I just wanted to take a minute to say "hi" to anyone that might remember me. I joined here this past October just to view and speak with some old friends. As of about 2 weeks ago my insurance decided they didn't like me anymore! So, even though I am "new" here I am everything but! I posted under the same UN at DB with a pinky and the brain avatar. So, I just wanted to say "hi" to everyone and wish everyone nothing but the best!

Well, that makes 2 of us! The thing that gets me is 1)I received no kind of notification until the pharmacist told me. 2)my insurance premium went up $17/month this month???

That really sucks /default_sad.png  I am sorry to say but I think that is going to be the trend from now on unfortunately...

 
Well hello to you. Welcome back. New here myself, but learning the ropes mighty fast. Gotta be quick in today's fast paced IT world.

I'd say "take a seat" but by doing so you might fall behind.

Just post away. Try to hit 50 in one night. Those are the kinda posters I like the best.

In any event, cheers my friend.

 
@Puzzler. Lol. I think 100 I'm one night is much better. Maybe there should be a thread in the introduction section called "I don't care about DBG. I just want some drugs. Here are my 30 posts "

I agree that it is definitely becoming a trend. I wouldn't have such a issue with it had I been notified in some manner. How hard is it to send out a letter so someone has time to prepare. They could have used some of that monthly increase to send a form letter saying "you've got to such and such date, then nada" but I guess that would be expecting to much!

Try going from a typical HMO with $50 copay doc visit to $2500 deductible and no doctor copay of any kind and no free physical/ well-woman checkup - nuthin. It's BS. My cost used to be about $200/month pre tax and then $10-$20 prescription co-pay and $50 doc co-pay and free physical and well-woman check up each year to basically nothing AND a premium increase because I'm now over 40. 20% increase. I work for a small company and I guess I should be happy to have anything but Jesus Christ I need something catastrophic (hope not) before I get any benefit. I have to see my orthopedist 4x yearly for script and cortisone shot. Then 2x year to ob/gyn because we have cervical cancer in my family.

I'm very healthy minus the degenerative bone disease that requires the ortho. I'm not remotely overweight and am in really good shape and a non-smoker and non longer considered child bearing age. So now I pay $5500/ year before I get one dollar of medical benefit. I wouldn't mind the high deductible so much if my rates had gone down you know? At least I have an hsa though that is deducted pretax.

I think in the long run we have two options in this country and they are both extremes. From what I understand healthcare premiums would actually go down if everyone paid individually - no business could provide the benefit. It's the buying power of business that allows cheaper premiums for their employees. Small business and self employed are screwed. So that's one option. Fend for your self. The other is more or less Medicare for everyone but then obviously our taxes go up. Seems to me either way sucks for some and is good for others.

The big problem in my opinion is that Americans want services but don't want to pay for them. Everyone says they don't want the poor lady with cancer to die BUT they don't want to pay more to help her. We want the money to magically appear. I think the more honest conversation (which will never happen btw) is really "this is how much money we have $100 - this is what we want $1000. Do we really care if the woman with cancer dies? If yes pay more if no pay less." Problem is everyone including myself feels a moral obligation to say yes we care. I'm willing to pay more so this theoretical woman gets chemo. I don't think everyone else is willing and they should say so. In those folks defense ( my hubby is very Ron Paul supporting libertarian) at what time is enough enough and you worry about yourself. Idk the answer. I just know it sucks to pay a lot of money and only get 4 shots and a papsmear

  1. xenxra @ xenxra: @nuthinbutpleasure you're looking at the .net domain man.... it's obviously not seized if you're posting on the shoutbox lmao
  2. N @ nuthinbutpleasure: When i put dbg in my brave browser it comes up saying this place is seized by law enforcement.on my skin.im gone you shhould do the same all.sorry
  3. cheezusjeezuz @ cheezusjeezuz: Makes sense
  4. iamgroot @ iamgroot: @xenxra yes no scanning or sometimes usps lost packs and sometimes pack just moving around the country instead of going to destination.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: @iamgroot what kind of slowdowns are you seeing so far? multiple days for acceptance scans?
  6. iamgroot @ iamgroot: Shipping is slow and its gonna be slower as we move towards Christmas. Plan accordingly.
  7. Bizz @ Bizz: @xenxra i was hoping with your expertise you could fiill the details in thank you! I’m getting into crypto right now and learning and I’m starting to be able to save consistent amount of money was legitimate employment and I’m not sure where to put it other than bitcoin and XR in Ethereum Would you mind DM me a suggestion I can learn on my own, but I would like a suggestion from an expert
  8. xenxra @ xenxra: @Bizz fed board member waller said yesterday he doesn't see a good case for rolling out a cbdc
  9. Bizz @ Bizz: Losing faith….
  10. Bizz @ Bizz: @DerailedFisherman i believe it’s the us central bank digital currency connected to fed now.
  11. PHXINC @ PHXINC: Please do not even mention PHX on this shoutbox. We appreciate it loves. Unless we needa ran through. But that aint gonna happen. Im so happy with our current DBG base. Goodbye scammers. Go play chutes and ladders w your old vendors. ;) Man i got a feeling our thread is about to blow soon. Well even more so...lets just wait and see. And got some arrivals that will be fun i think. ;)
  12. xenxra @ xenxra: a huge chunk of the cost i pay with these firms is to offset the costs of their compliancy tools and they're also in a position to draft out a significantly more comprehensive report that i could use during the litigation process when i inevitably end up having to take this to court.
  13. xenxra @ xenxra: @knofflebon @uncharted i mean you have to consider the landscape these days compared to ten years ago. they send these coins through bridges, dexes, mixers, swappers - all sorts of crap. part of the reason i think i have a chance is bc these people apparently aren't experienced enough to know they could have just withdrawn all my funds straight to a DEX for XMR and they'd be ghosts but they're wallet hopping the BTC to ETH/USDT.
  14. DerailedFisherman @ DerailedFisherman: @Bizz what is USBC
  15. uncharted @ uncharted: @xenxra $200 an hour to "analize the blockchain" is outrageous. I don't know how they got you wether just basic phishing, spearphishing, javascript drive by, or as I said threres many ways. They got me one time years ago and since then it's been straight linux with expecerything compartmentalized in VM's. QUBES would be the best thogh in terms of security
  16. Bizz @ Bizz: Anyone thoughts on USBC being released in two days?
  17. K @ knofflebon: @xenxra damn, you would hope if they charge that much that they wouldn't charge you unless they're successful. That sucks man.
  18. Bizz @ Bizz: @xenxra just wrote something on PHX page that I think applies to your situation as well. I wish I could help, although Lyft has offered my cybersecurity school and in 14 weeks I’ll join the fight lol!
  19. A @ AnnaSofia: Man that sucks sorry @xenra it’s a crazy world with all that stuff. That’s horrible. No chump change either. And to think I was freaking out thinking I lost $350 the other day.
  20. Bizz @ Bizz: @xenxra holy shit dude, I’m sorry to hear that. Makes anything I’m worried about child’s play.
