You all can group up and change things. That does mean living a very different life than what you probably planned, but maybe one with more meaning than social media and video games.
The American safety net is in israel right now. These guys just don’t fucking care about us. We are strategic human capital and we don’t matter. And these people claim they’re ‘godly’ . Imagine if they were satanist
The old work until you croak. The US healthcare, income distribution and labor laws all suck shit.
This sums up capitalism, i.e. for-profit institution in general.
The Republican plan for us all.
It was international news when China proposed raising it’s maximum retirement age to 63.
I was told that this proved only Capitalism could guarantee a good retirement.
I call BS. He’s a Boomer. He must be wealthy. /S

still not enough
No vitals for 10 minutes doesn’t make sense
-
Anyone without vitals for 10 minutes would he dead
-
They should have still had vitals with a heart attack
He’s lucky. Cause faking not not having vitals to get out of work is an instant write up and automatic termination.
Stories like this have a habit of expanding as they’re told.
That said, I had a coworker in his 50s who continued to work after having a near life ending cardiac event. He was the company CTO but couldn’t afford to retire because he couldn’t afford private insurance.
Died last year, after having a follow up event and spending his last few months in hospital.
If CPR is keeping your blood flowing for 10 mins then you don’t have vitals. CPR stops when your vitals comes back or when they pronounce you are dead-dead.
That’s not the case.
- people round numbers. In a casual setting 8 minutes and 10 minutes are the same.
- 10 minutes without detectable vital signs is survivable, albeit extremely serious.
- If you have sudden cardiac arrest and get CPR from a random bystander you have a 20% chance of surviving to leave the hospital. The sooner a defibrillator can restart the heart the better.
- I’m not sure why you say they should have still had vitals with a heart attack. Most heart attacks don’t leave you with none, but it’s not all by any means. Lack of blood flow to the heart can easily cause it to stop beating.
Ultimately though, the part that matters is that the part you found implausible was the medical details, not that someone would go back to work shortly after a severe emergency while still concerned about their own sudden death because they can’t afford to recover.
The sooner a defibrillator can restart the heart the better.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defibrillation
Defibrillators don’t restart the heart, that’s a common misconception. They effectively shock-reset it so that it can resume its normal beating rhythm.
You are correct, it was a lazy-ish shortcut on my part.
The sooner a defibrillator can be used to induce the hearts electrical rhythm to resume ordered behavior and allow meaningful contractions to pump blood, the better.Even more succinctly: YELL 911 AED CPR GOGOGO
The AED can only reset electric rythyms. Not every source of not having a pulse is due to chaotic electrical rhythm, not every electrical issue has a lack of pulse. “Stopped” and “restart” are ambiguous. I would generally forgive the usage of “not working” and “make start working” from anyone less trained than an EMT.
YELL 911 AED CPR GOGOGO
- Checks for hazards before approaching
- “Hey, hey! Are you ok‽”
- Checks pulse, for no longer than 10 seconds
- “Activate the emergency response system!”
- One. Two. Three. Four…

This is just slavery. Fuck the USA. What a nightmare to live in
It’s spreading all over the world, I hope the rest are able to stop it
Doubt that, the rest will adapt or submit. Slowly but steadily.
Yay Capitalism! /s
Slaves aren’t armed to the teeth. Stop letting these people pretend cowardice is helplessness.
I dunno what a gun would solve here for anyone? Shoot “the state”?
Charlie Kirk got pretty well “solved”
Couldn’t care less for this douche, but…what did that bullet solve? one less bootlicker, but system stays the same.
Every Charlie Kirk moves the needle.
Every piece of MAGA trash needs to think twice about opening their mouth or stepping out in public.
True. But those who own you, you cannot just shoot as you will never ever even get in their rough vicinity. And those matter, not the legions of dumb kirks.
You’re a fucking coward.
“I care deeply as long as I don’t have to risk or sacrifice anything.” Fuck off. Blocked.
That’s disgusting.
Kirk was a racist asshole and we don’t need to feel bad for him to say it was shitty of you to post this.
Cool. Enjoy allowing your high profile Nazis to continue to feel safe in public. You’re not part of the problem at all.
Is there some way to get you to a mental health professional, because you have post after post calling for violence against people.
Only one thing ever stopped Nazis
But keep patting yourself on the back, you absolute coward.
Long- and short-term disability need regulation. Companies cut funding to their own employees at times when it hurts the most while also throwing them to the health insurance vultures.
It sends the message fuck you, find your own way or die.
Why are private companies even in the loop? Where I live, the government pays disability.
It does in the US too. I’m not sure what the previous commenter is talking about with companies cutting off funds. No company I’ve ever worked for paid workers for disability time. They throw you over to the government for that at the first opportunity, though they may be involved to the extent of validating yes this person works here, etc.
The issue in the OP is the amount paid, if we actually read it. Of course all the comments are just going in the usual directions of “fuck capitalism / corporations / the USA” and sadly nothings going to change that.
I believe they are talking about company-sponsored short term and long term disability, STD and LTD. LTD commonly covers a percentage of your wages… my companies provides 60% with an upper limit.
Government provided disability you have to qualify for and requires an application process. It doesn’t provide much money either, which is why companies often have LTD benefit plans a person can enroll in.
Murica, the ultra rich making anything related to the welfare of others “communism”
Basically 100 years of social engineering to convince 50% of the country that any that benefits them is evil and wrong
The funny part is that the second you actually need disability coverage, the companies are all too happy to throw you over to the government for that as fast as they can.
I would love to get embroiled in some masturbation at work scandal to push them Republican husky fucks off the deep end to rotundo their vision of full-fupa-fap-fest,or as we call it over Anon Hill 34, 4foipstukke (biowoman alt tag: 4 foidstukke), but no seriously, I am with those sad hoshi fuckers from bunker 9 and I do ass to mouth for tree fiddy an ounce. Is this as translator do be is an are isn’t or isn’t of stern to sternum. That’s about as close as the CIA will let happen for an HR dispute at the hookey tongue flange n arms a cookinator that is def not a sting operation, y’know? Do you have subdermal or otherwise subnormal detriterionics known to the state of California? We’re just real close here, being in Arizona, which is a legal state as of this transmission disguised as a broadcast disguised as a waste of space on the internet. I don’t need to come into the office for this. You can just pay me. Or I’ll come into the office as bare as I lay on my testicles in the very present, to mean as of right now but they jiggle weird damn. Fukken balrog in this bitch, knows the twelve steps of Jezzebline and the fourteen stages of the cross. We triple holy out here, mmk?
I ain’t seen no hot dog from the sun that look like you.
Rather be a mustard cup full of hot sauce than an over ripe banana.
Don’t overdo it, dude. You’re trying too hard. Just slide into the dipsy doodle, ferretface.
You don’t ask for favors when your life is through
You’ve got a right to what’s coming to you
Your boss gets a pension when he is too old
You helped him retire, you’re out in the cold
Too old to work, too old to work
When you’re too old to work and you’re too young to die
Who will take care of you, how’ll you get by
Whеn you’re too old to work and you’re too young to die?
cracking tune
i’ll be playing that one at the folk club
cheers!
I don’t know where the guy in the post is from. When I started a job with disability benefits (not sure if they were from the company or the state), they emphasized that we needed to look at the tax / take-home implications for if we were ever on disability.
If we had our disability insurance payment taken out of our paycheck before taxes were paid from our paycheck, then we would also owe taxes on any payments we got while we were on disability. If we paid taxes first and then paid for our disability insurance, then any payments would be tax-free.
Thing was, after taxes and deductions from our regular paycheck, we only got about 80% of the money we’d earned. And disability paid 80% of our regular paycheck. So if you paid for disability after paying taxes, you would still have about the same amount of income (though being disabled would bring in a bunch of new expenses). But if you paid for disability before paying taxes, then disability would pay 80% of your regular paycheck, and then it would be taxed - meaning you’d only be getting about 65% of your usual income.
I know it’s not like that everywhere, and many places don’t even have disability anymore. But if you’re getting disability insurance deducted from your paycheck, it’s worth checking the tax/income implications if you ever need to claim it.
Let’s not complicate our two-minutes hate against the US with details. We’re all slaves here, don’t you know? Oops excuse me I have to go a billionaire is here to fuck ne in the ass with a rake.
