    health insurance with no lifetime cap? Does that exist?

    Happens everywhere, thanks for the story. Here's another story.. Wife had cancer twice; both treated successfully and we get to have a life after.

    Oh yes, silly me. You'd just come running back to Canada if it came to that.

    Grocery stores don't give away food for free. Most people live paycheck to paycheck. No job means no money means no food.

    So pay, easily, 10K to move (long distance moving is expensive) and hope you get a job in a place with a more depressed economy.

    Well, taking a day off to go to job interviews might mean not eating for the next month... so how free are they to move around, really. Last time I checked, human beings needed to eat more than once a month.

    I guess that's cool if you go to stores and like being at stores all.. the.. time. Me? I like to stop in a park when I stop. You keep drinking the kool-aid.

  11. Nothing new for cigarette companies, alcohol companies and bars and taverns.

  12. Your idea is ridiculous, because of the very premise that rich people work hard and poor people don't. They don't call it a sweatshop for nothing.

    You did give me an idea though, maybe there should be a subset of necessities that are cheaper for people of lesser means.

  13. Not another industry-wide patching, I hope. I can't take another industry-wide patching.

    A company philosophy won't work if people are idiots and use it to serve their own agenda. News at 11.

    In the US they have 'internship', where people don't get paid at all. That's just wrong.

    Very difficult for someone without a certain amount of wealth behind it. The reason why these companies do this is to keep more generous companies out of the market. You have to fight fire with fire. Jeff Bezos could change this but not just anyone. A normal person could go sell the idea to investors but then you wouldn't profit much from it anyway.

    Also, I'd like to add that these jobs, once you have one, more frequently pay only enough to keep you reliant on said job and not one penny more.

  20. I have no problem with the company defending itself either... just according to the rules. The family who has had a member die... I expect them to be a little less rational.

    Rampant bias.. like reporting on the second fatal crash in a car that is supposed to be so technologically advanced that accidents are a rare occurrence? Yeah, that's pretty bad.
