Once you start adding RAM and storage, the price of the Apple explodes. There is zero expandability and options outside of what Apple provides. So you can easily build a better PC and still at a lower price point for higher end configs. So your argument is a fanboy argument and not based on reality.
They don't need more money. Mail volume is down 47% since 2000. Employees should be less than half, but its not even close. They keep employing people that are not needed and that don't do the job right. They constantly deliver the wrong mail and it happens all the time.
Except for the poor people (mostly illegal) who come here and leech off the system and have several kids to get more welfare money.
I know an agent that leases houses. One family had 6 kids and got the government to pay for a $6500 a month house here in California. Yes, taxpayers are paying for the family to leech $20k a month between rent/section 8 housing, medical insurance, welfare, and food stamps. Its a joke.
Lots of people are saying nonsense here. The actual reason commercial insurers pay more is that's the only way to can make more profits.
Because of Obamacare requiring 80% of the money they collect to be spent, the insurance companies just get to keep 20%. So insurance companies spend more so they can collect higher premiums. That's how they make more money.
Its not just children, its adults too. Because of the FOIA we have seen the studies these drug companies made disappear and this applies to probably every single antidepressants. Keep in mind the placebo effect happens in about 30% of people which are the people that think it works and then eventually stops working.
People waste their time and money with this garbage. I'm not saying its bad, but there's much better stuff out there. If you care about re-enamelization which everyone with bad to average teeth should, get some Prevident Rinse. Its prescription, its made by Colgate and it has a generic version also. There is also a prevident toothpaste.
Use the mouthwash once a week and you're good. If your dentist doesn't tell you about it and you don't have great teeth, its ONLY because they want to make more money off of you.
They don't need a house. They have shelters and its known many if not most choose not to use them. So its their own fault.
Its well known in Los Angeles where we keep burning taxpayer money and the government officials keep making their friends rich by building more shelters that aren't used. So its just a waste until we make it a crime for them to sleep on the street and loiter and harass people if there are shelters available. They just cause trouble and commit crimes, that's what they do best.
> If I were to discuss generic drug quality privately with other pharmacists, their first reaction would probably be that customers who complain about the effectiveness of generic drugs are kooks, or those customers are simply imagining a difference between generics and brand name drugs.
This explains it all.
I've been in the pharmacy business for years and can tell you pharmacists are uneducated about it. They're so uneducated they don't understand how foolish they are and will make fun of you for saying it doesn't work as well or they'll label you as an addict or crazy.
> Even a brand new sedan (e.g. Nissan Altima, Honda Accord) is around $23k MSRP. A crossover family vehicle (e.g. Nissan Rogue, Honda CR-V) is around $25k.
An accord/ultima start around that price for the base models and the lowest package. I doubt most people buy those models. People like options and get plenty of them.
Also keep in mind you pay a ton of tax and also registration. Registration is insanely expensive in states like CA.
The price of a low mercedes is much higher than that, not sure where you're getting your numbers, but they're off, WAY off.
Is the Mac Studio great? Yeah, for Apple users.
