Thanks for exporting that south of the border. Or wait, is it thanks for importing that from south of the border? Either way, we all pay.

Dammit Canada, covering all the mineralized tissue in the body. What's next, eye care?

Who the eff are all these marxists, communists, socialists, etc., wielding all this incredible power in the US and how do they stay so hidden? Deep state? But isn't the deep state mostly rich white guys pulling the strings?

14 Republicans and 11 Democrats. Here's a link to the HPSCI member list: https://intelligence.house.gov/about/hpsci-members.htm

My very good friend, third or fourth generation American but 100% Mexican descent, maybe or maybe not got a little smart with the border agent. We did have to wait a few extra minutes for him in the parking lot on the US side. Meanwhile, the Middle Eastern international student with us had zero issues and whipped out two cans of beer out of his pockets while we waited. If you're out there Fahad, you rock!

Sovereign Immunity is calling and would like a word.

Yes, very much so. And essentially the whole of the US eastern seaboard and a lot of the western seaboard (where it's beach and not cliffs). However, many are second and third homes that people can afford to lose, so I don't know if sea rise provides the proper amount of impetus for change. But I do know some people who have or who are planning to sell waterfront properties in anticipation of possibly being stuck with worthless or non-existent property, so maybe. But they are mostly people for whom the loss while not poverty-inducing, would be a major financial hit.

In the 90's went to TJ with some friends who attended San Diego State University. At the club we drank warm Tecate with ice cubes. There were almost naked women on trapeze swings and porn playing on TV's throughout the venue. It was pretty wild. The police all carried assault rifles. At the end of the night there was a mass of (mostly underage) young people processing through the border. Just had to show your driver's license to get back into the US and there were no swipe machines to validate whether the license was real (that I recall)--just had to look like your photo. You were wise to keep your head about you while in TJ, but I don't recall feeling unsafe. (But also was young and dumb.) Do kids still go there to party?

And here I thought just the sugar content was the issue. Welp if I needed another sign that it's time for that colonoscopy, I do no longer.

I wonder why calling it pop made it only to far western NY and then soda in the rest of Upstate? There was a lot of trade between Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, especially with the advent of the Erie Canal.

I suspect no significant change will occur until wealthy people from wealthy countries are forced to abandon homes in coastal areas, or some similar worldwide phenomenon occurs.

One might think so based on real world application; however it's true. And while true, I don't recommend it as a first line defense.

Yes, this guy is my spirit animal--if I ever walk into the woods to disappear and live off the land. Or the neighbors as the case may be.

I got it and do also appreciate the /s just in case.

You're right! Sloppy on my part.

And I'm not disagreeing with you. I will however point out there is Medicaid for the poorest.

It was also meant to help people with "pre-existing conditions." Which it has, immensely. Prior to ACA one could not leave, or it was prohibitively expensive to leave the health insurer one had when first diagnosed with a chronic condition, and therefore could also be unable to leave an employer if said employer provided health insurance. Further, one could hit a payment cap and then be uninsurable, and if a payment was missed one would get dropped and then became uninsurable. I'm guessing millions if not tens of millions now have insurance who otherwise would not. Plans are subsidized based on income which is helpful.

Ho hum just another day in America. People kill people, thoughts and prayers, Mental health (but we can't pay for better mental health care cause then you're stealing my money to give to the crazies), etc, et al, ad nauseam.

I support unions but if you commit a crime associated with the union, don't let the steel door hit your ass on the way in. It would be refreshing if 30% of America felt the same about other criminal leaders.

So still no evidence against Joe? Cause frankly I could care less about whatever shenanigans his offspring get into.
