I want to drive a 30 yr old 3 cylinder car from Japan, illegal.
I want to sit around the fireplace and watch a scary movie. Illegal.
I want to ride my e-bike down my local trail. Illegal.
I want to modify my car and give it a little more pep. Illegal.
I want to 3D print airsoft guns, play with my friends in the woods, and record the fights with my drone. Illegal.
I want to let my kids run around at the park by themselves. Illegal.
I want to try out some cheap Chinese EVs and phones. Illegal.
I want to give myself glp1 drugs, but i didn’t want to pay $1000 for a dose, so i want to buy it overseas. Illegal.
I’m not sure of the efficacy of the pills vs the injections, but in the USA you can get Wegovy pills for $149/month now, which AFAIK is roughly the same price as other countries.
It’s $149 of you don’t have insurance. I have insurance though Kaiser so i didn’t quality for that, and kiaser won’t give it to me.
So i pay $36k a year for insurance for drugs they won’t give me, and i can’t afford the drugs because i didn’t qualify for the “no insurance” coupons.
Ah that sucks. I didn’t know that. My wife uses Zepbound and thankfully our insurance covers it so it’s only $10/month.
We’re Aussies living in the USA, and GLP-1 meds aren’t covered by Australia’s public health care system yet, so right now it’s actually cheaper in the USA than in Australia. In Australia, medications covered by the public health care system (Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme) are a maximum of $S25 for most people, and $7.70 for low-income families.
I started wegovy pill last month and have lost 30lbs so far, roughly 8% of my starting body weight.
I’m a fat fuck though, and my first pounds always come off easy. Plus there were a couple days I just didn’t eat because I was throwing up constantly.
The starting doses are $149/mo with mfg coupon and no insurance. Higher doses I think are $199. I believe both are cheaper than the injected variety.
As much as I hate the fact that I have to pay out of pocket for any medication…I’m fairly sure my grocery bill dropped by more than $149 since starting.
Wow, nice! Keep it up.
in the USA you can get Wegovy pills for $149/month now
Wtf? That’s little more than HALF what it costs in Denmark where drugs are usually much CHEAPER than in the US!
Idk about the pills, but my wife has been on the shot since last year and it was $25 a month on my particular insurance plan in the US. This year insurance got worse and plan cost went up drastically. I now pay $50 a month, although we recently changed to get a 3 month supply and that came to $100 for the 3 months. Sounds ok i guess, but my insurance alone costs like $1400 a month or almost $17k a year… i would much rather pay $150 a month and save the 17k a year.
I still don’t understand the three month discounts lol. Seems like a bunch of insurance plans have it. With my insurance, you can either get one month, or three months’ worth for the exact same price as one month, so I’m not sure why anyone would ever get refills monthly.
I’m very thankful that my employers covers almost all the cost of my (and my wife’s) insurance. My wife is self-employed so it’d be pretty expensive if she needed to get her own health insurance.

Why?

Doubtful
I want to ride my e-bike down my local trail.
Move to Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, or France. Sweden or Norway if you want to crash into a moose.
I want to let my kids run around at the park by themselves
Move to anywhere in Scandinavia, probably most other European countries
I think health insurance is to expensive and i want to not pay for it
I am once again asking you to move to Europe
I want to do mushrooms in the privacy of my own home
Move to the Netherlands, Jamaica, or Brazil
Note in case it’s not obvious: I am aware that relocating across borders or even oceans can be very difficult and costly. I am being a flippant ass for comedic effect.
I want an autozam AZ1. Because i like small cars.
The fireplace one is local laws. We only have 2 days a year that we can burn wood. It’s it’s illegal most days.
Wait, the Netherlands has legal magic mushrooms? That surprises me given that I’ve heard their weed isn’t quite as freely legal as their reputation makes it seem.
Technically, only "“Magic Truffles” are legal, specifically because they don’t count as mushrooms, but as far as I can tell from the article, they’ll still get you high so close enough 🤷🏻

Would be all ok with me except the sirsoft. That is polluting the nature.
