Fun fact: for my family’s insurance, it is $106/mo to pay for dental. I get access to two cleanings a year, plus 50% of billed expenses up to $1000. What is even the point?
The point was to take us riiiiiiiiiight up to the point where there is not point but not cross it explicitly.
Where we go from here is probably downward spiral because the corporate world maxed out profits during Covid and now somehow has to still show quarterly improvements.
The end road is the long term debt cycle breaks and our economic system is once again reshuffled. The unfortunate part of that is it happens roughly every 75-100 years and typically involves a major global conflict and multi-decade depression. Buckle up buckaroos!
This holds true in Sweden too. If I fell off a cliff and broke all my bones, my hospital and recovery expenses would be super low. If I broke all my teeth I’d be ruined financially forever, or more realistically, I wouldn’t have any teeth and one hell of a bill for setting my gums straight.
Remember: bones are luxury teeth.

There is no end to the ass fuckings in sight.
I wish this wasn’t true but is…

Sort of like cyclical volcanic eruptions! And the longer the pressure builds, the more intense the eventual eruption.

Laughs in Finland (public healthcare includes dental stuff)
Remembers the fascist coalition government with Nazi ministers
Sad noises
Ah but you see here in Sweden we have both a fascist nazi coalition and expensive-as-hell dental care! Aren’t you jealous? 🥲
It’s just a bad savings account at that point.
