Costs will go down. Even if staffing increases, which likely, if staffing increases, I’d see that as an even better scenario. I certainly don’t see medical staffing going down- it’s the insurance ghouls losing their jobs… and i rather see that as a good thing, too. (we’ll need some admin anyways, so we can keep the not-ghouls.)
staffing issues aside, generally, “free” healthcare (or rather, government provided healthcare) generally reduces the over all costs- in part, as you noted, by allowing far more prevention and efficiency. Also remember, in places with health insurance like the US, you also have staffing for the insurance agency, and the half-dozen agencies providing support to them, as well.
you know those things in Wrath of Khan, where they, like… go in through the ear and suck on your brain?
Yeah. no. They’re very important to keep out, and they’re called ‘ear wigs’
And there were still plenty of people who took the class to watch porn, I imagine.
Please tell me your phone has a flared base?
Careful, you’lll get your eye poked out.
The record, the GOP could, if they wanted to, have a simple-majority vote to change the rules for this particular vote, such that it would only require a simple majority to pass.
They don’t want to do that, because this shut down gives trump extreme power to determine what is or isn’t “essential”. So, ICE, FBI, law enforcement, the Military will continue working/operating without pay. same with the fuckers building the ballroom. people who are not essential- like national parks, the government’s cybersecurity guys, people that support wick or snap or HUD etc… the courts…
yeah. So. basically it’s all just a giant cash and power grab. Nazis doing Nazis shit.
In any case, if somehow they manage to not ever get a bill past, yes, eventually the government collapses and shit gets real fucked real quick.
Thats more or less what the GOP want, though. which is why they made it incredibly objectionable and refused to negotiate with the Dems.
and yes, if the government gets funded again, you will still owe taxes.
Eh.
There’s levels of “bad thing”. Stealing a cookie might be a bad thing, but it’s mostly harmless. Stealing, I dunno, someone’s life saving medication…? Probably makes the thief a bad person.
(If some one were to steal, I dunno, putin’s meds, I don’t think anyone here would be particularly inclined to accuse them, but, details.)
Words mean things. The word “criminal” means that something is against the law, or someone who breaks the law.
Street racers are criminals because they break the law. It’s as simple as that.
Now you could try and argue that they’re not bad people. But you tried that in another thread in nostuoid questions and I don’t see a need to add anything there.
Keeping a single corner of a room tidy isn’t that hard, and these are professionals, frequently making some very good money to keep that corner of a room neat and tidy. it isn’t any more of an accident, seeing something in the camera frame, than, say, all the times you see an MS laptop and it’s logo, or an apple laptop with that logo. or all the coke bottles and cans in movies and tv shows.
If you see a logo, it’s because someone paid them to show it.
this is what the poop knife was made for.
Ash seems like you might be alright.
I suggest “World Domination.” If you start in the US now, all anyone will ever say is, “Well, at least he’s not trump.”
The only real advice I have to give is depressing as fuck: You don’t actually have to like your career. “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” is a lie. It can- and will- still be work. If you’re very lucky, you won’t come to hate it, if you’re doing what you love. but eh, yeah. The number of people I know who’ve stopped being passionate about it by forty far outweigh those that stay passionate.
Look at your options for stability in the short term, with long term goals to develop into the other things you want to work towards. (Writing, for example.)
CAT.
I pick… CAT. (that is in fact an option, right?)

Sorry. Wrong pub med out of the hundreds of studies on what kind of sex ed works. Here. Have some more.

I’m not sure how you can do any kind of search on this and conclude that abstinence-only sex ed works. It doesn’t. We know that.
We know that kids are going to fuck. The only real difference is if they’re comfortable telling adults when something goes wrong; and also know if something is going wrong.
Shame and guilt doesn’t stop behavior- it causes people to hide it.
“Well, in that case, let me divulge all of our contingency plans, the exact layout and protocols for accessing camp David and everything else you need. For realism. Just don’t make us look like morons, Kay?”- secret service, maybe
You have to pay the store for it.
“Dad” does not appear to enjoy your sense of fashion.
maybe shoulda gone with the inflatable-spike-coat instead.
