Our system’s pretty much designed so that you’ll get your insurance through your employer if you’re below 65, or medicare if you’re above it. Retiring early is tough because of that unless you’ve got an alternate form of health care lined up.

Same, but considering her past, I’m willing to stick with being glad she looks happy, rather than worry about her makeup. Maybe she’s not 100%, but it looks like she’s doing good for herself.

I assume it used to be popular to farm this specific item, sell it for gold, then sell the gold for money, and that this was faster than farming the gold directly.

I am, yes.

An hour is pretty bad man, worse since that’s also an hour back, so you’ve spent over two hours just to get a shitty portrait.

It shouldn’t be, Anne misread the article she quoted. It pretty clearly lists MIDs as an example of one of our current policies which increases racial inequality, for exactly the reason you pointed out.

The solutions you mentioned don’t mention race at all, they seem to be exactly the same things Bernie and his supporters are advocating: reduce debt, and increase the social safety net. Where does racial inequality play into them?

In Fortune magazine, Josh Hoxie, director of the Project on Opportunity and Taxation and co-editor of Inequality.org, listed several such policies. They include expanding mortgage interest deductions, which promote homeownership by offering tax breaks...

What about Metromile? I found them the other day, and I’m thinking of switching to them since I don’t drive much.

“Innocent until proven guilty” is a legal term that has its place in the court house. It doesn’t mean somoene is magically innocent of crimes they’ve comitted until there’s enough evidence to prove them guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt. Just that our legal system can’t punish them until that happens.

Sounding pretty judgemental of other people’s fetishes there, HC.

As a permagray, It’s interesting that so many male commentators have increased visibility while many of us women don’t.

It’s because the grays are a flawed system designed to throw out about a dozen different babies along with a gallon of bath water. They prioritize people who post a lot, and whose posts stroke a particular writer’s dick, over writers with thoughtful commentary.

Never attribute to malice what is easily atributed to stupidity. I deal with people like her every day (except for hotel rooms instead of cars). I never get the impression that they book their rooms expecting to get the fees waived, but somehow they never seem to notice the non refundable deposit we plaster all over…

Why would you be able to contest the charge for the Uber you ordered and didn’t cancel? Or are you just complaining that it’s not easy to get Uber to give you back the money you owe them for the service they provided for you? Because that’s kind of how most businesses work.

I work customer complaints for a hotel booking website. Trust me, she, and many more like her, are just plain stupid. I can’t count how many times somebody’s called up saying they would never book a room with a non-refundable deposit, despite the four different places we told them the room they were booking had a…

Uber didn’t “clear anything up”, they gave her a good will gesture because that’s part of their job. I work for a big company like Uber, and my job is to handle cases almost exactly like this: People who book hotel rooms with non-refundable deposits, then cancel thinking they’ll get their non-refundable deposits…

It will preserve the foolish (but beloved) mortgage interest tax break for homeowners—but changes will ensure that only “people with very large charitable contributions or million-dollar homes will benefit from it.”

They also have falcons, apparently, which is what always weirded me out..

There was nothing wrong with the PSP Go. The problem was Sony’s policy on sales, rarely discounting a game anywhere near Amazon’s base price, despite the higher profit margins on digital games.
