Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

Last I checked the US spent more than any comparable country on healthcare/capita, roughly twice the OECD average.
And, they have to deal with medical bankruptcies, using Uber instead of ambulances, insulin rationing, and whatnot
yup. Last time i checked, america was paying about $14K per capita, and the rest of the developed world was paying $3K-6K
but what about the shareholders?!?
exactly. Fuck the people, just as long as shareholders get that extra 1c per share.
But who would innovate if America didn't fleece its patients?
yeah but why would I pay for healthcare if I'm healthy(now)!!??
It's the least effective system, but at least it's not ~~communism~~ ~~socialism~~ a system where tax money is used to cover human rights
Plus hundreds of thousands of lawyers and lawsuits.
