#SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS

[shattered-earth]

Some of my favorite in tape designs!!!!!! (That I designed.. lol)

They are all "stamp" type tape, i even paid the factory extra to get custom molds for these because I love the differing lengths and shapes of real stamps as well as amore delicate line of circles vs the default molds with huge circles.

There was a little drama at some point because the factory was letting people use my mold that I paid for but I cleared it up @_@;;

Anyway I don't go to cons anymore so I will probably have to stop selling washi tape cause they don't do so hot online especially for the price we have to sell them at to make it worth it for these complex designs + foil etc. No regretti tho, to see them in person is worth it.

All my washi tape (there's more than this too lol) are buy 4 get 1 free~

The thing with one single BRL being worth around 5 USD is that it's not really that much in this scale, right? I mean, yeah it sucks a bit that I can't subscribe to this cool organization website with my teenager money because their Only 9.99$ is actually 50 brazilian R$ so it's a bit out of league for me. But then the real problem is that I can't even donate 20 "bucks" to anyone. Do you know how much that's worth in Brasil?

R$ 400.

And it's even worse for other neighbourhooring countries, like Argentina, where $1 is like more than 900 pesos. Like dude

the billing and money department at my school: let's email dayna a week before school telling her she needs to pay the fees of attending before she can start the semester.....how much?? ..... $772

Seven hundred thousand dollars. Read that again: seven hundred thousand dollars.

Seven hundred THOUSAND dollars and some foreign citizenship was enough to make this asshole sell out his own country.

ThriftBooks, I have a question for you: you have "thrift" in the name, so what makes you think your freebie swag of one hundred dollars off a one hundred and sixty dollar case of fancy wine is useful to the majority demographic buying your books?

I am still astonished at just how many people are instantly taking the fae deal of "a thousand dollars" and bragging about how they will use a straw to solve the "glass" problem, without considering that the trap is in the currency.

This is something I learned at one of the pre-op visits for my breast reduction! My surgeon was basically I think an independent surgeon (as I guess I would imagine is common for “cosmetic”/plastic surgeons?) and she was telling us a little bit about what to do for talking to insurance about the surgery and stuff, and she mentioned that for us going through insurance it would be at a particular hospital, but she also often did surgeries where people didn’t use there insurance, and she did those at some other place, and the price she charged up front was much lower, because that was the actual cost of the surgery (and equipment and everyone’s salaries etc.) and she had to raise the ticket price significantly when people would go through insurance, because the insurance company would negotiate that price down, and then keep some of the money. (Obviously for us and many others it still worked out to be cheaper for us out of pocket to go through insurance, but the amount she made was roughly the same even though it would look like she charged thousands more for my breast reduction than for someone not using insurance)

So, when you get those bills from your insurance after a doctors visit, and there’s that little table that tells you, this is the cost of the visit, this is the discount we got you, this is how much we paid, this is how much you still have to pay?

That line about “we got you this discount” is misleading. They actually caused the provider to raise the initial cost of your care by that amount, or more, in anticipation of the insurance company refusing to pay the full amount so that they could tell you they got you a discount.

"Why does a 15-minute visit with a doctor cost 150 bucks in America???" you're gonna want to read Money-Driven Medicine, by Maggie Mahar, and probably also The Social Transformation of American Medicine, to answer that question. It is not because your doctor is a greedy bastard; your doctor does not see most of that money. It is because the system is broken to a level that is truly impressive in its dedication to making a shit ton of money for insurance company executives and shareholders.
