I hear people complain about prices of concrete but like you said it could be the wages. I just looked up concrete and it’s $5 for 80lbs. That doesn’t seem terribly expensive for 80lbs. How many bags do you think it would take to do an average driveway?

Thanks, I had no idea asphalt was a byproduct of petroleum. Is concrete just rocks?

They do that here on side streets but our highways are non stop pot holes at the moment. I’d love some steel plates on the highways.

I think I’m going to buy one of those sketchy streaming boxes with thousands of channels.

That or learn how to download and host my own content.

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Edit: just realized what sub I’m in. Guess I better start reading up.

Yeah, I know we’re a Spanish speaking country. My team doesn’t have a Spanish broadcast. There’s a few I found for college football, but we’re in off season and I was thinking they might be currently playing in other countries.

I like the logo for that one. The blue chicken is pretty sharp looking too. If I pick off logos I’m going with Raptors de Naucalpan.

Or if I become a bandwagon I could follow the Caudillos.

I just looked into it and I’m not seeing it on YouTube TV. If I could have my college team in Spanish would definitely be ideal so I’ll try to look into it a little more

Awesome, thank you! I just subscribed to their YouTube channel. They have some full games on there which is perfect. Are you a fan of any of those teams?

Demand that our politicians to stop allowing corporations from buying up all single family housing.

Thats where I would start.

The avocado I picked out based on the stem turned out perfectly. I loved the taste and I didn’t need to season it at all to hide anything. Thank you.

Idk how I missed this comment originally but it’s very interesting. I hated every vegetable as a kid, I still don’t like most of them but I’ll push myself to eat them. I do enjoy cucumbers, and a select others fresh vegetables. (Once they get cooked… 🤮🤮🤮)

When avacados are “good” I friggin love them. It’s literally heaven for me. Idk what the deal is but I took advice from everyone in this thread and I bought a avacado and I’ll post a little update when I try it tomorrow.

I got some pictures of an avacado I bought but it’s not letting me upload it right now. I’ll try again tomorrow and I’ll try the avacado I bought tomorrow as well. Disclaimer I’m in a different state so it might be a different avacado then the one I get at home. It doesn’t say on the sticker but it looks the same

I bought an avacado with the stem off to the side with the fruit going slightly above the stem. I think it’ll be ready tomorrow to eat.

Disclaimer I am also in a different state at the moment so they might not be the same avacados I get at home. I’ll update how this one turns out.

It’s absolutely insane what they charge. Another example is an MRI

I had an MRI done a few months back. I took probably max 30 minutes of the machine’s time. My bill was $5000. Fortunately insurance covered all but $200, but collectively it raises all of our insurance rates when a hospital charges $5000 for an hour test.

I did some math. A new MRI is 1 million to 3 million dollars. We’ll go on the upper end of 3 million.

Let’s say they do 8 MRIs a day.

They make $40,000 a day per MRI A 5 day work week they bring in $200,000/week $800,00/ month

That MRI is paid off in 4 months.

I get there’s other expenses. Rent is a few thousand a month. The techs probably made $20 a piece while I was there. There’s definitely maintenance on the machines. But come on? $5,000 for an MRI?

Let’s go a little deeper and see why the actual machines are so expensive. Are they actually that expensive or is GE, Siemens, Phillips making a huge markup?

I don’t hate capitalism like a lot on here, but I believe our needs health, education, housing, electricity needs to be highly regulated and it should not be for profit.

Also sorta unrelated but not really, but I love bringing up that Corporations should not own single family housing.

Agreed. And start regulating and capping the prices of the needs like housing and healthcare

Got that one! Thank you!

I’m down to this and the target one. Thank you!!

Thank you I’m learning so much today!

It kinda looks like the same material. I’m at work and I’ll keep looking when I get off tonight and let you know what I end up going with

Lmaoo why do I have a hotel blanket
