I've never been a "car" person. Just wanted something reliable to take me to and back from anywhere. The *only* one I ever saw and really desired was a used 1982 BMW 325. I almost bought it until a neighbor of mine that owned one informed me of the very high cost of parts and repairs here in the US. http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/848/561/2117780001_large.jpg?v=1 Then a few years later I did buy a slightly used Volvo station wagon (the smaller one) and it was pretty cool. I bought it on Friday, fully insured it on Monday, and my daughter totalled it on Tuesday. Splat! === Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooo:(((( Heh good job you love here:))) |

Friedrich Hayek is a famous economist born in Vienna, Austria, in 1899. He is well-known for his numerous contributions to the field of economics and political philosophy. Hayek's approach mostly stems from the Austrian school of economics and emphasizes the limited nature of knowledge. He is particularly famous for his defense of free-market capitalism and is remembered as one of the greatest critics of the socialist consensus..." One of Hayek's key achievements was his book The Road to Serfdom, which he wrote out of concern for the general view in British academia that fascism was a capitalist reaction to socialism. It was written between 1940 and 1943. The title was inspired by the French classical liberal thinker Alexis de Tocqueville's writings on the "road to servitude." The book was quite popular and was published in the United States by the University of Chicago in September of that year, which propelled it to even greater popularity than in Britain. At the instigation of editor Max Eastman, the American magazine Reader's Digest also published an abridged version in April 1945, enabling The Road to Serfdom to reach a far wider audience than academics. The book is widely popular among those advocating individualism and classical liberalism..." ;-P -- Best Greg |

That means > most of the population is stuffed. Most of my life I've had health insurance. Where they got me was with the annual deductible amount and they kept raising that every few years. I've never even needed to go to a doctor very often so every time I went, they filed the insurance. Then I would get a letter saying "Your charge has been applied to your annual deductible." Then I would have to pay the doctor the full amount anyway. When I became self-employed with my own policy, it started out very reasonable. About $87 per month and $100 annual deductible per person for "subscriber and one minor." No prescription coverage either. It was a very basic policy with no options available. 12 years later it had progressively risen to $427 per month and $750 deductible. In those 12 years, I paid them over $45K and they never covered anything. I paid the premiums and paid the doctors and insurance co paid for nothing. That's when I quit that nonsense. That's when I took a big risk and went without health insurance for 15 years. If I could have afforded to keep going, I would have ended up paying them probably about $100K at my older age, plus still would have paid the doctors as my annual deductible wasn't met. Big risk but it paid off. My only doctor visit during that time cost me $150 plus $30 prescription. I would have had to pay that anyway. Oh but then Obama care did cost me $800 per year for not having insurance. Good plan. Nice extra tax on the working poor. Now I have Medicare. Just part A and part B. That's actually better coverage than when I paid for private insurance. I won't ever go for all those extra parts. That's the private insurance companies coming back to fleece you again and offering you all kinds of nifty deals. Bullshit! They really are "vultures." Sorry about the long post but my story is a real "you were there" story from someone that got screwed by our healthcare system. I doubt many know about this side of the coin. ==== There is no problem with your post. At least now I can understand how it works, so thank you! |

I once opened a package of ground turkey sausage, it STANK to high heaven, so I will never eat any highly - processed FOWL products 'cuz they are, well, FOWL...chicken and turkey I both like, but not any ground fowl "mystery meat"...chicken/turkey is used as a "filler" for some products, I do not want to know the birds' provenance...amongst the worst is turkey "bacon" - YUK...!!! -- Best Greg |

And you've got to read the package ingredients on several of those 'kielbasa/smoked sausage' products as well. They contain chicken as a filler. Eckrich (spelling?) and Hillshire Farms sell the chicken and pork varieties. > Fried chicken is great though. If you can find decent chickens to > start with. Yep. |

My cat I had 25years ago looked oh so good, but I knew when we were in bed he checked the counter tops out, often could see his paw prints when the morning sun was at particularly height. The more you forbid them, the more attractive that area is to them. |

That's actually a good show! Of course, because 'Bull' (played by Michael Weatherly, formerly of NCIS) is a jury consultant (that's a real thing) so the voir dire process is extremely important to the premise. Gotta try to pick the right jury. Did you ever see the show 'All Rise'? It's on the same network. I think it's on right after 'Bull'. A new judge has to deal with all sorts of different cases. I found it fascinating that they figured out how to produce an episode of this show after TV production had practically shut down due to Covid-19. Virtual court! A non-jury trial. They used Skype or Zoom or something similar to connect everyone. Split screen. The judge was in her kitchen using a meat mallet for a gavel. The court clerks, stenographer, lawyers, everyone was connected online from home or an isolated location. The defendant somehow managed to have a laptop in front of him so he could participate from jail. Interesting way to address the current Covid-19 situation. Jill |

That episode did make me wonder what has happened to trials, etc. during this pandemic. Could it be done via virtual hookup? Until I saw this TV show it really hadn't occurred to me the criminal courts system must have ground to a halt... Jill |

Judges have a lot of power over proceedings and don't take any crap. Never wanted to be a lawyer but the few times I've gone it has been interesting. I always went for unemployment disputes. Also went to traffic court twice. That was funny. |
