30 Things Which Are In Fact Big Scams, Yet Most People Don’t Realize It, As Shared By Members Of This Online Group

Yeah and it should cover it given how imperative dental well-being is.

It also puts the employees in the position where they're at the mercy of disrespectful and cruel customers, and sadly, that might be the point.

Not up to speed on other religions' history, but the way the Catholic church sold tickets to heaven in medieval days, just wow

Wait till you learn about funerals

Exactly and our government wants to increase the retirement age to 70. I don't know anyone at the age of 70+ that is fit and healthy enough to work. Especially in the building industry. We get a few years fun until we start school and then we spend most of our lives as government drones.

Always ends with the masses supporting the leaders extravagant lifestyles while they dodge taxes and commit crimes.

Even if it worked, it would be only a trickle.

Trickle down economics was a joke and the person that made it cannot believe Reagan took it seriously

Pouring upwards economy

All money flows upward until it reaches those who don't need to spend it.

This is actually how most zoos are run. All of the food is always given to the largest animal in the exhibit. When that animal has enough food it will give that food away to the other animals. Works perfectly! Unrelated, the biggest animal is also allowed to store as much food as it wants in offshore facilities and secretly in Switzerland.

all economic systems are trickle-down systems... For all its boasting about egalitarian sharing the wealth, the Soviet Union definitely still had its upper classes who lived in the best apartments & had the best jobs... You had to be a party member & well-connected to party/government elites, so this was not a large percentage of the population. The swanky WW1 era apartments & houses did not go empty for long after the revolution. The same situation exists in socialist Venezuela & Cuba, don't kid yourself.

It might trickle down, but it blasts up. Basic logic. Give $1 to 100 non-rich people & it will all get spent & put back in the economy & taxed several times through several hands. Give $100 to 1 person & it will get sent to an overseas tax shelter.

Thank Ronald Reagan for this fallacy. Republicans suck.

Let's have trickle up!

"trick"

Diamonds are overrated.

Also free trials should not require payment details to automatically subscribe after the trial period expires

The companies pay lower and lower wages, people earn less, they cannot afford basic things, capitalism which is based on people buying stuff they do not even need, collapses.

Just mark it as spam

But, but, but the market will sort it out......

YES! Education should be free, as it's in everyone's right to study and learn

If age gave you wisdom, old people wouldn't almost exclusively read the Daily Mail.

this person's great grandfather is a saint : )

It's only getting worse. I was gonna buy a lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes yesterday but was gonna cost me approx $12. Which is insane.

Thanks to computers and automation we are more efficient than ever. And yet we work as many hours as our grandparents were. How is that aceptable?

I think you mean capitalism in general

They care about their profit only

"Covenience"

Worked at a vision center a long time ago. Those $250 frames you just bought? Cost the company less than $10.

In some places tap water is not drinkable.

I watched John Oliver (gem) talk about this. It's really crazy. Like I've said before everywhere you look it's f*ck people, give me more and more money.

It's often a substitute for direct discrimination. Since disadvantaged groups are less likely to have degrees, if you want to discriminate without breaking the law, a degree requirement makes it easier.

It should be automatic by default with the option to do the whole headache for those who want it.

We bought a lot second hand, and resold after they've grown out of stuff. At the moment were part of a "hand me down chain" 🤣 It saves money and a lot of waste

Advertising in general always seems to sneak its way into ad-free formats. Cable TV was like network TV except no ads....until they added ads. Youtube was finally like TV except no ads...until they added ads. Then you can always block the ads and just watch the video...until their paid promotional segments.

Also for instance here where I live in Florida the recycling center used to accept glass and then quit. I spoke with an attendant and they said the state quit taking it because there wasn't enough profit. That's not the point!

About a month after I bought plane tickets I got a message that they had to change my flights. My new return flight was a day later. I asked if they could change it back to the day prior as planned - these tickets were a good 9 months in advance so I know they had seats. They told me yea, they could change back - and the difference in ticket price is $750 please. I argued for a day and finally heard back sorry that was a mistake, it’s only $375 more. I said no - and they finally agreed to change my flight back to the original day free of (additional) charge.
