GOP steps into the chat.

1 in 4 bankruptcies are military due to medical cost. We only support troops with thoughts and prayers

US jobs need to pay better for the chance of sickness and bankruptcy you'll face

You can afford insurance and still go bankrupt.

"Medical expenses directly cause 66.5% of bankruptcies, making it the leading cause for bankruptcy. Additionally, medical problems that lead to work loss cause 44% of bankruptcies"

Blue state cab be better..

But these stats are concerning. More herehttps://www.retireguide.com/retirement-planning/risks/medical-bankruptcy-statistics/#:~:text=Medical%20expenses%20directly%20cause%2066.5,loss%20cause%2044%25%20of%20bankruptcies.

"Research has found that bitcoin miners alone consume approximately between 60 to 125 TWh of energy annually, which is equivalent to around 0.6% of global electricity"

"Traditional banks' total annual energy consumption of traditional banks is around 26 TWh on running servers, 26 TWh on ATMs, and 87 TWh from an estimate of 600k+ branches worldwide. Totaling 139 TWh."

Not to mention banks impact on people's lives. Limited purchasing power of the poor and soon to join them middle class.. to purchase disposable products

Yeah. 600k Branches, 1 million atms, data centers..

Vs. Banks. That have offices, branches, atms, data centers... banking does use more energy yearly. So why not both invest in renewables

Lets talk about the bank branchs, data centers, and energy consumption vs crypto.

I'm all for less power usage .. but seems like a witch hunt compared to what banking gets away w. It's the the first time banks can point the finger at someone other then themselves.

I don't think that's what the article is talking about. The cart and hand scanner are different.

Texas "We don't need federal government tellin us what to do" Texas "We're rugged and independent, we got our own grid do screw off" Texas "Feds are inept and useless. Well do it on own own"

Also Texas "Feds! Halp us w our borders that we can't fix!! Heeelllp!"

Translation. "I ate, world hunger solved".

I have Andriod and my wife's got iPhone. IMessages don't deliver.. or deliver hours later. Images don't make it.. or make it xna they are potato.

Uh. It's not that. Along w that is videos w potato quality, messages that never make it. Of course anyone reading your comment knows you missed the point.

I messed up my hip once.. couldn't get it right .. super painful. Chiropractor did it up and was ok from then on. Who knows!

Lol. That wild tootin Pootin.

When a menial worker complains their menial job doesn't pay enough. Boomers sing "that's not a real job" then expect those same people to have kids to support their greed.

Great point.

Boomers won't let go. I worked at a company that used to have upward movement when people retire. Then the boomers just stopped retiring, I left as no where to go. They now have executives 80 years old plus. Boomers got theirs and are so self involved they won't stop.
