  • Why do car repair shops always assume you can leave while they work on your car?
  • TeamAssimilation TeamAssimilation 3mo ago 100%

    I can only assume OP wants the shop to taxi them home. maybe back when the car is ready? Most fixes on the range of hundreds of dollars take several hours, or days depending on the availability of parts/tools.

    Shops fix cars, driving customers is an added value I wouldn't expect from most car shops. More so, if you committed to pay a few hundreds for a repair when it's ready, it's reasonable to assume you have enough money to go home on your own. A bicycle is always an option, though.

    His first book (Sapiens) does a great job of showing how frail is modern civilization, though. Its foundation is, like religion, only beliefs.

    IIRC Sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans coexisted for some time, so it could be not about things that aren't human, but humans that are different. To this day, xenophobia and ethnocentrism are common attitudes.

    Our current government is guilty of letting 300,000 (officially, 800,000 unofficially) people die because it minimized COVID and refused to implement any significant measures besides improvised hospital beds because its policy is saving money (to recklessly waste elsewhere).

  • Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.

    Because medicine shouldn't become a flea market where you're gambling your health against profit maximization.

    Give pharmaceutical companies a fair price scale where they can profit, don't let them hyperinflate prices without justification.

    It's not the same if Apple prices their phones at 20,000 USD and you decide you're buying other brand, pharma plays these extortion games after they have captured enough market/regulation so most people have to pay or stay sick.
