I think Danny needs to write a whole episode about KFC, just to make Simon read all the horrible things about it - and still talk about how much he loves KFC.
I haven't been to a Starbucks for half a decade. I ordered a drink and waited for fifteen minutes as multiple people ordered and received their drinks. They had forgotten to put my order's sticker on the cup and the barista was naturally unaware of my order. The manager saw me standing there and asked what I needed. I said I had ordered a drink and what it was. Seeing I had brown skin she assumed I was either unable to speak English or stupid. She began to very slowly explain the ordering process to me including exaggerated hand gestures. I said I understood the process in my Midwestern accent. The woman at the register saw this and found my order sticker and apologized. The manager only then seemed to realize that I was a paying customer that did not have significant brain damage. She then tried to give me a membership card with five dollars on it which was two dollars less than the mocha I had ordered. It is still sitting at the bottom of a drawer somewhere never to see the light of day again.
@@wesleymorris6862 some guy cut me off in a Mercedes 25 years ago, he was probably racist. I now hate Germany. Root against them at every Olympics, bombed a couple embassies… the usual
@@wesleymorris6862 Yeah but it's not a good company, it's extremely exploitative and the coffee is very low grade, roasted very dark and overpriced. I pay 70 cents per espresso and only drink the highest grade beans that can cost 10X what Starbucks has. It's an utter rip off. And if I want a milkshake instead of a coffee, I have a blender, no need to spend 10 bucks. Starbucks is a plague.
Corporate company staff are a reflection of the upper management's mentality. And to them their customers are just a sales statistic, they were hoping you were a simple minded Sheeple (a potential customer). Take your money to the small business coffee shop
I remember riding my horse through the Mc Donald’s drive through. One thing I learned fairly fast is that although very easy to order and pay it’s hard to carry a cola and bag with my Big Mac meal in it. I’ve also rode my atv in the same drive through. Just in case someone is wondering how I could get to this Mc Donald’s drive through was because it was right on the outskirts of the city and we used the multi use trail that made from the old railroad tracks that used to run. Our ranch was only 5km from the McDonald’s if we went up the back way although it take some convincing to get my horse to swim across the river until they changed it so we could just walk across on a wicked cool bridge.
Regarding the McDonalds claim, being 79, she's automatically covered by Medicare - so that's why her out-of-pocket total would be a lot less than normally expected.
@Brittany Woodman - Today I _just_ found out: 'Dido' means spur of the moment silly act. Where as 'Ditto' means me too. So, to you Brittany I say, " Ditto to your dido." 😂😂
Simon doesn't believe how expensive medicine is in the US? *He should do a Business Blaze about just how shitty the American healthcare system is* (allegedly) Hospitals/clinics can charge whatever they want for any service with no consistency between patients (or even the same patient) and until this year, didn't even have to tell patients what their services cost. In fact, they even _overcharge_ patients without insurance because insurance companies have lawyers that will argue the prices down. And that's just the tip of the iceberg...
This is why the Dumb's health advisor is trying to get a law through that would force them to publish their price lists. The establishment is fighting her every step of the way.
@Tulkas Astaldo You do realize CANADA has reasonable healthcare. They're not euthanizing people here. Maybe...just maybe...you've been listening to total bullshit that even a 5 year old could see through?
@Tulkas Astaldo Canadian brain surgery survivor here. 9 days. That was the total extent of my 'wait' from original diagnosis to full frontal craniotomy. And I was out of the hospital 4 days after that. You know how they found it, my eye doctor (Sep 23, 2003) - who referred my to an ophthalmologist (Sep 30) - who sent me immediately to a hospital for a CT Scan (Sep 30) where I was admitted immediately, had an MRI the next morning (Oct 1) and was scheduled for surgery (Oct 9). The only reason there was a wait was for some additional testing, including a contrast MRI and bloodwork for verify anesthetic safety (my father had a reaction so they needed to see if I would be OK) was needed to facilitate the surgery. Total cost to me directly = $0 (yes, I know I pay taxes, but less than you do for insurance). That same surgery, in Washington State, would have cost me (or my healthcare provider) over $200 000 and required a minimum 23 day hospital stay. My wife shattered her kneecap, x-ray that afternoon, surgery the next day, several months of physio = $0. I could go on with several other examples that counter the bullshit US healthcare providers spew to support their prices gouging but I won't.
As a note. The quoted pricing for the surgery in WA was from 2003. That same surgery today would be over $650k, with really no change in how it would be done.
Simon: Lives in the middle of nowhere, 20 minutes from the nearest fast food. Me: Clearly he has not been to Australia. 10 hours drive from the nearest fast food almost qualifies as the "middle of nowhere" here.
Seriously. I grew up in Northern Alberta in Canada (kinda remote but not even what I would call middle of nowhere). It kills me hearing someone from the UK use that term because the nearest McDonalds was twenty minutes away.

May I just tell you, Simon, that I occasionally suffer from bouts of depression. I had a bad one last weekend and instead of hiding from the world, like I usually do, I decided to find some funny videos to pick up my mood. So, I've been spending hours watching your videos everyday since Saturday and I'm genuinely doing much better. Thanks for lifting my mood and showing me that some people actually think like me!

!!! Or have insurance your county welfare job gives your family yet they shirk any simple procedures unless you are almost dead. This is because the money is stretched and the services stretched in California because they over endorse the newcomer foreigner over those who were born here. There isnt a pick preference....it's simply stretched too think because too many foreigners are pushing into California and using it's resources. SO much so to where the system itself cannot heal the legs of those who DO work hard and haven't just moved here with a list of health problems to be milked by our insurance companies and manipulated. ~~~~We need one giant audit between the banks vs. the insurance companies to curb some of this epic money corporation over entitlement.

"I'm always finding fecal matter in my beard" This is insight into Simons personal life nobody wanted. Smashing dislike, unsubscribing, and cancelling. Allegedly.
These might be minor nit-picks, but here goes: 1) I don't think surf SurfShark is a substitute for any kind of cheese, squeezy or not. I also don't think squeeze cheez qualifies as food. I expect my chicken to be 100% chicken. I expect chicken nuggets and "patties" to have a fair degree of fillers and stabilizers. The reason that the plant matter was unidentifiable is the amount of other genetic material found in GMO plants. Due to my allergies, I have to eat organic to avoid the corn or tomatoes setting off my allergy to soy. $700 in emergency medical expenses on top of feeling like I'm dying for three days is not worth the very temporary "not as hungry" situation. 3) thank you for mentioning the third-degree coffee burns. The shame throwing is absurd, and juries can "recommend" a pay out, but the final amount is always up to the judge.
As someone who's both clumsy and has some medical problems I should point out I'm sure it is way more expensive in some countries but hospital bills aren't cheap in the US. Before insurance does their job of not covering as much as you expected, even getting a clogged ear flushed is $200, getting let's say 10 stitches for a cut is a bit over $2k at the ER. A few months ago I had a medical emergency that required an EKG, chest MRI, Overnight stay (non ICU), round the clock check ups and IV fluids and it was almost $40k.
for the whole medical horror story thing: Went to the ER, had to be taken there by a friend since i was having a migraine that had gotten so severe, i saw a kaleidoscope going through my vision, and was then blind for hours. They refused to give me anything for the pain/nausea, only hooked me up to a saline solution, and charged me almost 5000 dollars. all the while not even letting me lay on my side as i asked to, as it helped with my nausea.
@@brainblaze6526 YUUUP. my own mother is an RN here in the states, and she states how terrible our system is. it may be incorrect, but i got my viewpoints on how health insurance is a scam from her. basically, in a time before health insurance as we know it today, you would just pay a doctor cash upon receiving treatment. insurance was started merely as a way for people who had foresight to save a portion of their income and keep it in a special account to be used for medical purposes, only to be, pardon my french, bastardized along the way into the corrupt, government driven system we have here in the states. cheers!
@@Olenh This. The reason medical costs are so damn high in the US is because the insurance companies refuse to pay the full amount the doctors need to charge for care, which forces the doctors to raise their rates just to break even with the insurance companies, so when an uninsured person goes in for care, they're charged the inflated rates that the billing department is expecting to be negotiated down by an insurance broker.
Yeah it's nearly impossible to get any kind of narcotic pain relief in the u.s. now. Doctors and pharmaceutical companies handed then it like Chiclets for decades for everything which directly led to the opioid crisis. So now because they fucked up people in real intense pain have to suffer. I will say this though I also get crippling migraines and when I have to go to the er and I ask for Toradol. It's an NSAID they put it in my IVs but it can also be administered intramuscularly. Idk if that will help you in anyway but I hope so.
Tex the way it was spun sounded silly. But that happens all the time I suppose. What the mainstream media does after all. At the time I was friends with a Bunn rep/service technician and he said that EVERY time he went into a McDonalds to service the coffee machines, they had turned up the heat to flesh melting temperatures. He’d issue written warnings on the dangers of the machine being over 140 degrees, etc. reset the machine, leave, and they’d just ignore him and turned it back up. The stories of her driving around with coffee between her legs and such were outright lies, it was disgusting what that woman went through.
Dillon Brunschon I’ve spilled hot coffee on my lap before. It wasn’t pleasant. And it was burning low on workplace coffee pot. Besides tasting like acidic shit at such temperatures, even my burns didn’t require complete skin grafts. The temperature they served it at was beyond its boiling point and they spilled it on her. It’s negligence. Stop advocating for profiteering corporate whores who twisted tort reform so badly as to make victims the wrong doers. She asked for 20K. Her lawyers didn’t just do “such a good job.” They explained the facts. And McDonald’s corporate lawyers were so appallingly awful a jury of 12 people who didn’t know her gave her that, both as recompense, and as punishment to the corporation who went out of their way to victimize a woman who needed to visit a burn ward and undergo surgery to heal.
Also beverages aren’t food, and my Frappuccino has coffee in it and isn’t required to be served at 140 degrees. They have just regular iced coffee too. Stop talking out your ass
I worked at McDonald's as a teen. The manager told me that our "beef" patties contained 15% soy mash. Which he said was "standard." Note: 15% soy mash was also printed on the labels of the boxes of beef patties.
You _can_ freeze, thaw and refreeze meat. But as with anything, the results depend on the state of the product before it was frozen in the first place. And how it was tawed, to what temperatures, handling, and refreezing. If your product is fresh, from healthy origin, treated properly and deepfreezed, it's fine to taw that to 2-4°C for a few days. Or for cutting a big part into steaks in sanitary manners without saws, freeze a little, vaccuum bag individually then back in the deep freeze. If you've ever vacuum bagged and sous vide'd a fresh or already tawed steak or a larger cut of meat (especially a lean cut), you understand why freezing the steaks at least a little bit before vacuum bagging, is the preferred way to go (the squished "seams" you get around it if bagged freah/tawed, are not exactly conducive to aesthetic presentation). It's a common practice in many restaurants and industry kitchens for prepping steaks for sous vide later, if the local region cannot or does not easily supply fresh never-frozen meat to commercial / industry customers. Again, it depends a lot on the health of the goods originally, sanitary storage and handling, and methodology. Curiously, one big grill channel on YT doing serious steak snobbery for a living, took multiple steaks from one large piece, cut up, then froze tawed and refroze each steak a different amount of times (tawed to fridge temp ofc), then prepped them all sous vide. Conducting a blind test, they didn't clearly identity any steak from the rest until one had gone through 4 cycles or more. Poultry can be a different story though. Especially American chicken, which is in such damn bad state that most other Western (and any other sane) countries have a ban on import of out of legitimate public health and cross-contamination concerns. That stuff isn't even safe to bury underground, just in case it could contaminate the ground water. But hey. Nothing is completely useless. At least American chicken products serve a purpose as a warning, a lesson in what not to do. Ad a bad example of something made for consumption.
I once got a $20,000 bill for a 10 minute conversation with a thyroid specialist which mostly consisted of the sentence 'why are you here there's clearly nothing wrong with your thyroid.'
It's a wonderful collusion of government, insurance companies, and the healthcare industry to fuck us. So of course, the mooks all cry we need _more_ government to fix it.
@Dillon Brunschon don't get me wrong, I did not have to pay that much, when the insurance refused to cover it they knocked it down to $500, It is the way doctors and insurance works
@@stevenschnepp576 Your government may be bad, but in other countries governments have actually arranged things so that they benefit the ordinary folk. I for one am glad that where I live not everything is privatized and/or for profit, since it would be bad if it would be so. Every time when we've privatized something the prices go up, service gets worse and the whole thing ends up sucking really badly. There are things that are naturally more suited for capital markets and those that aren't. Most things are good to be in private hands, but some are not.

I got sterilized last year via removal of my fallopian tubes. It was a 15 minute outpatient procedure. The bill was almost $40,000. Thankfully, insurance covered it all. But what is the justification for slapping a $40k price tag on _that?_ I see no good reason why a procedure of that caliber shouldn't be cheap enough to afford out of pocket. I can understand a couple thousand. But _tens of thousands?_ Really, healthcare system?
My first job was at Taco Bell. I recall the “refried” beans were made by opening up two packets containing a mysterious powder, adding that to a giant pot of water and melting a block of lard. Heat, stir serve. Allegedly.
When i was a student we went through the drive through of McDonalds in shopping carts. 1 person sitting in the cart 1 person pushing the cart, 4 carts total. It worked like a charm.
The $20,000 bill was the cost insurance did not cover. She said she would of been happy if they paid just the medical bills. Surgeries and skin grafts cost way more than 20k. Had an endoscopic surgery to fix a bleed and it was almost 100k.
Medical care in the US is expensive. I was in the hospital for 8 days and had several test and other treatments that bill was over 350k. At the time my insurance covered all but 80k of it, that 80k is sitting in collections

Thank you for going over the Liebeck case, a.k.a the McDonalds hot coffee lawsuit. The case has been continuously ridiculed and misrepresented by the media. At the heart of the matter was an issue of product defectiveness. At trial, it was determined that the coffee was so hot that it actually met the legal definition of defectiveness. Thus, McDonalds was held liable in the same way as any other manufacturer of defective products would have been. if the coffee hadn't been served so hot, Stella Liebeck's injuries wouldn't have been so severe. Moreover, the judge applied the doctrine of comparative negligence and determined that Stella Liebeck was 20% responsible for her own injuries.
I was cooking dinner a little over a month ago, and like an idiot I burned the fuck out of my hand with boiling water that spilled all over it. I planned to just keep it elevated and use a cool compress. Partner got the first aid kit and hounded me til I went to the ER because the first aid kit advised to do exactly what I was doing expect to go to the ER if the burn was to the hands due to possible nerve damage. I went ok fair. My local hospital is pretty empty the ER had no one else there. I got to a room right away, sat there for 30 minutes in the room before the doctor came in looked at the hand and went "Yep first degree burn you're doing what you should do. Not gonna prescribe anything else just keep doing that. Wait for the nurse to come in for some exit paperwork." 30 minutes later (actually know that from time between texts to my partner keeping them in the loop) a nurse comes in goes "Oh are you all done the doctor never notified us." So I get checked out they do the release paper work and a bill comes in a week later. $500 bucks a bit over half handled by my insurance for a doctor to have me sit in a room for an hour half of which he forgot I was there, and to tell me yes you did what you should now get out of my hospital.

Sunday I tore my achilles tendon while working in the garden. I arrived at urgent care 3 minutes until close, so they refused to see me and referred me to the nearest hospital emergency room. Well I can't afford an emergency room bill so wouldn't go unless I was actually dying. I had to go home and wait until the clinic opened back up on Monday morning to get help. Its insanely painful but I just couldn't afford to pay thousands of dollars to get relief earlier. (and I do have health insurance. ERs can still cost thousands, even with insurance.) If I can just go home and tough it through the night, I'll save about $4000. About two weeks ago I had scheduled a tele visit with my therapist, for Monday morning. So before I could go back to the clinic to get my ankle looked at, I first had to keep my tele-psych appointment. See if you don't show up in the virtual waiting room on time, you get charged $250 USD. I had to decide - If I can spend an extra hour in this pain, I can save $250. So because healthcare in the US is just effed up and is so damned expensive, I had to spend many extra hours in pain. 13 plus hours of pain = ~$4250 saved It shouldn't work that way. Finally arriving back at the clinic Monday morning, I spoke to a doctor (for less than 3 minutes).
One of my coworkers wrecked his motorcycle, and he had broken one ankle and needed skin grafts on his legs, he was only in the hospital for a day and he owes them 34,000 dollars
A few years ago I went to the hospital via ambulance because I was having trouble breathing and had a strange tightness in my chest that was becoming painful - classic signs of heart attack. I was only there for about 2 hours while they ran some x-rays and other tests, diagnosis: dehydration. Cost: $6,800 which included $3,500 for the ambulance ride across town. Almost $7k to be told to drink more water.
Yeah that figure for the broken ankle in the US sounds pretty legit. I got nearly financially ruined over the past two years from extremely minor medical procedures *with* health insurance.

You bet medical expenses in the US are that high! For example, when I had my gal bladder removed and in the hospital for a couple days, a Tylenol I asked for was $20/pill. I think my whole stay was about $25K. Yes, insurance paid for a lot of it, but about a quarter of that was my responsibility. Took me years to pay it off.
@@remlatzargonix1329 Who cares, as long as it satiates you and doesn't taste bad or get you sick, I'm good with it. I had a steak crunch wrap thought so I don't think much of any...
I can confirm Medical bills in the US are absurdly high. I got hit on my motorcycle. $5000 for the ambulance ride. ~$35,000 for the 2 days in hospital.
No Simon, $20,000 does seem incredibly cheap, but hospital costs vary incredibly across The US. I was nearly murdered in a robbery once. I woke up in the hospital with $47,000 in bills and I spent barely one day in the place.
Wow. I remember hearing about the lady who sued mcdonalds and let me tell you, it didnt depend on your news channel you watch, everyone thought it was stupid and some news anchors were alot more willing to make fun of her, then we find out shes spent a week in the hospital with 3rd degree burns and the lawsuit is now taught in schools lmaoo
Simon, I fell off a longboard in 2017 and shattered my tibia. It was $87,000 for surgery and hospital stay. Another 15 grand for various other bills and aftercare, physical therapy, etc. it’s real man. Luckily I was still on my stepmothers insurance.. I was 25 and you age out at 26.

McDon... claimed that she was driving down the road as well. She was not. She was in the passenger seat, and she and her grandson had pulled out of the drive-thru and parked to add their sugar and cream. The company, allegedly, went on a smear campaign to misrepresent the situation. I was a shift manager in one across the country, and we were told (allegedly) that if asked by customers that she was driving down the road and trying to steer and add sugar. I didn’t know the true story until later. They (allegedly) feared copycat lawsuits. We didn’t even have a procedure or way to measure coffee temperature at the time (allegedly).
The poor woman that spilled McDonald's coffee in her lap continues to have her name raked over the coals to this day. She suffered severe burns on her inner thighs and genitals.

A comment about hospital bills in the US. My son was hit by a car while riding his bike. He broke his femur in his left leg. He was flown my helicopter to a Children's hospital about 3 hours away (by car). The helicopter ride was all of 25 minutes. I received a bill of $24,000.. just for chopper ride. I don't even want to talk about the bills for his surgery, and 5 day hospital stay.
Regarding trial by jury, it's a lot more important in a country that, like most areas of the US, has no minimum requirements for judges. Depending on where you are, becoming a judge means getting hired (hopefully by somebody who checks credentials), elected, or appointed by an elected official. Judges don't need to know the law, and the worst penalty they face for screwing up the law is reversal of the case and MAYBE losing their position (until they're reelected, as often happens). From limited past experience with one local judge, I'd ALWAYS prefer a jury. 10 random people are less likely to all be corrupt.
“Commenting the introductory section of a random Wikipedia page I found on every new Business Blaze video until Simon notices” Comment #2 Hyrax Hyraxes (from Ancient Greek: ὕραξ, romanized: hýrax, "shrewmouse"), also called dassies, are small, thickset, herbivorous mammals in the order Hyracoidea. Hyraxes are well-furred, rotund animals with short tails. Typically, they measure between 30 and 70 centimetres (12 and 28 inches) long and weigh between 2 and 5 kilograms (4 and 11 pounds). They are superficially similar to pikas and marmots, but are more closely related to elephants and manatees. Five extant species are recognised; the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) and the yellow-spotted rock hyrax (Heterohyrax brucei), which both live on rock outcrops, including cliffs in Ethiopia and isolated granite outcrops called koppies in southern Africa, the western tree hyrax (Dendrohyrax dorsalis), southern tree hyrax (D. arboreus), and eastern tree hyrax (D. validus). Their distribution is limited to Africa, except for Procavia capensis, which is also found in the Middle East. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyrax
As a US American and connoisseur of Tacko Bell, I can tell you that the art of the food at the Bell is not that it's good, it's that (previrus) it was open 24 hours a day, cheap as dirt, and its menu is designed for (by?) serious stoners. Its a fine establishment, dedicated to the welfare and comfort of those with 3 am munchies and less than 5 bucks.
I am a truck driver here in America, since the pandemic before the insides of restaurants opened up I actually had to walk and order my food through the drive-through, because my truck doesn’t fit they said I had to walk in the drive-through that is the only way that they would serve me
Yep. The difference between Starbucks model and a traditional coffee house (and why Starbucks is considered "fast food") is a traditional coffee house prepares each order almost from scratch or from small batches of pre-made base ingredients. Starbucks pre-makes much larger batches of base ingredients in order to expedite orders and minimize wait times. That's why it can take five to fifteen minutes to get a cup of coffee from a coffee house but about 90 seconds from Starbucks.
Many years ago, when I was working retail some dude lost a bag of weed in the store. He as actually called to see if they found it. He showed up to pick it up.

@@paultheaudaciousbradford6772 I believe so. I think he mentioned it in another video. If it hasn't come out yet it might soon?
I haven't been to a Starbucks for half a decade. I ordered a drink and waited for fifteen minutes as multiple people ordered and received their drinks. They had forgotten to put my order's sticker on the cup and the barista was naturally unaware of my order. The manager saw me standing there and asked what I needed. I said I had ordered a drink and what it was. Seeing I had brown skin she assumed I was either unable to speak English or stupid. She began to very slowly explain the ordering process to me including exaggerated hand gestures. I said I understood the process in my Midwestern accent. The woman at the register saw this and found my order sticker and apologized. The manager only then seemed to realize that I was a paying customer that did not have significant brain damage. She then tried to give me a membership card with five dollars on it which was two dollars less than the mocha I had ordered. It is still sitting at the bottom of a drawer somewhere never to see the light of day again.

i had burger king try to deny me drive thru service in my power chair.
I remember riding my horse through the Mc Donald’s drive through. One thing I learned fairly fast is that although very easy to order and pay it’s hard to carry a cola and bag with my Big Mac meal in it. I’ve also rode my atv in the same drive through. Just in case someone is wondering how I could get to this Mc Donald’s drive through was because it was right on the outskirts of the city and we used the multi use trail that made from the old railroad tracks that used to run. Our ranch was only 5km from the McDonald’s if we went up the back way although it take some convincing to get my horse to swim across the river until they changed it so we could just walk across on a wicked cool bridge.
Man to be a fly on the wall and see the drive thru worker's reaction to see someone riding their horse through!
Regarding the McDonalds claim, being 79, she's automatically covered by Medicare - so that's why her out-of-pocket total would be a lot less than normally expected.

*He should do a Business Blaze about just how shitty the American healthcare system is* (allegedly)
Hospitals/clinics can charge whatever they want for any service with no consistency between patients (or even the same patient) and until this year, didn't even have to tell patients what their services cost. In fact, they even _overcharge_ patients without insurance because insurance companies have lawyers that will argue the prices down. And that's just the tip of the iceberg...
This is why the Dumb's health advisor is trying to get a law through that would force them to publish their price lists. The establishment is fighting her every step of the way.
@Tulkas Astaldo You do realize CANADA has reasonable healthcare. They're not euthanizing people here. Maybe...just maybe...you've been listening to total bullshit that even a 5 year old could see through?
@Tulkas Astaldo Canadian brain surgery survivor here. 9 days. That was the total extent of my 'wait' from original diagnosis to full frontal craniotomy. And I was out of the hospital 4 days after that. You know how they found it, my eye doctor (Sep 23, 2003) - who referred my to an ophthalmologist (Sep 30) - who sent me immediately to a hospital for a CT Scan (Sep 30) where I was admitted immediately, had an MRI the next morning (Oct 1) and was scheduled for surgery (Oct 9). The only reason there was a wait was for some additional testing, including a contrast MRI and bloodwork for verify anesthetic safety (my father had a reaction so they needed to see if I would be OK) was needed to facilitate the surgery. Total cost to me directly = $0 (yes, I know I pay taxes, but less than you do for insurance). That same surgery, in Washington State, would have cost me (or my healthcare provider) over $200 000 and required a minimum 23 day hospital stay. My wife shattered her kneecap, x-ray that afternoon, surgery the next day, several months of physio = $0. I could go on with several other examples that counter the bullshit US healthcare providers spew to support their prices gouging but I won't.
@Tulkas Astaldo Nope. West coast
As a note. The quoted pricing for the surgery in WA was from 2003. That same surgery today would be over $650k, with really no change in how it would be done.

I expect my chicken to be 100% chicken. I expect chicken nuggets and "patties" to have a fair degree of fillers and stabilizers. The reason that the plant matter was unidentifiable is the amount of other genetic material found in GMO plants. Due to my allergies, I have to eat organic to avoid the corn or tomatoes setting off my allergy to soy. $700 in emergency medical expenses on top of feeling like I'm dying for three days is not worth the very temporary "not as hungry" situation.
3) thank you for mentioning the third-degree coffee burns. The shame throwing is absurd, and juries can "recommend" a pay out, but the final amount is always up to the judge.
As someone who's both clumsy and has some medical problems I should point out I'm sure it is way more expensive in some countries but hospital bills aren't cheap in the US. Before insurance does their job of not covering as much as you expected, even getting a clogged ear flushed is $200, getting let's say 10 stitches for a cut is a bit over $2k at the ER. A few months ago I had a medical emergency that required an EKG, chest MRI, Overnight stay (non ICU), round the clock check ups and IV fluids and it was almost $40k.
for the whole medical horror story thing:
Went to the ER, had to be taken there by a friend since i was having a migraine that had gotten so severe, i saw a kaleidoscope going through my vision, and was then blind for hours. They refused to give me anything for the pain/nausea, only hooked me up to a saline solution, and charged me almost 5000 dollars. all the while not even letting me lay on my side as i asked to, as it helped with my nausea.
wtf
@@brainblaze6526 YUUUP. my own mother is an RN here in the states, and she states how terrible our system is. it may be incorrect, but i got my viewpoints on how health insurance is a scam from her. basically, in a time before health insurance as we know it today, you would just pay a doctor cash upon receiving treatment. insurance was started merely as a way for people who had foresight to save a portion of their income and keep it in a special account to be used for medical purposes, only to be, pardon my french, bastardized along the way into the corrupt, government driven system we have here in the states.
cheers!
@@Olenh This. The reason medical costs are so damn high in the US is because the insurance companies refuse to pay the full amount the doctors need to charge for care, which forces the doctors to raise their rates just to break even with the insurance companies, so when an uninsured person goes in for care, they're charged the inflated rates that the billing department is expecting to be negotiated down by an insurance broker.
Yeah it's nearly impossible to get any kind of narcotic pain relief in the u.s. now. Doctors and pharmaceutical companies handed then it like Chiclets for decades for everything which directly led to the opioid crisis. So now because they fucked up people in real intense pain have to suffer.
I will say this though I also get crippling migraines and when I have to go to the er and I ask for Toradol. It's an NSAID they put it in my IVs but it can also be administered intramuscularly. Idk if that will help you in anyway but I hope so.

Stella Liebeck was absolutely in the right, anybody who disagrees never actually looked at the facts.
I mean, you gotta admit it sounds silly on its face.
Tex the way it was spun sounded silly. But that happens all the time I suppose. What the mainstream media does after all. At the time I was friends with a Bunn rep/service technician and he said that EVERY time he went into a McDonalds to service the coffee machines, they had turned up the heat to flesh melting temperatures. He’d issue written warnings on the dangers of the machine being over 140 degrees, etc. reset the machine, leave, and they’d just ignore him and turned it back up. The stories of her driving around with coffee between her legs and such were outright lies, it was disgusting what that woman went through.
Fast food companies worked really hard to get the media to make her look bad and themselves innocent victims of her greed.
Dillon Brunschon I’ve spilled hot coffee on my lap before. It wasn’t pleasant. And it was burning low on workplace coffee pot. Besides tasting like acidic shit at such temperatures, even my burns didn’t require complete skin grafts. The temperature they served it at was beyond its boiling point and they spilled it on her. It’s negligence. Stop advocating for profiteering corporate whores who twisted tort reform so badly as to make victims the wrong doers. She asked for 20K. Her lawyers didn’t just do “such a good job.” They explained the facts. And McDonald’s corporate lawyers were so appallingly awful a jury of 12 people who didn’t know her gave her that, both as recompense, and as punishment to the corporation who went out of their way to victimize a woman who needed to visit a burn ward and undergo surgery to heal.
Also beverages aren’t food, and my Frappuccino has coffee in it and isn’t required to be served at 140 degrees. They have just regular iced coffee too. Stop talking out your ass
I worked at McDonald's as a teen. The manager told me that our "beef" patties contained 15% soy mash. Which he said was "standard." Note: 15% soy mash was also printed on the labels of the boxes of beef patties.
You _can_ freeze, thaw and refreeze meat. But as with anything, the results depend on the state of the product before it was frozen in the first place. And how it was tawed, to what temperatures, handling, and refreezing.
If your product is fresh, from healthy origin, treated properly and deepfreezed, it's fine to taw that to 2-4°C for a few days. Or for cutting a big part into steaks in sanitary manners without saws, freeze a little, vaccuum bag individually then back in the deep freeze. If you've ever vacuum bagged and sous vide'd a fresh or already tawed steak or a larger cut of meat (especially a lean cut), you understand why freezing the steaks at least a little bit before vacuum bagging, is the preferred way to go (the squished "seams" you get around it if bagged freah/tawed, are not exactly conducive to aesthetic presentation). It's a common practice in many restaurants and industry kitchens for prepping steaks for sous vide later, if the local region cannot or does not easily supply fresh never-frozen meat to commercial / industry customers. Again, it depends a lot on the health of the goods originally, sanitary storage and handling, and methodology.
Curiously, one big grill channel on YT doing serious steak snobbery for a living, took multiple steaks from one large piece, cut up, then froze tawed and refroze each steak a different amount of times (tawed to fridge temp ofc), then prepped them all sous vide. Conducting a blind test, they didn't clearly identity any steak from the rest until one had gone through 4 cycles or more.
Poultry can be a different story though. Especially American chicken, which is in such damn bad state that most other Western (and any other sane) countries have a ban on import of out of legitimate public health and cross-contamination concerns. That stuff isn't even safe to bury underground, just in case it could contaminate the ground water. But hey. Nothing is completely useless. At least American chicken products serve a purpose as a warning, a lesson in what not to do. Ad a bad example of something made for consumption.

So of course, the mooks all cry we need _more_ government to fix it.
@Dillon Brunschon don't get me wrong, I did not have to pay that much, when the insurance refused to cover it they knocked it down to $500, It is the way doctors and insurance works

Your government may be bad, but in other countries governments have actually arranged things so that they benefit the ordinary folk. I for one am glad that where I live not everything is privatized and/or for profit, since it would be bad if it would be so. Every time when we've privatized something the prices go up, service gets worse and the whole thing ends up sucking really badly. There are things that are naturally more suited for capital markets and those that aren't. Most things are good to be in private hands, but some are not.

I'm a bilateral above-the-knee amputee who lives in America and I can promise you there is no exaggeration on medical bills but you can pay $10 a month for the rest of your life 😂, for instance when I need to get a brand new set of prosthetics it costs around $110,000 on top of that I had to get a new wheelchair in my insurance wouldn't cover it because I got one when I was 13.... I was 19! I outgrew it and it was broken but they told me I had to wait another two years my new wheelchair cost $18,000! I watch all your channels they are extremely informative and this one is so funny you definitely should do a video on people who purposely amputate limbs or pretend to be disabled! there's a whole group of people out there that identifie as disabled people and it drives me freaking crazy and not enough people know about it! Also look up the guy who fed his friends his own foot and turned it into tacos..... I feel like you'd prefer taco Bell over that any day😂

I got sterilized last year via removal of my fallopian tubes. It was a 15 minute outpatient procedure. The bill was almost $40,000. Thankfully, insurance covered it all. But what is the justification for slapping a $40k price tag on _that?_ I see no good reason why a procedure of that caliber shouldn't be cheap enough to afford out of pocket. I can understand a couple thousand. But _tens of thousands?_ Really, healthcare system?
My first job was at Taco Bell. I recall the “refried” beans were made by opening up two packets containing a mysterious powder, adding that to a giant pot of water and melting a block of lard. Heat, stir serve. Allegedly.
mysterious powders were probably bean flavored powder & finely ground salt
Also worked at Taco Bell, ours also did not use lard in the beans. We did, however, use lard in the rice. And the pico de gayo was truly disturbing.
If a mysterious powder doesn't lead to waking up 4 days later in Tijuana at a donkey show, it wasn't really that mysterious.

When i was a student we went through the drive through of McDonalds in shopping carts. 1 person sitting in the cart 1 person pushing the cart, 4 carts total. It worked like a charm.
The $20,000 bill was the cost insurance did not cover. She said she would of been happy if they paid just the medical bills. Surgeries and skin grafts cost way more than 20k. Had an endoscopic surgery to fix a bleed and it was almost 100k.
Medical care in the US is expensive. I was in the hospital for 8 days and had several test and other treatments that bill was over 350k. At the time my insurance covered all but 80k of it, that 80k is sitting in collections

Thank you for going over the Liebeck case, a.k.a the McDonalds hot coffee lawsuit. The case has been continuously ridiculed and misrepresented by the media. At the heart of the matter was an issue of product defectiveness. At trial, it was determined that the coffee was so hot that it actually met the legal definition of defectiveness. Thus, McDonalds was held liable in the same way as any other manufacturer of defective products would have been. if the coffee hadn't been served so hot, Stella Liebeck's injuries wouldn't have been so severe. Moreover, the judge applied the doctrine of comparative negligence and determined that Stella Liebeck was 20% responsible for her own injuries.
I was cooking dinner a little over a month ago, and like an idiot I burned the fuck out of my hand with boiling water that spilled all over it. I planned to just keep it elevated and use a cool compress. Partner got the first aid kit and hounded me til I went to the ER because the first aid kit advised to do exactly what I was doing expect to go to the ER if the burn was to the hands due to possible nerve damage. I went ok fair. My local hospital is pretty empty the ER had no one else there. I got to a room right away, sat there for 30 minutes in the room before the doctor came in looked at the hand and went "Yep first degree burn you're doing what you should do. Not gonna prescribe anything else just keep doing that. Wait for the nurse to come in for some exit paperwork." 30 minutes later (actually know that from time between texts to my partner keeping them in the loop) a nurse comes in goes "Oh are you all done the doctor never notified us." So I get checked out they do the release paper work and a bill comes in a week later. $500 bucks a bit over half handled by my insurance for a doctor to have me sit in a room for an hour half of which he forgot I was there, and to tell me yes you did what you should now get out of my hospital.
I've seen a horse & carriage in McDonald's drive thru. The staff laughed and served the couple in the carriage.

In the States, civil court cases that go to trials often have a jury - usually with 6 jurors, as opposed to criminal trials, which have 12 jurors.

And alot of companies have shitty insurance or even refuse to give it unless you work exactly 35 or so hours a week through the year. And then Cut it if you had it but only work 30 mins shy of the average. No doctor, dentist, or eyeglasses for me.
@@Striker9 Until you have a critical ear infection and will face death. They hold the monopoly on pain. I had a kidney stone and in my county? The helpers are so under experienced they struggle taking blood or using needles. Good old communist California.
I had a series of seizures very recently (first time ever, woke up in the hospital with no memories of like a week before and was in a medically induced coma for another week before waking up,) and now I have like half a million in medical debt I'll never be able to pay off.
Sunday I tore my achilles tendon while working in the garden. I arrived at urgent care 3 minutes until close, so they refused to see me and referred me to the nearest hospital emergency room. Well I can't afford an emergency room bill so wouldn't go unless I was actually dying. I had to go home and wait until the clinic opened back up on Monday morning to get help. Its insanely painful but I just couldn't afford to pay thousands of dollars to get relief earlier. (and I do have health insurance. ERs can still cost thousands, even with insurance.) If I can just go home and tough it through the night, I'll save about $4000.
About two weeks ago I had scheduled a tele visit with my therapist, for Monday morning. So before I could go back to the clinic to get my ankle looked at, I first had to keep my tele-psych appointment. See if you don't show up in the virtual waiting room on time, you get charged $250 USD. I had to decide - If I can spend an extra hour in this pain, I can save $250.
So because healthcare in the US is just effed up and is so damned expensive, I had to spend many extra hours in pain. 13 plus hours of pain = ~$4250 saved
It shouldn't work that way.
Finally arriving back at the clinic Monday morning, I spoke to a doctor (for less than 3 minutes).
@Chang Noi We all did, but if you LIVE in it? It means months of waiting. Free? Means a dragged out cheap system..

A few years ago I went to the hospital via ambulance because I was having trouble breathing and had a strange tightness in my chest that was becoming painful - classic signs of heart attack.
I was only there for about 2 hours while they ran some x-rays and other tests, diagnosis: dehydration. Cost: $6,800 which included $3,500 for the ambulance ride across town. Almost $7k to be told to drink more water.
Holy shit! 😨 Does he not have medical coverage on his auto insurance? It's only a few extra bucks a month, and it's worth it!
@@joshglover2370 I asked him about insurance about a month before he wrecked and he said and I quote "I don't need that shit!"

You bet medical expenses in the US are that high! For example, when I had my gal bladder removed and in the hospital for a couple days, a Tylenol I asked for was $20/pill. I think my whole stay was about $25K. Yes, insurance paid for a lot of it, but about a quarter of that was my responsibility. Took me years to pay it off.

I can confirm Medical bills in the US are absurdly high. I got hit on my motorcycle. $5000 for the ambulance ride. ~$35,000 for the 2 days in hospital.
No Simon, $20,000 does seem incredibly cheap, but hospital costs vary incredibly across The US. I was nearly murdered in a robbery once. I woke up in the hospital with $47,000 in bills and I spent barely one day in the place.

A comment about hospital bills in the US. My son was hit by a car while riding his bike. He broke his femur in his left leg. He was flown my helicopter to a Children's hospital about 3 hours away (by car). The helicopter ride was all of 25 minutes. I received a bill of $24,000.. just for chopper ride. I don't even want to talk about the bills for his surgery, and 5 day hospital stay.
Regarding trial by jury, it's a lot more important in a country that, like most areas of the US, has no minimum requirements for judges. Depending on where you are, becoming a judge means getting hired (hopefully by somebody who checks credentials), elected, or appointed by an elected official. Judges don't need to know the law, and the worst penalty they face for screwing up the law is reversal of the case and MAYBE losing their position (until they're reelected, as often happens). From limited past experience with one local judge, I'd ALWAYS prefer a jury. 10 random people are less likely to all be corrupt.

Hyrax
Hyraxes (from Ancient Greek: ὕραξ, romanized: hýrax, "shrewmouse"), also called dassies, are small, thickset, herbivorous mammals in the order Hyracoidea. Hyraxes are well-furred, rotund animals with short tails. Typically, they measure between 30 and 70 centimetres (12 and 28 inches) long and weigh between 2 and 5 kilograms (4 and 11 pounds). They are superficially similar to pikas and marmots, but are more closely related to elephants and manatees.
Five extant species are recognised; the rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) and the yellow-spotted rock hyrax (Heterohyrax brucei), which both live on rock outcrops, including cliffs in Ethiopia and isolated granite outcrops called koppies in southern Africa, the western tree hyrax (Dendrohyrax dorsalis), southern tree hyrax (D. arboreus), and eastern tree hyrax (D. validus). Their distribution is limited to Africa, except for Procavia capensis, which is also found in the Middle East.

American here, starbucks fits into the same industry, QSR "Quick service restaurant"
Yep. The difference between Starbucks model and a traditional coffee house (and why Starbucks is considered "fast food") is a traditional coffee house prepares each order almost from scratch or from small batches of pre-made base ingredients. Starbucks pre-makes much larger batches of base ingredients in order to expedite orders and minimize wait times. That's why it can take five to fifteen minutes to get a cup of coffee from a coffee house but about 90 seconds from Starbucks.
Huh, you’re right
