What exactly is the problem that colonizing another planet or moon is trying to solve? This seems like a solution without a problem. And if that problem is that the earth becomes uninhabitable, what kind of moron thinks we can colonize a pl

A CT scan is fairly standard procedure for diagnosing many things. Why do doctors and hospitals need CDC permission to use it to test? This seems like a bad movie where the CDC is not doing much due to political pressure. Why can't doc

How about investing in "low- and middle-income" Americans and providing them healthcare? In addition how about providing required paid sick leave that can be taken without fear of losing one's job? These are actual things we

The hundreds or thousands of lives that could have been saved if evacuations began after the first tower was hit are hardly ever mentioned. No job is worth dying for, but apparently employers think their jobs are. I wonder what the death to

Oh, absolutely. I can't even get a straight answer out of my insurance as to when the deductible period starts. Or how many visits to a certain specialist I'm allowed. That is the most basic of information. If you call 3 different

Someone making the federal minimum wage working full time makes $15,080 a year. For an individual to be eligible for Medicaid, they have to make (for 2019) less than $17236.20 a year (138% * Federal Policy Level $12,490). So yes, in states

I ordered a p1 before Christmas. At the start of February, they no longer had a shipping date estimate. It took almost two weeks to get a confirmation of the cancellation and a refund, despite them being required by law to cancel it at that

It's definitely not for lack of hard work. Not everyone can "make it." That'd be impossible. Making it requires one to achieve a high-end job with good pay. If everyone made it, who would clean toilets, serve burgers, an

Sure if they don't know how to interview, they're going to waste their own time and still not get good candidates (or if they don't have much to offer as most companies don't). Our interviews were an initial phone screen
