JohnDClay , to asklemmy in Need help picking out a heating solution for the winter.

If you pay for electricity, make sure you include an estimate for the electricity cost in your cost calculations. A resistive heater like choice b will be much cheaper to buy, but will be much more expensive over time. Heat pumps use about 3x less energy.

Kaboom , to nostupidquestions in Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance?

You can get your own health insurance. Its called market place insurance. Most use their employers health insurance, but that option exists. And theres no “enrollment period”

fifbiff ,

Yeah but it’s way more expensive

Kaboom ,

Yes. With employment insurance, your employer pays a large chunk of it, its called benefits for a reason. Like 401k matching, if you dont use it, youre leaving money on the table

zbyte64 ,

They call it benefits because it’s marketing that works.

@elephantium@lemmy.world avatar

What would you call it? What’s your objection to the term “employee benefits”? You sound like you have an axe to grind, but I don’t get your angle.

zbyte64 ,

My angle is to paid the most. If we let the person we are negotiating with to define all the terms and conditions, then there is not much room to ask for more.

db2 ,

They definitely marketed effectively to you.

That’s not a good thing.

Kaboom ,

Do you not have a 401k? Or a Roth IRA? Are you at least paying into social security?

db2 ,

No, no, and yes until the so-called Republicans gut it and pocket the money.

You’re not speaking the same language here.

Kaboom ,

You really need to start saving for retirement, its never too early, and if you start late, it can still help

db2 ,

Unless you’re offering to pay for it I’m in the same boat as many others. I live check to check, there is no extra.

Kaboom ,

I really doubt you cant find ten bucks every pay period

zbyte64 ,

Imagine how much more money you’d make grinding your life away instead of hanging out here with us losers. Hell, you should be charging for your advice here, no need to give it away for free!

Kaboom ,

“You should save for retirement” isnt exactly ground breaking advice.

zbyte64 ,

Hey buddy, don’t be so hard on yourself. I’m sure you’ll find a better way to contribute.

cm0002 ,

Healthcare is a human right, it should have never been a benefit tied to employment.

Kaboom ,

Thats why Medicare and Medicaid exist

cm0002 ,

Those things are a joke, have you ever been on Medicare? It’s terrible and are still strangled by private insurances at every turn.

A few years ago, it was calculated that moving to a single-payer healthcare system and abolishing private healthcare would, at worst, increase an individuals tax to like <$1000/yr

I have a fairly decent employer provided insurance and even then it’s still 500+ a MONTH in just premiums. Before even factoring in other private insurance bullshit like copays and out of pockets and a myriad of other fees and gotchas, I’ll exceed that 1000 tax bill in like 2 months.

Even if you’re a selfish conservative asshole, it would save you so much money as well.

But sure, keep listening spouting the rich elite propaganda, you’re just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire after all.

By tying insurance to employment (side effect of some economic policy) the option to shop around was removed. When people are already forced to use the insurance provided by employment so that they can afford it, there is no way for some other insurance agency to be competitive. Then it just got worse over the years.

The ACA attempting to make a competitive market was a half assed substitute for just going all in on single payer, but at least people with the jobs that don’t provide insurance have the possibility of affording it now so it is better. Just getting stabbed instead of being shot better.

CrimeDad , to nostupidquestions in Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance?

I think, from the perspective of the insurance companies, the risk is greater for insuring people’s health than their vehicles. Also, people’s lives are at stake, so it’s basically just a complicated extortion market. I don’t know I think all the pharma and healthcare industries should be nationalized and all the healthcare workers conscripted. Can’t be worse than what we have now.

ThrowawayPermanente ,

It can always get worse

CrimeDad ,

How is nationalized healthcare in one of the wealthiest countries in the world supposed to be worse than what we have now?

testfactor , to linux in what is the equivalent of Windows Active Directory in Linux?

If most of the boxes are Windows, probably Samba4.

But if you’re mostly using Linux, FreeIPA is actually really nice.

Jayb151 OP ,

FreeIPA

Ho shit! I never actually heard of this before, but I’m interested now. I’ve been using Fedora on my personal laptop…and have been wanting to switch to Linux on my gaming PC. I haven’t made the leap yet though as I’m not 100% comfortable being without Windows. I know dual booting is a things but I haven’t done that in a decade and would rather just have one OS on my Pc. Thanks a lot for your response!

    Trump’s existence doesn’t make Obama’s health care plan suck any less.

    Also: “Your guy sucks as badly as our guy” isn’t the awesome rebuttal you think it is.

    Because rich people on large corporations refuse to pay their fair share of taxes

    joyjoy ,

    Those rich people also are shareholders of the insurance companies

    AndrewZabar ,

    Yes and they also own politicians.

    DemBoSain ,

    Because the American system provides for a rich ecosystem of middlemen and lobbyists. If we switch to Universal Healthcare, what will they do? Code?

    yemmly ,

    No one knows, but for sure the reason is something rotten. I’ve never ever heard a reasonable argument against it.

    abbadon420 ,

    Not the entire “first world” has universal health care. The Netherlands for example has only 62% UFC. Which is fairly managable in paractice, with proper regulations and support for thos ewho can’t pay the €120 obligatory monthly insurance fee, but obviously it’s complete bullshit.
