  1. Another, not so much funny... but share worthy ‘I Am Bitterly, Bitterly Disappointed’ in You, World’s Best Father Tells Children in Heartwarming Letter http://gawker.com/5963418/i-am-bitterly-bitterly-disappointed-in-you-worlds-best-father-tells-children-in-heartwarming-letter Should be an open letter to a lot of the 'adults' in my generation.
  2. $900 is $30/day for all of you to eat... you think you could 1/2 that by buying "normal" people food? Save $450/mo... or a lease on a Mercedes-worth of money. How much perspective do you want? I mean, the best way for you is probably to try 3 months worth of buying "cheap junk" food and see what those costs are, and then figure out if the additional spending on the local organic stuff is worth the moral highroad and how your body actually feels compared to eating the slop the rest of us eat. If you could actually tie the additional spending on 'good' food to reduced spending on other health areas (healthier checkups, reduced risk of diabetes, etc), then you'll see hard numbers. The problem there is no one ever accounts for what diabetes costs because they never plan on getting it... so, cost avoidance isn't counted as a 'savings' because people doesn't usually view it from that perspective. And then after buying all this 'good' food, you still get diabetes or some other disease (like cancer) from the pesticides and things used on organic food, then it's a REAL kick in the organic nuts from a cost perspective. So, is organic food a good value? For some people it is, for others' it's not. But, you're looking at short term costs against long term savings.

  4. If the conservatives had their way, your health insurance wouldn't even include birth control for your slut* wife. *Rush Limbaughs words.

  10. "The goal for the corporations is to maximize profit and market share. And they also have a goal for their target, namely the population. They have to be turned into completely mindless consumers of goods that they do not want. You have to develop what are called 'Created Wants'. So you have to create wants. You have to impose on people what's called a Philosophy of Futility. You have to focus them on the insignificant things of life, like fashionable consumption. I'm just basically quoting business literature. And it makes perfect sense. The ideal is to have individuals who are totally disassociated from one another. Whose conception of themselves, the sense of value is just, 'how many created wants can I satisfy?' We have huge industries, public relations industry, monstrous industry, advertising and so on, which are designed from infancy to mold people into this desired pattern." -- Noam Chomsky
  11. Income based govt IDs... each tax bracket would have its own color. All black Friday deals would be restricted to certain colored IDs.
  12. I hope Obamacare covers paranoia.
  13. Or... just blame Obama... pot/kettle.
  14. Lick my taint chodestool
  15. Then shut your pie hole felcher.
  16. Hrrmmm... then you're going to have to explain why you used the words "small" shop and "large" business to differentiate them if size and the insured base doesn't matter...
  17. So... you're saying if you can spread costs over a broader base (*cough* socialism *cough*)... you can get better coverage dollar for dollar?
  18. Weird how her UNION benefits are better than yours huh... just weird.
  19. He can't control if you have an a$$hole employer or insurance company that will milk the cow dry until they're absolutely forced to comply.
  20. Where are HSA accounts going to be banished? That'd be something I'd be interested in since everyone at my employer was forced to go to an HSA instead of a traditional plan... they cost about 50% less than the old traditional plan, but it's basically maintenance and catastrophic coverage... the intermediate or people that need pharmacological assistance are kind of screwed.
  21. Vote with your dollars!! Find a different pharmacy.

  23. That's probably true. Overzealous OSU grad painted his Caddy to honor his alum, but the Michigan State student that was supposed to top his tank off totally did the math wrong and it ended up on the tracks. Of course, the Michigan alum was operating the train, because actually requiring them to "steer" would be mental overload, so throttle and brake is near max brain capacity for them... and even though the Michigan operator saw the car miles away, he still didn't have the wherewithal to react and get the train stopped. Pretty sure the guy in this clip is another Michigan alum... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdctnPIR5kA
  24. First time since I've been full time employed that my company hasn't raised insurance premiums. I'm paying the exact same rate as last year.
  25. I survive on keystrokes and anger. Oxygen and food is for you people. Getting swingset aggravated enough from my office chair on my day off to say And rant on about my perceived views, along with putting words in my mouth - since he knows me so well, just shows me that my work here is never done. I also sense bitterness about education and income level. Perhaps it's along the lines of "I need these people to keep making minimum wage, so I can feel superior because I make more... the closer these poor people get to my wages, the less I'll be able to judge them". I dunno... perhaps.
