But if the people who make the drugs and sell the insurance are getting tax breaks, they will sell drugs and insurance for less, which helps the customer in the end. #trickledown

Pardon my ignorance...but where is the benefit in this that makes it better than the ACA? (I’m personally done calling it Obamacare) People wanted to b!tch about it so much, yet I can’t see any redeeming value in ANY of this.

Question I already know the answer to: Why are both previous and current administrations coupling health care reforms with the insurance companies? I thought the point for both plans was to get more people health care, not health insurance.

Appropriate screen name is appropriate. Hate to sound like I’m taking VW’s side in this but man do I not feel the least little bit bad for them telling this dude to fuck right off.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Like the guy who was told that metalwork was a good career choice only to have his manufacturing job got moved overseas because of tightening environmental standards far beyond his control. Except he can’t go back to school because he’s needs to work two jobs to keep the lights on.  What a shortsighted jerk he must…

Maybe they didn’t stay at a minimum wage job but were forced into it. Say their nice job had to lay off employees or the company went belly up. say they were retired but their benefit package was cut and had to go back to work. There aren’t always replacement jobs in your field available. It is ironic you call them…

The problem is that you trust companies far too much to “do right.” At almost all levels, even middle management and engineering, workers are often underpaid, if left unchecked. Even as a Mechanical Engineer, I’m currently making less than I ever did. The silver lining is that I’m important enough to my company that…

Nope ... 75% or more of the workforce will be replaced by machines. Touch screen ordering system, swipe your card or feed it some bills and get your food from the one or two people working in the back actually putting the order together. It is coming no matter what, it is better in every way for the McDonald’s owner…

That is an incredibly rude, disrespectful and plain untrue thing to say. He made poor decisions because he’s a highly skilled technician? Come down off your high horse, I think the air is thin up there.

Nobody wants to work for you for free.

Roughly 24% of hourly workers at (or below) the Federal min wage are teenagers. That means the majority (about 76%) are not teenagers.

Dude you are wrong from the very first sentence to the very last.
