[09:04] IsambardPrince [09:04] IsambardPrince I was sort of boredom searching what an ex was up to the other day (bad habit, I know). I haven't seen this person in over 20 years so I don't know why the itch suddenly happened. A quick search through the public records showed that he had a stream of petty criminal records in Indiana, sued by Ball State University for unpaid ttuition, followed by a felony in Illinois (drugs). [09:04] IsambardPrince [09:04] IsambardPrince Despite this, he had a LinkedIn page. As with other, well, unreliable people, he seems to have no trouble finding jobs (only the reliable people do), but he has a big problem keeping them, at least until recently. Probably because once you rack up a felony, things are pretty much over as far as employment unless you're like a mechanic or do road construction. [09:04] IsambardPrince [09:04] IsambardPrince I noticed he listed some app on his LinkedIn where people drive around and take pictures of buildings. The app is for iPhone and Android, and reviews of the company are mostly from people who are either unhappy that they didn't actually get paid the roughly $5-30 they were promised, or property owners that were furious that they had someone on their property that was sent to take pictures, and they don't know why, and most of the [09:04] IsambardPrince people who are on this app to trespass on their property are pretty run down and rude, and many won't say who they're with. [09:04] IsambardPrince [09:05] IsambardPrince The fact that people will drive across town to take usually $5-10 to grab pictures of a building in an allegedly "robust economy" aside, some other things worry me. Like, who is it that wants these pictures? And, what happens if you go onto someone's property and they're armed and some sort of nut? Many states, like Indiana (where he lives), are "open carry" and "stand your ground", which to me suggests an extreme risk if you're [09:05] IsambardPrince trespassing, and whoever sends you out to get these pictures is doing it because they either can't be bothered, don't want to get arrested, or don't want to risk being harmed by the property owner. [09:05] IsambardPrince [09:05] IsambardPrince Ten years ago, Indiana at least made you get a firearms permit from the local sheriff, who was supposed to check to see if you were a convicted felon or a domestic abuser with a restraining order first, now they don't even bother to do that much.

(Re)Invest in America and sell AMERICAN-MADE stuff to Americans or you face heavy tariffs and congressional action...end of story. [09:15] schestowitz[TR2] Now, this doesn't mean that companies like Apple will be forced to abandon their foreign factories...far from it. But it does mean that from here on out, every labor arbitrage decision will have a political pricetag attached to it. Do you build iPhones in China or wherever, accept the import tariffs and subject yourself to potential congressional action? Or do you make life simpler for yourself by building in the US? [09:15] schestowitz[TR2] This is a decision that car companies face every day. Stellantis (Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM) under Carlos Tavares (and Joe Biden) was steering the company to a model of mostly foreign-built EVs imported and sold to Americans at huge markups. Trump got elected, and Tavares was forced out soon after. Now there are moves afoot to break off CJDR and once again put them under US ownership.

[21:46] IsambardPrince I can't imagine the customer service on the new one will be much worse. [21:46] IsambardPrince Before Obamacare, it was the wild west. [21:46] IsambardPrince People tended to have either coverage that paid for everything or not much at all. [21:47] IsambardPrince And after Obamacare, it sort of reverted to somewhere in the middle. [21:47] IsambardPrince A lot of it is malicious compliance, right? [21:47] schestowitz[TR2] IsambardPrince: https://techrights.org/n/2024/06/03/Evri_Killed_Customer_Support_in_Favour_of_a_100_Useless_Chatbot.shtml [21:47] IsambardPrince Because a friend of mom's at church has health insurance, but can't actually use it for HIV.

[21:48] schestowitz[TR2] they will just lose clients [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] and realise it too late [21:48] IsambardPrince And no doctor really wants to use those. [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] and get back to real support [21:48] schestowitz[TR2] only after losing a lot of income [21:48] IsambardPrince So poor people might get some HIV drugs, for example, but they'll be the really old ones that are harder on the body. [21:48] IsambardPrince Then they get more health problems. [21:49] IsambardPrince The insurance company saves a few thousand a month, which is all they care about. [21:49] IsambardPrince Then later your kidneys, liver, and bones are wrecked. [21:49] IsambardPrince Every day you can't stand to eat food, every night you have nightmares. [21:49] IsambardPrince And it's from those drugs that cost them $20. [21:49] IsambardPrince So Obamacare has done this, in general. [21:50] IsambardPrince Everyone gets something, but that something is not the gold standard. [21:50] IsambardPrince They quantity limit generic valtrex to 30 per fill. [21:51] IsambardPrince There's no QL on generic zovirax though, as long as you don't mind taking it three times a day instead of once. [21:51] IsambardPrince My insurance covers generic valtrex and doesn't care if I get a 90 day fill. [21:51] IsambardPrince I pay about $4 for that. [21:51] IsambardPrince I have better insurance, but there's no way to extend it. [21:52] IsambardPrince To cover my spouse. [21:53] IsambardPrince So there's something like 900 million people in the world living with HSV either 1 or 2, and I have type 1. I get cold sores several times a year on my mouth and it's really embarrassing. [21:53] IsambardPrince So I take medicine to suppress it, every day I take one pill and it doesn't come back. [21:53] IsambardPrince But that's how a lot of conditions are. [21:53] IsambardPrince You take a pill, it's not a problem, you stop taking that pill, problem comes back. [21:54] IsambardPrince They don't cure anything. There's no money in that. [21:54] IsambardPrince For years, there was no way to treat this conveniently that was affordable. [21:54] TR News December (with no) computing gopher://sdf.org:70/0/users/jirka/Phlog/2024_12_01.txt [21:55] IsambardPrince So I more or less had to wait for an outbreak to start, contact the pharmacy, burn one of my fills of generic zovirax, and take it three times a day until the flare up was gone.
