DCTF has Deweyville as a 14 point favorite. I'll take the Pirates, 32-23

We schedule things for my wife all the time that way. That's just smart economics--if you physically can afford to do so. There are many simple things that shouldn't be as difficult as they are. Prescription renewals during hurricane season. If you're running low, and want to make sure you have a supply in case you're unable to get renewals due to storm effects, insurance still won't allow refills early. Our healthcare system is a mess, and ACA didn't fix anything except pre-existing conditions. As I've said, there were better ways to handle things. But, the push was on for single payer. I'm beginning to think single payer would be preferable to the mess we have now. You don't hear many griping that are on Medicare. (Except for the sometimes confusing paperwork/approval process.) I still don't agree with young people being able to stay on their parent's plan until they're 26. But, that's just me, and my son is grown. So, that is a lesser concern to me. To others, it means more. I always said ACA wasn't about actual healthcare. It was a payoff to insurance companies/lobbies to move towards single payer, and stay in their good graces for political purposes and political donations. I still think that. My dad had some things he would have preferred where he had to have a 'lesser' procedure--or medical device--because of cost, and Medicare wouldn't pay for the more expensive desire. But, for the most part, he was never denied any critical treatment for his cancer or anything else.

If the state governments could protect the Federal buildings properly we would not need to send troops. May I remind you of Seattle and the "Chaz" - took over several blocks, vandalized businesses, ran off police, rape and couple murders happened. All those businesses in that area were vandalized and closed for business. Do you recall in Minneapolis on 2020 protestors ran an entire police dept out of their building and burned it down. Would you rather your tax dollars send in troops to keep all of the above from happening or spend who knows how much more rebuilding parts of a city that if local law enforcement would have been able to do their job would of never happened?

I know everyone's situation is different. I, by choice, have put off a cat scan/MRI, whatever they were gong to do, on my chest because it's the end of the year and I have not came close to meeting my $3300 deductible. (not too serious, checking to see if I may have asthma). It makes zero sense to have the procedure this year, when if I have it in January the rest of that year all of my medical care will be free or close to it. Good thing it is not too urgent. It shouldn't be that way.....

Pirates should win this one pretty easily.

That statement right there...........failing to plan is planning to fail

Trucking, hauling liquids

Boyz, if I may ask, what field of work are you in?

And in New York City, what a crappy choice those idiots have for mayor. The devil you know vs. the devil you don't know (communist)

Yes. In many—if not most cases—I suggest we privatize services the government currently provides. At the least, move the services more to the state level. Federalism. A novel concept.

Placing US soldiers in US cities is a cost to the economy. Yes, taxes are used to pay for their services. Do you suggest we privatize the government?

As I said, they are a cost to the economy. Taxes are used to pay for their services. No different than the military. Doesn’t mean they don’t perform a critical service. I sleep pretty well with my Glock 27 in reach at night. Thanks.

I'd send my kids out 409 if I had em. 🤷🏾‍♂️📝☕

People won’t understand until it hits closer to home. Thank you for sharing. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Yes sir. im guessing u do something really bad in school, you can't go to the games.

Federal workers are the ones facing what you fear. They are the gate keepers. They do the work so you can sleep at night. They work at your USP, Low, Medium and Minimum prisons. Some are contract workers behind the fence. You really don’t know what you speak of.

Meanwhile, Kaiser employees don’t think a 21% pay increase is enough… [Hidden Content]

Very sorry to hear that, reason I asked is that for any veteran, I have always felt that the best private plans such as what you could have with a company should be available for veterans, choice of doctors, etc. No veteran should have to jump hurdles like you are doing for good health insurance, you’ve earned it. I also understand there’s the way things should be and the way they are, I just feel our government rewards those that don’t deserve it and ignores those that do, simply for votes. It’s why I’m not a fan.

Covered my dad’s as well. He denied chemo though. At 86, he said he lived well, and didn’t want to spend his remaining days going through that. He was ready to be with my mom. So, his last months were spent with us after dialysis failed to work any more.
