Retailers do it because they pay a penalty when a chargeback happens and payment processors will cut ties with them if their fraud rate is too high.

He’s running both the hospital and the insurance company. And it’s apparently good quality insurance, so they aren’t skimping on his treatment. There’s no way both the hospital and the insurance company can be profiting from this guy getting all the bones in his body broken. Not at the same time.

In the US, people consider any public sector job to be working in/for the government. Judges, Legislators, the president, TSA security, Park Rangers, Cops, Clerks at the driver’s license office, etc. would all be considered government roles. Sometimes you need to clarify if you mean federal government or state government.

The president, his staff, and his political appointees are called the administration.

I don’t know how many conservatives wake up in the morning with the feeling that everything they do is just to make some rich guy richer until they eventually die. Because why would they be a conservative at that point?

It’s not that your nose can’t taste very much. It’s like the other three, eating a nose won’t taste very good.

You’re supposed to get to the nose and think about how it definitely wouldn’t taste good. Then you think about how it doesn’t really smell that much better than you imagine it would taste. And then you go “Ahh. Smells! My nose is good at smelling!” and then die laughing at the hilarity of the wordplay.

Every place I’ve been to with a self serve soda fountain across the US has done free refills. Even a lot of places with the fountain behind the counter did free refills if you asked.
