Not a one. But... I have had many conversations with people who feel they have "earned" healthcare because they "worked hard" and finally obtained a "job with benefits". And this is exactly why those same peop

I used corner reflectors made from roof flashing and cardboard on mine. Worked really well to get the signal from one corner of my apt to the other.

Of course not. They _created_ this problem.

It should, I would assume. But for some reason, it seems nobody is enforcing consumer protections like they used to. Pretty soon they'll take the stickers off mowers warning people to not put their hand under it while it's runnin
