Weirdly the things it’s the worst at.
There’s a note at the end of the article that says it was take using pano. So this is doubly unsurprising. Despite the instagram caption reading it wasn’t.
How do you imagine they profit?
Maybe so! The one at mine worked like this:
You elect in advance how much you want to fund your FSA in the next upcoming period (year)
On day 1 of that period the FSA is available to you to spend on eligible expenses. Within 2 weeks I spent the full years elected amount (one surgery).
For the duration of the period they deduct (pre-tax) the total FSA election / pay periods (ie. $2000/24 in my case). And that would repeat through the full period (year).
So in my case, leaving after paycheck 1 of that period, but spending 100% of the elected funds means I paid: 1x(2000/24)= $83. But I spent $2000. Upon leaving that meant they did not collect $1917.
This is an actual FSA ‘loophole’. Easily searchable.
When you start an FSA the funds are front loaded. You can immediately spend everything. But you pay it back over the course of the year. So if you leave and all the funds are spent - you don’t owe them a repayment and they can’t exactly keep deducting from your paycheck.
Weird FSA trick tho; if you borrow from an FSA, spend it in full in, say… the first month of the year, quit your job. You never have to pay it back.
Happened to me by accident. I started a plan to pay for LASIK. Got it. Had no way of knowing back then I’d be made another job offer. Took it and expected to get dinged with the entire amount. Nope. FSA plan eats the loss.
So all you gotta do is plan very specifically months ahead and triple down by orchestrating a job change all to save $2k :) easy.
In many jurisdictions it’s not legal to charge this fee unless it’s advertised when ordering such as on the menu or posted signage.
Yea makes sense. Network and cable TV in the US is and always has been about 50/50 ads to content. It’s horrendous to watch. And probably explains why some sizable number of Americans will always pay to go ad free if it’s an option.
Edit: and not be too concerned about a 10s bumper ad or two. Altho don’t get wrong they are increasingly obnoxious.
TV? The platform that basically is one giant ad? This is the most confusing comment.
Bookmarked. Apple and google connections are so frustrating.
“Had they been brave” for Sears means axing or disincentivizing their entire income stream of a nationwide chain of mega stores in malls, etc. It’s not that what you’re saying is wrong, it’s just that these scenarios don’t happen for a reason. They would have decimated their reliable revenue streams when the time was “right” and by the time it was too late, well… no money to invest as you’re closing stores and in the red.
“Prescription Data” reads to me like: get this filled right away: 3ccs of a Wi-Fi 6 base station, and we’re going to start you on a course of 5g mmWave with monthly refills.
They lost some sales right now because they chose chaos and pissed off everyone. Also they are AB InBev and let’s be real they’re gonna be fine.
Being honest I think the opposite of this is more likely true. Seeing a flashing indicator for all the notifications my phone “thinks” are important is going to make me more likely to constantly check my phone. Barring that I check when I want to. And with the new passive display modes I can glance and decide whether to even unlock or not.
Sit down…
Do men turn 4?
Meanwhile today I get an ad from eero for a WiFi 7 router system that costs $1699
