I am not whining... Just funny. I guess that justifies you jumping in. You have a Hollywood script writer for your primary source. Nice!

Boy... You guys sure come out of the woodwork to defend each other.

I am not that jaded.

This is what happens when gov't is run like a business. Corruption. In business it isn't necessarily illegal to get dirt on your competition. It is in gov't against your political rivals the way Trump was attempting. There simply are two different people in our country. The ones that want to turn the clock back to rampant corruption, abuse of power and boot licking a central authority figure, ie: "CEO." AND then there are the ones who think it's not okay to run the country like a crooked business. We really are at an ethical crossroads in this country. Almost split right down the middle with the populace. Then sub divided by city and country.

That too. Hate when the CMOS battery goes dead.

Crap, 3 pages and no little guy who plays football!

My pacemakers takes CR44s. So does my laser sight on my National Guard issued weapon.

Proper English please. I responded to: "...what doesn’t fall under “general welfare." Nothing. Coupled with "what doesn't"... Means "everything" Dr. Spock.

Times change. The Constitution is a living, breathing document. Because idiots like you would have hated, fought. Why was slavery issue kicked down the road 70 years?

What are you an idiot? Of course healthcare existed. https://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/health/ Washington was obsessed with earlt death: "To try to prevent an early death, Washington exercised, ate and drank moderately, attempted to get enough sleep, and avoided tobacco. Even with these healthy habits, Washington was afflicted with a number of serious illness, but he did live to be 67." It was Martha: "As the primary caregiver, women were usually knowledgeable in some 18th-century medicine from creating rubs and herbal remedies to delivering babies. There were also a number of common treatments often performed without doctors, including bloodletting, purging, blistering, and sweating." Nothing... Especially something as important as 21st Century Medicine.

At least you're living up to your American birthright as having oppositional disorder. Fight tyranny! Even if it's your family's. We're all rebels.

Healthcare promotes the general welfare of the country. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Healthcare promotes the general of the country. How do you make the labor of another a right? You gotta be kidding, right? Providing for common defense is forced labor. So is promoting general welfare.

No. Ecclesiastes 5:10-11, judges: "10 Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless. 11 As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owners except to feast their eyes on them"

Yes. Because avarice is a sin. Giving isn't.

Not saying all. He dominated. Size too.

So nice watching hockey with no advertising every where, boards, ice, etc... Goalies kinda sucked years ago. Some don't even Look like they were trying. Not taking anything away from #11 though. Yeah... That just shows you how crooked the NHL has always been. Proof that it was a farce since day one.

Is it guaranteed to prevent this: I guess I have to be against it. Trigger away!

Anti-Avarice

I would agree. Except I haven't flipped. It's not up to me to decide "who needs assistance." I don't hate like that. I consider that none of my business. Fiscally more conservative... But indifferent to money. Easiest thing in the world to make or let go of. That's most certainly NOT the source of my attachment. Money, taxes, etc... Sorry if I believe it shouldn't be your's either. It's the root of all evil. I am pro-Christian... But not over the top whacked out religiously.

Pro-socialist. But, not that extreme. More less a New Dealer. Left of center, off of the strip... Sometimes rocker. Okay most of the times rocker.

I think with self checkouts... It's 4:1. There is still an overseer working 4+ registers... You're just helping them. Yup. And I hear it's very parasitic. You gotta hustle. I respect the hustle. Yet... Once again, wages in this country still lag 8% behind production. That ain't right. Go all self check... People will rip off left and right. In my Hood, they actually tore them out. LMAO...

Do you have enough $$$$$ to keep your brakes up, oil changed and that pesky Check Engine Light off?

You can rent/lease a vehicle from Uber. Even get a phone. From what I hear... The system is even more parasitic than the old cab companies. I'd rather take my chances with a dispatcher like Louie and mechanic named Latka than 3 guys leasing a vehicle and doing zero maintenance. Heck who knows if that "clean" car @KD in CA is jumping into w/his wife and kids even has decent brakes.

As I wave my hand in front of face: "It's all about me!" Yeah... But pollute the world going the private contractor root. The world is your dumpster over your time, & convenience. You'll be dead, you won't see the consequences because Jim "Iggy" Ignatowski isn't driving you with a company cab and placard. Hope you don't get smeared, end up a parapalegic. ?? Don't get me wrong. That's great... But it's the in between to full automation. Then what are we going do when the $$$$ ends up in less and less hands of the individual? Maybe we will be dead. But the end game isn't pretty. We gotta an engineer. Probably degreed... Moonlighting. What's next?

Wow... Crazy.
