Since you're money conscious, wouldn't it be better to buy fresh kale
and make your own?

They still make you wait here. You have to have the PAL to buy any gun,
but a PAL for restricted firearms to get a handgun. Even if you have a
permit to transport , as I have, that only applies between your
residence and the range, and you need a special one to take it home.
You order or pay for your gun and then the store arranges for the permit
to transport it home. Despite already having purchased several handgun I
had to wait about a month for my last one.

The cop had already used the tazer so not much juice left in it, as
the cop well knew.

Yes, we can. The politically correct can go sit on a pineapple and
spin.

It's an earth-shaking $10 a day here for jury duty. But at least the parking
is free. My company always paid us our salary and you're probably right, the
bookkeeping was probably too much of a hassle over such a pittance.

I can say I can't be missed at work. They'd accept that.

It's still considered to be the most sweeping changes to the US healthcare
system since the 60's. There is still a lot of work to be done.
 
One of my clients was bicycling around Europe when his wife fell ill. She
had to have an ambulance pick her up. The docs said that it appears that it
was not a heart attack but they wanted to keep her in for an extra day to
monitor her. My dad slipped on the ice in Sweden and shattered his ankle. He
required several surgeries and months of rehabilitation. These kinds of
hospitalizations would probably cost 10s of thousands of dollars in the US.
In the end, my dad had to pay 50 dollars and my client paid about 100
dollars. As anybody with a rational mind can see, the American healthcare
machine is critically ill.

A lot of people think that it's unfair that they should have to pay into such a system. They got theirs but it just kills them that other people might be able to get medical coverage at reduced rates. These people lack some basic humanity.
 
OTOH, they should see what the top 1% thinks of the 99%. They see them as trash and seek to squeeze profit from the trash. A national healthcare system would impede them in their goals. Luckily, most of the 99% are easily manipulated.

That sounds exactly like me. This weekend I'll be working, but I had
Thursday and Friday mainly off. I always do my work before any fun
stuff, because I don't like working with a deadline breathing in my
neck.

I keep hearing -from the other side of politics than where you are-
that the Republicans ruined his health plans and ruined the outcome.

A Dutch doctor who works in a New York hospital during the corona
crisis, says that if you're rich, you can get the best possible
healthcare in the US. But if you're poor, you're stuffed.
Bruce <bruce@null.null>: Jun 27 05:27AM +1000

>> What free stuff are you talking about? Healthcare? Medical care isn't free but it should be. Who the heck is selling free healthcare? I'm voting for that guy. That's some pretty darn exciting news!
 
>Please explain how to make healthcare free.
 
Let the filthy rich and the evil corporations pay for it :)

But your fist (one's fist) isn't that small, whereas your country is.
You can easily grow your avocados in regions where they do well. I'm
sure you do.

I like them with a bit of salt and a fried egg on top. Our own fuerte
avocados have a bit more buttery flavour, but I like them from the
supermarket too.

If you want a real cauliflower treat, mix up some yogurt and curry
powder and smear it over slices of cauliflower and then grill it.

This is one of the reasons I've been wanting to get a ricer. I've seen
techniques offered on ricing cauliflower without a ricer but... No
thanks i want a ricer.

I have had chopped up cauliflower. It is okay. I suppose it can be mixed
with other things and fried up in patties. I shall put on my thinking cap.

I whiz mine up so the bits are the same size as the rice. I steam them
for a short time and serve them with whatever else I am making:)
