It is. My friend gets them. Last time she thought her appendix burst.

Hey man, free market solutions and shit.

I have a friend that sells private insurance in Canada. His company once chartered a private jet from Florida to take a Canadian man home for care because that was cheaper than paying the US healthcare costs.

I would also like to call attention to this story.

I’ve lived in two countries with government run or socialized healthcare systems. I never had any complaint. Hell, after playing a rugby game in France I ended up with free healthcare because the doctor couldn’t be bothered with the paper work. “I’ll sort it out” was all he said.

The costs of just having insurance are…

No ya, I lived in Seoul. That lady is from a cult. Its a cult. A culty cult.

They were frequently in my area for the first 2 years I was there.

So much this. MLK was far more radical than people remember. I wish they did. Poor guy is now a crudgel that white folk, like myself, can beat black folk about because “MLK was all about peace.” It’s the go to way for people to dismiss black protest and in the eyes of many is a way to instantly delegitimize it.

Nothing is sacred in America except profit.

I was really hoping they would go “Nothing really matters anyway! Drink Diet Coke!”

That’s it?

I thought most people in New York City were “writers”.

My cousin just moved to New York without a job in place. Whats the percentage of 20 somethings supported by their parents so they can pretend to live some bohemian live style?

Can’t you basically agree to live there if you promise to be a full time cosplayer?

Do New Yorkers talk about anything else besides how brave and hip it is to be a New Yorker?

Asking for friend.

Some Minnesota teachers have recently tied their stalled negotiations and decrease in school funding to local tax breaks for corporations.

And rightly so.

I just want to follow him around all the time whispering “There is nothing good about what you do and you know it.”

Retirees, people from Portland and Seattle getting out of dodge. Lost of opportunity to start a business.

The population has stayed pretty consistent. I think in 1890ish there were about 8k residents, theres only about 10k in the city today.

I moved here from Seattle, there was a 900 square foot place in Queen Anne for 899k.

PAying 1000 per square foot per home is crazy.

Here, 10 years ago, housing prices hovered around 150k. Astoria has since had a boom of people wanting to move here. There’s really no industry here outside of logging and fishing.

I enjoyed some of the bars that are just in old houses. Cool set ups.
