Wow jeeze I sure do wonder what would happen if money didn’t matter and every body else didn’t have to wait for some rich fucker to strut down from their mountain of money to gift us a pebble from it.
The whole medical Industry is a scam, I’m not surprised. This is exactly why there’s so much money in pharmaceuticals in the US!
That’s why it’s better to get the generic brand pills it’s cheaper and legit the same thing
Oh yes.
this is pretty funky if legit
It’s Martin Lewis of MoneySavingExpert. It’s legitimate.
Could someone please caption this to where I can actually read it. The giant “grmdaily” thing covering the subtitles makes it impossible to actually read.
‘Dude: if they have an identical PL Code, which is on the back of the packet, they are the same tablet
Lady: Oh wow
Dude: Not the same active ingredient, the same tablet
Lady again: Oh Wow
Dude: so big pharmaceutical companies spend millions of pounds promoting this “Go with the name you know, go with the name you know” and that’s just bologna in most cases, and I’ll prove it to you, they’re identical
So let’s take this, Beechams all in one Hot Lemon Menthol Powder 10 sachetes, 4.99. Active ingredients paracetamol, phenylephrine and guaifenesin. Wilkos, 1.85 10 sachetes, look in the back hopefully the graphics will turn over as I do that, there we go, the PL code 12063/0104, they are the same tablet
Other dude: Just remind us again, the price difference?
Dude: 4.99 for the one branded Beechams, 1.85 for the one in Wilkos
Lady: Wow
Dude: This happens all over the place’
Sorry I don’t have the pound key on my keyboard cause I’m American. But here is the transcript
This is true, but it’s specific to the sale of drugs in the UK. PL is the Product License number, which is issued by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) which is an agency of the UK government.
guys I know I ask for help on here a lot, but this month if I don’t get some sort of assistance my roommate and I won’t be able to pay our rent or electricity and I’m kind of freaking out. (Okay I’m really freaking out.)
Anything helps to be honest but if all of you could help get us to $300 it would honestly mean so so so freaking much and we wouldn’t have to worry this month.
Honestly you have my undying gratitude and if there’s anything I can do for anyone who donates in the future let me know because I really hate doing this and I hate that it’s necessary.
Every year, the richest person in America is declared the “Winner of Capitalism.” They get a badge. Then all of their wealth is donated to charity and they have to start over at $0.
This procedure results in the worlds richest people donating excessive amounts of money ahead of the event in an attempt to avoid being hit by a real life blue shell. Thus adding to the overall annual donation.
Y’all think this is a joke but that’s literally how taxes are *supposed* to work
An action being “punishable by a fine” basically means “legal for rich people”.
Oh wow. That’s…
This is why all fines should be income based. They should carry the EXACT same weight of punishment to anyone who commits the act. That way poor folk aren’t bankrupted into desperation or jail by a minor offense and rich people can’t get away with shit.
Like they do in, for example, Finland.
Finland, Home of the $103,000 Speeding Ticket
Reima Kuisla, a Finnish businessman, was recently caught going 65 miles per hour in a 50 zone in his home country—an offense that would typically come with a fine of a couple hundred dollars, at most, in the U.S. But after Finnish police pulled Kuisla over, they pinged a federal taxpayer database to determine his income, consulted their handbook, and arrived at the amount that he was required to pay: €54,000.
The fine was so extreme because in Finland, some traffic fines, as well as fines for shoplifting and violating securities-exchange laws, are assessed based on earnings—and Kuisla’s declared income was €6.5 million per year. Exorbitant fines like this are infrequent, but not unheard of: In 2002, a Nokia executive was fined the equivalent of $103,000 for going 45 in a 30 zone on his motorcycle, and the NHL player Teemu Selanne incurred a $39,000 fine two years earlier.
“This is no constitutionally governed state,” one Finn who was fined nearly $50,000 moaned to The Wall Street Journal, “This is a land of rhinos!” Outrage among the rich—especially nonsensical, safari-invoking outrage—might be a sign that something fair is at work.
This is than perfect way to produce fines which are fair to all
This means there shouldn’t be ridiculous limits on how much someone can make while on disability benefits
I’d like to add that this also means acknowledging that being disabled is often expensive, and thus should actually be given proportionately more to ensure they can afford expenses like wheelchairs, medically prescribed diets, prosthetics, modified vehicles, and accessible housing as needed for their condition.
This also means abolishing the idea that you should have to work 40 hrs a week and give up on rest and recovery time and leisure time to support yourself. It means criticizing not only that the minimum wage cant support a single person at 40 hours a week rn, but that is also a lacking measurement in and of itself since many disabled people who can work cant work that long and still have any quality of life to speak of.
