I just asked my 14 year old, who has social anxiety. Even he realizes that it is an important skill to have experience with, even though it scares the crap out of him. This seems to be a 'bubble wrapped child' problem.
As for being paid while you are treated, our health insurance short term / long term disability covered it. It topped up employment insurance which has a lower cap.
Self interest is never moral. Morality is a sense of good and bad; that does not come into play if you are helping yourself because anything you do for you is good for you.
Stocks are a gamble. That is no different than feeling sad for grandma that she lost all her money at the slot machines. You pay your money, you take your chances.
My wife had cancer twice, she was in for surgery the next week both times with radiation and chemo starting as soon as she was recovered enough from the surgery. This is the basis for my praise of the medical system here. I would surely be bankrupt by now if I were in the US.
I'd hazard a guess that it is French laws causing the problem in Quebec. They probably require all medical staff to speak French, so yeah, there will be less available.
I've lived in two provinces, both had urgent care centers where 4h was considered a long wait. Specialists around 8 months. If you go to an emergency room for an actual emergency, around 2h on average. Didn't realize things were so bad in Quebec, I wouldn't live there if that was the case.
Canadian here. Most people love our health care system and will fight to keep it. Yes there are some downsides, like some longer waits. Yet people who really need it do get care immediately. It's not really as bad as the vocal minority make it sound. Don't just take my word for it.
The sad part is, if making money can be called a "moral requirement", apparently it is more important than the truly moral cause of healing as many people as possible.
I think he means the fact that it becomes another thing to charge. Phones, and because they need to be made thin thin, a few battery packs we need to charge almost every night. Just got a new game console and to my dismay, now even game controllers charge via USB. I need a freaking 20 port USB hub as it is. Seeing as my corded headphones work just fine I don't need that extra thing to charge. Not to mention, all these things now all have finite lifetimes limited to the number of times you can charge the battery.
Taxes aren't like donating to a charity, where they should just be happy that you pay. You either pay the taxes you owe or you don't. A company that makes as much money as Apple SHOULD pay the most taxes.
I'd be totally fine with that, except it isn't feasible without some central clearing house for prices. I've always said I'm prepared to pay taxes (or prices) proportionate to the money I make. It wouldn't be fair to the rest of the country to do otherwise.
Ok then if it's not a problem for them to up all their prices and they feel it won't hurt their bottom line in reduced sales, then I don't understand why they are even coming public about this now? Just raise prices when the tariff comes into affect and let the chips fall where they may.
Honest question, how many of you feel threatened by Canada? That was the excuse he used to put tariffs on Canadian imports. Canada is a national threat. Some loophole from the 1960's. Piss poor way to show everyone he doesn't want tariffs. Then he complains when Canada reciprocates.

I forgot to add to my comment, it feels like most of the problems with it could be solved but, bureaucracy tends to wreck things.

The funny thing is that this is what UNIVERSAL serial bus was supposed to prevent in the first place.
At least there are other choices for Android phones.
Then stop buying headphones that aren't made properly.

Real code warriors don't need static types. If a variable is so badly named that the type is not clear, use type().

i find it rediculous that a company with a bazillion dollars in the bank cant eat most of the impact. geez, how much is enough for these companies?
because fair access to post secondary education is crucial for an economy full of gigs.

Yeah, I was really surprised Trump froze government wages. Not the way to convince people that the economy is red-hot.
I, for one, am tired of the "wait for your wages to go up because of this" game. We have been doing this dance since the Regan years.
The powerful know that their workers need the job. They don't care about making it more convenient to get there.
