In the US, hospitals are confident enough to print ‘39.95’ on the bill for holding your newborn

They are so sure about their system they don't mind explicitly spelling out that they charge $40 for literally handing over the baby and waiting for a few minutes

Because they don't even consider that absurd anymore

I got news for you.. it’s ABSURD!

@stux I’d be pissed at being charged for a “Lactation consultant”; also, and I can’t emphasize this enough, this is a rhetorical question, why is there a quantity of 2?

@real_jamescain lactation consultants are trained professionals who have to be paid for their work. The 2 is 2 consultant sessions. Because not everyone needs one it’s not folded into the non-itemized bill like floor nursing services are.

@real_jamescain rhetorical questions asked in bad faith deserve and require the illumination of same provided by a legitimate answer.

Don’t mock crucial things you don’t understand and won’t ever apply to your life or wellbeing is a good rule to adopt.

@amaditalks Elucidation shouldn’t partner with condescension.

@real_jamescain you do not get to argue about the tone of your education when you could have kept your snarky nonsense to yourself to begin with.

@amaditalks I specifically said “and I can’t emphasize this enough, this is a rhetorical question”, and now you’re coming at me like the joke and tone police. I love how keeping your nonsense to yourself only flows in one direction.
