Sorry chuckles, you don't get to have it both ways. People like me, who have been buying health insurance for all of our adult lives are tired of paying for, among other things, the higher hospital bills that hospitals charge us to cover the costs of treating losers like you who bet the wrong way.
Well I did chuckle when I read your Progressive screech so no offense taken. I've had insurance my entire life too and it protected me from financial risk - you know like insurance is supposed to do. Now between the sky-high premiums and deductibles Obamacare insurance, with all its extra bells and whistles I don't want or need, is all in itself a financial risk. And you think it's affordable. You must be an A-list movie actor.
You can only hear THE SKY IS FALLING!! so many times before calling BS. In 90s liberals said New York and LA would be underwater by 2015. It didn’t happen.
No one with scientific credibility in the field ever said that. You're listening to the wrong people.
Agreed. He listened to the media and the government.
Let me say it in a different way. I once heard someone say there was a "Population Bomb" and we'd all starve to death. I was a kid then and it scared me because it was all over the news. The source of that information was a book by Dr. Paul Ehrlich and he was wrong. Mr. Ehrlich is still a highly regarded scientist despite his error. So now with all the climate alarmism with its we-must-act-by dates that come and go, please forgive us when we cast skeptical eye toward every doomsday pronouncement emitted by the climate change community. And what is it, the 3rd time today I've seen this on/. Give it a rest.
Well I guess if you live in California your statement rings true, where they can haul someone off to jail for offering a straw with your drink. I bet even China doesn't go that far. At the federal level, it's getting better (as in moving away from authoritarianism). There are fewer regulations including the ones that fine me for not purchasing health insurance policies I don't want or need.
There's one hell of a lot of slashtards that are wishing comments could be deleted today.
Heh! Here's my favorite comment from PopeRatzo discussing the original study:
We were warned. Scientists told us this shit would happen, but fucking sheeple just had to believe what Republicans told them because they were white and by denying climate change, they could own the libs.
So now, fuck you. I'm living in a place that's going to be one of the last places to suffer with climate change and the rest of you over in Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana, Houston, Texas and all the shitholes that are going to suffer the most can eat shit and die. Your lives were forfeit anyway when you started voting Republican and eating oxycontin and KFC gravy bowls like your flabby disgrace of a president. We will all be better off when you're floating face down in the Gulf of Mexico.
Have a blessed day!
So much emotional capital wasted that could've been spent harassing his ex-wife.
Is the GOP really so incompetent that they would have elections stolen in a State they control the Governor's office the Secretary of State and Florida’s Chief Election Officer posts?
Broward county has had a long history of incompetence with their "Supervisor of Elections" persons. From incompetence to outright illegal vote counting processes. The GOP was watching closely and sounded the alarm. So the answer to your question is no.
Congratulations on having no medical conditions. The whole point of insurance is to pay while you have no medical conditions so that your conditions will be covered if they develop later
No, the whole point of insurance is to mitigate financial risk should a covered event occur. Obamacare has made health insurance premiums and deductibles a financial risk all in themselves.
After the Buick turns up with thousands of democrat candidate votes in the trunk, the newly blue state stays that way thanks to the same dirty tricks you are suddenly whining about.
It is good. These large employers do harm just by being large. It doesn't matter if we tax them to make them pay their fair share, or if they go somewhere else and become a problem somewhere else. They will be replaced rapidly enough, and they will not be missed. We have the talent.
You can keep the talent too. Recipient low tax Republican states don't want the influx of relocating Progressives causing the same economic
and social problems all over again. And please continue with this line of thinking. The Republican talking points are plentiful.
Your both wrong. Go and occupy the dean's office, yell and scream at the sky, threaten professor's careers, be irrational, etc. That's how it's done in "studies" programs.
Because burglar-hackers and/or the future totalitarian government would like an accurate layout of your house.
If the home you are living in has ever been on the real estate market listed in MLS in the past 15 years, then the floorplan has already been out there for all to see and sites like zillow keep the pictures up even after the sale.
And in another dispute, Dish moved AMC to a different channel without any notification right before the finale of Mad Men. The DVR didn't update either meaning you would have recorded god knows what. I caught it just in time. It was a completely petty move as their previous deal had yet to expire. That was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I cancelled Dish and went with Comcast and my own TIVO+cablecard.
Make the lawyers receive payment just like the members of the class do - with very small checks. If it's a $10 payout for the class, then a $10 million payday for the lawyer is in the form of one million $10 checks.
We will all be better off when you're floating face down in the Gulf of Mexico.
I was just doing that last Summer on my yearly scuba diving excursion. Completely enveloped in the ocean's warmth, I was in a state of bliss. Thank you for your kind encouragement as I look forward to next year's trip.
... That and tax vacant property at 1000% of the rate if it's lived in or rented.
Surprised that uber liberal government there in CA haven't invoked imminent domain to force owners of vacant land to sell to housing developers. The Supreme Court green-lighted this type of theft in the Kelo v. City of New London case. Guess NIMBYism is hard to overcome.
The tribe says otherwise. They deny him ever being a member, ever being affiliated, ever being hired by them.
Elizabeth Warren has at least got genetic markers proving deep ancestry. Note the word "deep". In this context, it means a long, long time ago.
I see no evidence this guy can claim even that.
His bombs had no way to initiate detonation. So what he built was really 1/64th of a bomb at best. So that makes him a bomber in an Elizabeth Warren sort of way.
What the hell has happened to the/. comments section over the past 10 years? This place has gone fucking crazy with right wing crybabies.
Well for one thing, many of the articles discussed in the comments section are political in nature. That brings out the crazies from all angles - not just the right wing. Purely technical discussions still have enough merit where I can learn a thing or two from them.
For the politically charged stuff, take a left or right wing comment of similar quality and see where moderation goes - it favors the left in most cases. I see it over and over again and from my right of center point of view, it gets frustrating. At least here on/. a well reasoned comment will get modded up no matter which direction it came from.
Yet another miracle "breakthrough" that won't amount to anything practical.
So what? At some point, researchers somewhere are going to hit the jackpot and we'll wind up with solar power so cheap to generate and store that energy markets will finally move away from oil & gas.
And if the Republicans keep their control after the mid-terms, say good-bye to Obamacare and the law against insurance companies turning down coverage for pre-existing conditions.
About pre-existing conditions, President Trump tweeted this yesterday:
All Republicans support people with pre-existing conditions, and if they don’t, they will after I speak to them. I am in total support. Also, Democrats will destroy your Medicare, and I will keep it healthy and well!
You can read into that all you want, but Trump has generally kept campaign promises which is one of the reasons his popularity outside Progressive group-think zones has been increasing.
And retirement - having a company that will match really helps building up a retirement. And with Mitch McConnell and other Republicans saying that the entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare are causing the huge deficit and increase in government debt, you just know they're gonna cut it.
Well entitlement programs and SS do need adjustments. For SS, the original retirement age in 1935 was 65. If you lived that long then, you were considered quite elderly. The retirement age is now 67. To keep the original intent of SS (keeping the elderly out of poverty), retirement age should be raised to 75 or 80.
And real jobs want you 24/7 these days so a second gig is just not practical. Unless you don't want to sleep, exercise, or have any down time.
I had real jobs throughout my 30 year career and not once did any of them require 24/7 availability. Some were sweatshops for sure, but guess what, instead of bitching about it I found new jobs with better working conditions.

Did the batteries leak anything? Did it leak into groundwater? How many people died? Why aren't environmentalists in an uproar? /acosta

There were consequences. She didn't get the job she wanted - President. Instead she's been permanently demoted to hideous whiner.

In different words, it will spend more than $40000/homeless/year. That does not seem reasonable.
Par for the course. Leftists just spent $20/vote in their failed attempt to get Beto to the Senate.
More corporate flight from California. Good.

Won't have to fly to them or fly them to you.
In response, Trump should disperse the imperial bureaucracies. Move the FDA to Omaha, the FCC to Tallahassee, EPA to Hawaii, etc.
Yeah but with a black population still over 50% it's going to be a crime-ridden hell hole. i hope you like gangbangers!
Give it a decade. The undesirables will be gentrified out of the way.

Come for the tech discussion, stay for the climate change berating.
Oculus founder Palmer Luckey is now tooling around on right wing defense projects
The project referenced in theoutline.com link uses cameras, infrared sensors, and LiDAR to monitor the border. So that's right wing? Give me a break.
