Everything is about money and avoiding responsibility. I was watching a show about insurance companies and how they do everything they can to not pay out. A successful business model is to throw out as many claims as possible.

Banks try everything they can to charge rediculous service fees. If you go over your account limit you have to pay huge NSF funds like $20-$30 even if you went over by a penny.

If you pay a cheque to a company and the cheque is declined they try to bill you insane amounts of money for late payment.

Hospitals are a disgrace

This whole society makes me sick. It's disgusting to see how bad things are. What can I do about it? Nothing but post a fscking message here. It's not like I can just close all my bank accounts and not pay insurance, etc...

uggggh...

welcome to life, its a bitch!

Society has been crumbling and will continue to fall. All your worries seem to be about money though. We live in a capitolist society. Money is the thing that motivates everyone.

It's always been this way; it's just that you are now noticing.
You can become a curmudgeon or move on.

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and you?re okay.
Money, it?s a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I?ll buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
I?m all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it?s a hit.
Don?t give me that do goody good bullshit.
I?m in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet.

Money, it?s a crime.
Share it fairly but don?t take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it?s no surprise that they?re
Giving none away.

Huhuh! I was in the right!
Yes, absolutely in the right!
I certainly was in the right!
You was definitely in the right. that geezer was cruising for a
Bruising!
Yeah!
Why does anyone do anything?
I don?t know, I was really drunk at the time!
I was just telling him, he couldn?t get into number 2. he was asking
Why he wasn?t coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
Screaming and telling him why he wasn?t coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out

Dont forget the people who defraud the insurance companies and banks. The reason they charge so much is so you might think about it next time you try to cash a check when you have no monies. :)

I broke my arm this winter on some icey steps. I didn't say one word to anyone. My insurance company gave me a call about 2 months after looking to sue the landlord to recover the costs. I told them nothing and they went away without a case. :D:beer:

Too much greed in this world... do your part to not be a part of it.
