Fun fact: I recently learned life insurance can be used as a mechanism for really wealthy people to dodge taxes. Basically under the right circumstances you can pull money from life insurance policies with little to no penalty (and no, I'm not talking about when you die). High Deductible Health Plans and their corresponding Health Savings Accounts also work the same way, because they accumulate interest and have no tax penalty when used under the right circumstances.

In essence, insurance is a scam to rob those who don't have much means, while simultaneously acting as a money laundering vehicle for those who do.

In a similar vein, Evelyn Wang from Everything Everywhere All At Once... She may not start out badass, but oh boy does that change

It gets funnier when you realize Berd made a video about exactly how the Internet responds to typos in arguments:

You know, I had never noticed this correlation until you brought it up, but it's kind of sad how accurate it is...

It's funny you mention this, because a few days ago I went to my local market to grab milk, and the regular milk was more expensive that the plant-based milk...never thought I'd see this day in the US!
