  • Dude's name is Jesse Welles, he had a couple albums out and posts new videos like this constantly on social media and YouTube. And he's fast to write songs about the current goings-on.

    Best new artist of 2024 IMO (he's had a couple bands that were moderately successful indie outfits, but never had the kind of reach he's getting now)

  • My wife broke her ankle, spent the night in the hospital hooked up to IV pain meds, and had surgery the next day.

    Insurance said that the overnight stay was medically unnecessary, as the care could have been provided in a more appropriate setting. They only approved overnight stays in instances where the patient's pain needed constant management or they were having surgery. Bonus points: there was a footnote on the denial papers saying that the person who denied the coverage had a medical background...in OBGYN. Not orthopedics.

    Spent literally months appealing that before they begrudgingly agreed that it was covered, which makes us the lucky ones in the US Healthcare system.

  • See 2 comments ago. Nobody except the ultra rich could afford to go into business if it meant risking all of their personal assets.

    And like already mentioned: it's not less liability, it's separate liability. Misconduct as a business (which may not even be the owner's fault, it could be an employee's) can risk all of the business assets, but not personal assets owned outside the business.

  • Because the line does need to be drawn somewhere. You can't just go out, cause harm to someone, and then claim "Oh, that harm was done by my company, not me personally. Incidentally, my company only has like $20 in assets for you to recover."

    The paperwork also doesn't entirely grant you the limited liability. You need to actually operate the company as a separate entity from yourself. If you "piece the veil" between individual and company, you may not be able to claim limited liability in court.

  • I'm with you about not anthropomorphizing faceless companies as the bad actors here, but also I really doubt the CEO was the one who enacted this decision. It probably came from some middle manger who clicked "yes" on some report they didn't actually read.

  • You just get a lot of people who cook turkey exactly once per year, don't do a particularly good job, and then ruin everybody's expectations of the bird.

    Plus or minus turkey lunch meat, which is usually mediocre at best.
