Usually blue is drinking water, yellow is gas (or other flammable substances) , green sewer, and orange utilities like cable TV. I’ve also seen people spray bright green or bright orange to point out tripping hazards, like a sidewalk that has lifted in a section.

Wow. Margaret Atwood was exactly right. Men really are afraid women will laugh at them.

When I started in the semiconductor industry, they made us sign a piece of paper acknowledging that semiconductor fab workers had higher chance of miscarriage and birth defects. Back in the old days you had open vats of nasty chemicals all over the place, and you would be breathing in this stuff 12 hrs at a time (12…

This about ACTUALLY making health insurance affordable — as opposed the Obama version where you can’t afford the thing you’re required to buy.

You know, you’re right.

But there are states that require you to buy car insurance or pay an uninsured fee. Same thing.

Wait until ChrisB97 hears about all those roads he never drive on!

Because young single men never father children and when they do, they never help out in raising those children or paying for their expenses. That is all the mother’s problem, right?

and if they go to an emergency room, and can’t afford the services they’re provided, guess who is picking up the tab, sport.

Yes, those things necessary to the sustainable welfare of the country where those same young men were quite likely educated and enjoy employment.

“He said this is fair to young and healthy people, who can now “pick and choose” their insurance”

There is no difference between healthcare and health insurance in this country. In order to have access to healthcare, you must have health insurance. You, as an individual, do not have the leverage to negotiate with the oligopoly of healthcare in this country. Unfortunately we use private companies to collectivize…

What if you are on the no baby plan and suddenly find yourself pregnant?

Preach, sister! Everything in the US healthcare system costs 30% more than the comparable items and services in a standard industrialized democracy, like Germany. It’s frighteningly exact: hospital stays, 30% more; doctor’s fees, 30% more; prescription drugs, 30% more.

It’s weird, because we don’t ask for 100% certainty anywhere else. “The prospect that a seat belt would always prevent a traffic fatality is preposterous.” “The prospect that an antibiotic would always prevent a bacterial infection is preposterous.” “The prospect that education would always prevent appalling ignorance…

I am constantly infuriated by the wistful, “Oh, I would take Dubya back; he wasn’t so bad, etc.” Wasn’t so bad? He presided over a completely evil administration which is responsible for spreading terrorism much more effectively than 9/11. He is a war criminal.

Oh, so in a year then.

To admit to voting for Trump was a mistake takes a level of self awareness that Trump supporters do not possess. They have bought into the Amway. The time share in Boca. The pyramid scheme. They have paid for the extended warranty on their leased Toyota Avalon. They are the temporarily inconvenienced future…
