If you work contracts exclusively, what do you think is the best plan for insurance? Any preferences?" Canada, failing that, France. Seriously, we need to pass HR676, it would be the greatest economic stimulus ever.
I live in Washington DC and you don't need a car to do any of those things. Also, I learned to sew. While I no longer make my own clothes, sewing gives you an eye for how clothes look on you, so you can pick things out from catalogs and know what they will look like. I have not tried on clothes in a store since 2007. In any case in much of the country Peapod will hook you up with one of the local grocery stores.
But entertainment is. I find plenty of entertainment online, but everyone has a different view of entertainment. Basically I decided that cable TV was an annoyance.
I agree. I hate going to the store and do so only rarely. Even with delivery fee it is cheaper to buy your groceries online, especially if it means you can do away with your car. I don't have a car, because not only do they cost too much $, they are too much of a headache.
true enough, and the meals would be far more healthy. It is just that I am so glad I cut cable tv. It is not just a question of saving money by not paying to cable, you don't realize how horrible it is until you give it up for a while, and then watch it at someone else's house, or a hotel lobby, airport or whatever. Almost all of cable tv is hideous. You need a decent internet connection and a cell phone (iPhone is nice, but you don't really need one) and you really have your communications needs taken care of.
true enough. If they ever stream sports from their web sites it is all over for cable tv. Sports is the only thing worth watching, unless like me you don't care about sports.

Just as you say. Yet I am not sure that making war on your supply chain is much of an improvement.

OK, but could we at least have jet packs?
...it's when we miss that we cause problems. the most succinct explanation of why this ain't such a great policy.

It is just possible that geezers have learned a thing or two.
anyone who is interested can look up security vulnerabilities by vendor.
RIM does have one thing going for it, Blackberry is the smartphone of choice for our political elite. I hope RIM can turn this around.
We are like Argentina during the dirty war.

If I was unemployed cable TV would be the FIRST thing I cut.

People can easily spend upwards of $500/mo on restaurants, depending on their habits & tastes. They can, but they usually don't.
cell phone does not necessarily = iphone, or any smart phone.
