Broseph_Stalin posted... https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/Y006RC1Q027SBEA?mod=article_inline That doesn't account for inflation: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/Y006RL1A225NBEA No shit "more" money is spent on R&D when billions are worth less. Also, again, corporations are flush with cash, it's no surprise R&D would get some of that. Broseph_Stalin posted... ...exactly? HC cost have risen well above inflation rates and employers are the ones covering most of that cost to keep their workers covered. No one is saying HC cost aren't cutting into wages, but that's not your employers fault. Yes it is. Employers push to keep the current system because it gives them power over employees, employees that could leave if they weren't afraid of losing health care coverage. It's also cheaper for companies that actual wage increases. Broseph_Stalin posted... No one gets insurance to regularly use it... it's insurance. The fact that you are covered for catastrophic care that you wouldn't otherwise be able to afford isn't a small thing. Which means it's less valuable for me. Thanks for confirming my point. It would be a lot cheaper if the government covered it, like every other first-world country. It's a shitty "benefit" created and maintained by the rich. It is no substitute for increased wages. You're making a really stupid point here. --- https://imgur.com/a/FU9H8 https://imgur.com/ZkQRDsR - https://imgur.com/2x2gtgP <cite>1337toothbrush posted [p:928820615] in billionair...
