They can stay afloat by having young healthy people pay into the system and for the most part don't have to rely on health services too much. Now that you are older you should feel entitled to services when you need them, even if you switched insurance numerous times. They are the ones who designed insurance to often be coupled with employment, so they can go fuck themselves. Insurance is a useless leeching middle man when it comes to healthcare. Most civilized countries have the government set the price of every health service, and some go a step further and offer everything for free. Yes, it's socialism in this case, but so fucking what? Not everything needs to turn a profit for the benefit of rich assholes who leech off the suffering of the less fortunate. 1 4 Quote

Unfortunately, that's not doable when working as a janitor. Those 75 or 80 pound trash bags are quite often drippy and slimy. Holding them close wrecks the uniform and could cause fungal infection. I held the bags with arms extended. Quote

Also, bags of trash don't weigh 70 to 80 pounds, it just feels like that when you're a weakling. 1 2 Quote
1pooh4u Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Just another thought. How do you guys expect to have a serious conversation with someone shilling for the insurance companies. Literally worrying about how they could possibly stay afloat on a measly $400 a month premium if they have to pay huge costs before he croaks and then shows a screenshot of AI telling him their operating costs were 5 point whatever billion but they took in over 100 billion in the same exact post. 1 1 Quote

If you're lifting that much weight, you're not holding it at arms length. Regardless, you got spinal stenosis because you failed at being a janitor and you used your failure to squeeze money out of the corporation that kept your useless ass on its payroll for a really long time. 1 Quote

These are commercial grade bags, not available in retail stores. My lifting? I made you aware before that I was able to lift a fifty pound dumbell over my head with one arm and even posted a video of it. As for casino trash, yes it was part of my argument. I told management repeatedly to switch from glass to aluminum cans. They ignored me. That's negligence as far as workplace safety is concerned. Edited January 9 by smiradenius Quote

You couldn't seriously expect every supplier your hotel used to change their business model because you're too stupid to know how to properly lift a load. I suppose that makes them negligent for hiring someone too dumb for even the most unskilled of tasks. Nah, they knew all along that you were expendable and that it was way cheaper to pay you off.

Alright, smartass... how do you lift with your legs when the bag has to be lifted over the rim of a four foot tall trash can and placed in the rolling dumpster, also four feet tall? Remember, the bottom of the four foot long bag has to clear the rims. You lift with your legs when the load starts on the floor. Quote
