why would you send your child to a school where a class called “disrespect” is on the curriculum

Hearing him talk now, I wonder if his way of “breaking” the union was just talking in incomplete sentences long enough that they had absolutely no clue what they were agreeing to.

to be fair, whatever curse is on Edmonton is so much stronger than the one on the Islanders. you’re telling me a team that picked in the top 5 6 times in a 7 year span (with FOUR #1s!) yet still managed to finish 17 points out of a playoff spot this year *isn’t* horribly cursed?

our curse is one thousand, nine hundred and forty years of Garth Snow

time to take these spicy meatballs to the cleaners, gabbagool

let’s see, at the top is Spezza/Chara for Yashin, then drafting Rick Dipietro and Raffi Torres in the first 5 picks of the 2000 draft (passing on Heatley, Gaborik, & Hartnell), having to trade Luongo (*and!* Olli Jokinen) for Kvasha & Mark Parrish since they just drafted DiPietro, traded Wade Redden for Bryan Berard,…

it’s really funny that you tried to make a funny but inadvertently mentioned an Austrian composer accused of being a Nazi collaborator

mike milbury deserves to stand trial at the hague for his crimes committed as islanders GM

So, that’s Sid, Geno, & Letang. 3 out of 23 guys. Ashton-Reese & Dumoulin can apparently run their mouths as long as they want to, and they should.

they’re gonna give him a few hours for his froth to die down, so he can be presentable on television

yes, i applaud a league using the health and well-being of their injured players as a bargaining chip. can’t wait to see what they’ll bleed out of the players union if concussion-proof helmets are ever invented!

my friend Jeff Rosenstock wrote that theme (and does a lot of the music throughout the show) - he’s been putting it on the setlist for his current tour so if you get a chance to see him live, you’ll probably hear it!

When you ignore the clearly ridiculous assumption that employers will give employees money that they are not absolutely forced to hand over Bernie was going to raise taxes on literally everyone.

The most common healthcare plans in the US are HMOs and PPOs - POS plans are used by less than half the amount of people covered by the ACA, and I don’t think it’s necessarily fair to compare the cost of a high deductible health plan to an MfA plan where there would be no money out of pocket at all.

where are you even getting 20 million people from? there’s at most 500,000 people employed by health insurance companies that would potentially be affected by this. but you’d ignore the fact that there would still be a need for people to work for the government handling claims and paperwork.

this is a quote from the CBO site:

-MFA eliminates the need for private health insurance, so instead of giving your money to Aetna and still having to pay out of pocket in the event of a catastrophic illness, you give your money to the government and everything is covered.

Interested in seeing your source, since one of the quotes you pulled cites numbers from 2002. Here’s a source from 2017 backing up the $320 a month for a single person not taking advantage of any ACA subsidies.

Bernie’s plan included a 2.2% tax for healthcare for all. So while your taxes would have gone up, you would have completely stopped paying for healthcare, which in almost all cases of middle and lower class families would be a win - seeing as the average cost of health insurance for a single person is about $320 a…

If you think that progressives are planning on enacting their ideas by raising taxes on the middle and lower classes, your attention span has holes.
