I guess I'm person 2? I think that's not really what I was saying. Here's my personal experience - I had a single parent who always worked and always had health insurance through her employer. In her 50s she got hurt and coul

maybe some mega insurance was against obamacare, but a lot of them wanted it to continue because it was providing steady business. most individuals liked it for the changes like kids being on parent's health ins till 25.

It might work for some people. Many people don't have a spouse providing health insurance - without that it's drastically different. Probably your spouse has a reliable job so you can weather the danger of not having work when a c

Just bury it out back, we'll clean it up later just like we did in Hanford. No problemo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site . More seriously, we can afford to have a small amount of nuclear waste there, but

But you are giving up their fingerprints to the government. That's one thing that really bugs me about those programs. I want to remind everyone of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Mayfield . They arrested him

I'm on the east side too. Seattle has many more providers than the east side. Where I am there is only Comcast and much slower dsl (20mb). DSL comes with a bandwidth cap. I have the standard comcast 1tb/month limit, but with an xb

People have wanted to do the same thing in Washington state, cut it off at the Cascades say. To avoid moving the electoral college, you have to split into 3 states for almost always one way states. But the other parts of the state are sucki

But also those large bodies provide a certain amount of safety when transferring money, so you can see where it went or if a transfer got lost. That's not true with crypto always, people are on their own. There are endless stories of b

Building rail on a non-fixed "floating bridge" is probably expensive too :-)

by Jesus_Jones 9y ago
Replying to my own note, the cost is controversial, and plenty of people don't want to spend money on infrastructure, or have endless arguments over we'll just use driverless cars, only spend money on roads, or only spend money on

It is taking way too long. But there are reasons. (1) There is a limit on the amount of bonds that they can have bid out at a time. (2) they had to do a lot of tunneling. (3) the next segment involves building over a floating bridge. Light

I disagree, I think there are some clear ideologies. Support for women choosing whether to have abortions is in one camp, support for so called unborn children is in the other. Diversity is in the dems of course, the Republicans want to pro

Breaking up the big liberal states has been proposed by conservatives, because they want to get more conservative leg members. We'd need to break up conservative states too. There has been discussion of breaking Seattle off into it&#x2

it isn't a binding agreement if there is no treaty. I'm sure russia had some treaties saying don't invade georgia, but they did. The old soviet union gave Crimea to Ukraine and Russia took it back by force. That was part of a

Hah, this is a great interview! [You can't really trust someone who calls themselves a data scientist, they are just taking that exciting and financially rewarding name], loosely paraphrasing. Too bad it is anonymous. It totally fits m

Hah, being from Arkansas, we always said "Thank god for Mississippi". Arkansas was often 49th in many scales of poverty, MS was 50th. I'm sure Alabama has issues too.

This article is irritating. Let's break apart these powerful and successful companies. We'll put their big moneymaker into its own companies, and let the little pieces die. Google puts search into one company, android into another

I don't mean any offense, but she comes across as someone who doesn't have a good grasp on reality. If you jump around and can't explain what you are doing all the time, maybe you have lost it. Or they are a brilliant writer

It has to do with civ. in that with enough civ. a lot more of us have enough food and free time to have a little leisure time. It might be only working 5 or 6 days a week, it might be we survived heavy industrialization into the post period

What I was trying to get across is that Washington state doesn't have income tax or capital gains, we only have sales tax and home owners taxes. California has all of those, I believe.

I disagree. Republicans are ideologically opposed to welfare, and they should pretty quickly use their effective political advertising to go against this. Just like global warming hurts you later, loss of jobs for the non-rich category of p
