And the only thing that matters: "Trump's little butthole gremlin crawled out of his crack to comment: Lies! Democrat Lies! He never said this!!" and all the Magoos nodded in agreement at the absolute truth provided by an unbiased cult member.

Wtf are funerals that expensive?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

They can be, sadly. It depends where you live, where you have someone buried, and what services and coffin and whatnot you get. But yeah, the funeral business in the US is pretty crazy greedy. $60k is definitely on the higher end. According to a quick Google, my state's average funeral cost is around $8k, with the total cost (including mortuary services, etc) around $20k.

Yeah but it's gotta be cheaper for Mexicans, right? (/s, obviously)

The hell. What if your wage is 10k a year. Ie. you’re on disability benefits or social security. Will my family have to bury me in the backyard?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That is the average, not the median. The median looks a lot different (cheaper):

Not allowed to do that

But cremation is cheaper

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

We don’t really have a couple thousand saved up to throw at a cremation either. Urgh. Capitalism sucks.

Like he'd pay any bill ever

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

Aw he's trying to shout like a lil tough guy but he's just unhinging that beta jaw for the ol "arnold palmer", as he calls it.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago

“It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f---ing Mexican!” Is this trump admitting to murdering mexicans? Or at least knowing how much it cost to bury them afterwards?
