How many months of your own service can you pay for with the cost of those components???

This doesn’t matter - it’s an irrelevant metric.

Have you looked at what you’ll actually pay for M4A? You’ll pay 4% of everything over $29K. That means you’ll pay $6,840 in M4A taxes if you bring in $200K total... That’s $131 / week, likely WELL ABOVE what you pay in premiums currently. AND you current coverage is likely BETTER than what M4A will be. Medicare is…

So you’d rather let the government do the exact same thing (and even worse)!?

That’s just idiotic... Why do you think the gov’t would do anything different than your employer?

You still pay for Medicare... Ol’ Bernie even says himself that anyone making more than $29K annually will see a tax increase to cover his planned expansion of Medicare. Don’t be so naive... If you currently have no insurance (meaning you don’t pay a premium) or you have employer-provided insurance, you will pay more…

You’ll still have to pay for it. You’ll either pay more in taxes or in premiums; take your pick.

They are not “free” - someone is paying for them.

It IS an issue, it’s just one that the tax payers are forced to account for...

You definitely don’t have to tell them anything about your trade if you don’t want to, but there are cases where telling them would help you out.

The NTSB is self-serving and short-sighted in their condemnation of the NHTSA.

2nd Gear:

But it’s not about “climate change” - we can’t do shit about that anyway, just look at history - it’s about controlling the population...

The “footprint” issue needs more coverage.

If you don’t get a flu shot, are you “anti-vax?”

I would agree, yes. I left that place as soon as I could... Most people I worked with were good and decent people, but the snakes definitely ruined it for everyone...

If you lack physical/cognitive abilities, you should not be able to make any decisions for yourself. There are already a plethora of things in place to handle such situations. Don’t confuse a “selective disability” for a real one.

It’s the banks who are being taken advantage of.

Predatory towards whom? The lenders are the ones being victimized here...

LOL. Yes!
