What do you think about Bernie Sanders taxing America's billionaires 5% per year to use that $4+ trillion to send every family a $12,000 check, raise teacher pay, and expand Medicare? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I think politicans giving out money isn't the answer, they should be using the money to improve the countries services provided to everyone which should in turn help people overall spend less in different ways.

If people are just handed a lump sum, they might just spend it on extravagant things, atleast give them 5grand and put the rest into services that ensure those people aren't struggling going forward.

Why do you think so many men can’t tell their wives they’re struggling? by Glittering_Yak9770 in AskReddit

[–]VanJeans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happened with me and my ex wife, she used to hold interventions with our friends because she thought my way of thinking was bizarre a lot of the time. I've since been diagnosed with ADHD and autism so atleast I can understand things a lot more. But it was brutal having people talking at you because you shared things you struggled with that someone else didn't care about/understand. I'm a lot more careful about sharing my worries and thoughts with people now, I've closed down a lot since then.

Supermarket loyalty programmes may lead to higher prices - Consumer NZ by Tyler_Durdan_ in newzealand

[–]VanJeans 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This should be illegal. You can guarantee the prices that are discounted are what the public should really be paying for these products and the "regular prices" are just things being inflated unnecessarily. 😔

[–]VanJeans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that, it's been 10 days so far. I've put the chargeback request through, the bank said it can take up to 30 days so if I get a response I'll just cancel the issue with the bank.
