Wanna bet? In the good old U S of A you're already REQUIRED to buy health insurance. That was just the camel's nose under the tent. Give 'em time and they will require you to buy whatever they damned well want you to buy.
Don't say nobody warned you people about this stuff years ago.
A couple of years ago one of the projects in our city was remodeled. The cost? About $122,000.00 PER APARTMENT! That's slightly more than the median cost of homes in this area, and slightly more than my own house is worth.
Why couldn't they have taken that money and just bought houses for the residents? "Here's your free house; now be a responsible homeowner."
They didn't do that because they want the residents to feel beholden to the government. Plain and simple. Keep 'em on the dole and they'll keep voting for your side.
No, even as much as I hate Comcast, I can't go along with free internet for the poor. I can't afford to pay my bills and theirs, too. Not anymore.
Most people don't have a clue about getting into their car or starting their car when the battery in the car is dead or the battery in the key fob is dead.
There are nearly as many different schemes for such scenarios as there are car manufacturers.
It would be nice to use cash only, but you're still taking a risk carrying a large amount of cash. Law enforcement can steal it from you for no reason, and it's nearly impossible to get it back.
My house payment goes to a company in another state. There's no way I'm sending that much cash through the mail.
No, you pretty much have to have a bank account nowadays, whether it's safe from the government or not. Try keeping your balance as low as possible to minimize the risk.
The answer is to not let politicians stay in office longer than a couple of terms. Don't let them make staying in office a career. It's supposed to be public service, not a cash cow for greedy assholes. The main problem with big government is the unelected bureaucrats. They have power and answer to virtually nobody. Congress is supposed to oversee them, but usually gives them a pass.
I'm not worried about people like the good doctor. I'm worried that the virus could become a problem in Central and/or South America. Since we have no real border between us and them, it's inevitable that tens of thousands of infected (and those fearing infection) people will stream across what was an international border into the United States.
What you say is true . . . . . now. What about in a few years? Once the noose is in place around your neck, it only gets tighter. That's the way government evolves over time.
I don't mind people leaving this existence whenever they please, but let me be the judge about my own "quality of life". I'm not at all comfortable letting other people tell me when I need to die. Are you?
I'm 61 and quite healthy. My mother is a healthy 79, sees a doctor once a year, and she drives nearly everywhere. My next door neighbor is an 83 year old widow who lives by herself and drives every day. Last year I worked with a Korean War veteran who could out-walk me (had lunch with him just last week).
Then there are children and young adults in wheelchairs who will never be able to care for themselves. Would you propose killing them because their "quality of life" isn't up to some arbitrary (read: government) standard?
Everybody is different. That's what makes life so interesting. Enjoy every day you can.
How about a modern.308 bolt-action rifle with a synthetic stock? The caliber is more than adequate; the stock won't be affected by the elements; and a bolt-action is very reliable. It's extremely simple and easy to keep clean. Almost any brand will do.
How about my bank? Passwords are to be at least 8 characters (good), but I can use only uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, but no symbols allowed (very bad). I hope for the best, but I'm worried all the time.
They've definitely crossed the line into lunacy. They've totally lost touch with reality and must be living in a dream world. It would be best if we forcibly have them committed to an asylum.
Jennifer Lawrence said that she sent her nude photos to her boyfriend because she wanted him looking at her, not at porn. How many photos did he actually need to see, and why didn't she send ones of her naked body (and closeups of certain parts) without her face in the picture? She must really be one ignorant young lady!
You almost got that right. Reagan (and later, Bush the elder) agreed to tax increases followed by budget cuts. The taxes went up, but the budget cuts never materialized. Besides, what Washington calls budget "cuts" are not really cuts at all. They're just reductions in the rate of increased spending.
We've lived beyond our means for too long and we're just now beginning to see the results. Hint: It ain't good and it's going to get worse.
If you can't find something decent to watch on Netflix, then you must be one of those people who stand in line when a new movie hits the theater. There were tons of good movies made before last month.
And Netflix is a great way to watch a series. Just wait until the series is cancelled and then watch every episode in a massive marathon. No commercials!

And on the second day the power company sent him a bill.
Children are illiterate now, even with free public education.

TiVo is not the only way to record television shows. You can do it free of any charges, IF you know how.

Find out before the need arises.

Watch for it.
How would it be any different than normal photos, legally speaking?
You've already bought the clothes you're wearing.
There are pictures on the Live Science site. There's a link to it somewhere above in one of the posts.
The building was made of wood and mud, so there's not a lot of "inside the temple" to be seen. Lots of small items in the photos, though.
I'm more concerned about CVS. Where am I going to get my prescriptions filled?!?

Just arrest and convict all those thousands of politicians (Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, etc. - they're all crooked).

Advise them to pay cash for whatever they buy in brick and mortar stores, plus limit online buying to only when necessary.
I'm sure Rush is glad you don't know where he lives.
No, the definition got screwed up years ago. "Native Americans" really should mean anyone born in America (North, Central, and South America).
I was born in America. I'm a native American. Take all the modern definitions and politically correct garbage and throw it out of the window.
Well, I think they're all full of it. Ocean temps have been rising because of increased activity by underwater volcanoes. Google for it.

My whole house is already a video game. It's called "real life", and it's harder than any video game you've ever played, though it is fun at times. ;)
