They might be over-qualified, actually.

Yes, but capitalism is an economic model that aids and abets greed. Where greed is rewarded almost exclusively.

You might ditch, but they have enough data that says enough other people aren't going to.

Just remember whenever you're annoyed by something and think "why is this a thing? This annoys me so it shouldn't happen", there's thousands of other people who can live with it or just don't give a shit.

That's the beauty of it, you can worry about both!

It's been a while since I've had supplementary procedures, so that's good to know.

Now I just have to wait for all nine (and a half) bills after emergency services.

Considering how fractured medical billing is these days, often the techs contracted by your in-network doctors office are actually out-of-network.

Isn't medical billing fun?

If explaining a joke makes it not funny, it was never funny in the first place. It was either just referential or based on shock value.

This you?

Same as it was on reddit, but slightly more self-righteous about it.

That's odd, considering the immigration was before the crisis by about a month and a half.

Tell that to all the super users.

So the immigration event was a precurser to the Cuban missile crisis?

People who drink moderate amounts of wine regularly tend to have higher income, and thus better health in general. At least that's the last generally accepting hypothesis I last saw.

Corrupt governments like capitalistic shitbags.

Yes, but those state and local elections have an effect both on how your state and local area does... as well as how those national elections are held. They are far more important than you give them credit for.

Don't downplay them just because they don't get national coverage, especially when they're going to have significantly more impact on your daily life.

The president sure gets the credit for a lot of things (the president signed this into law, the president enacted this policy) but in reality Congress makes most of that a reality.

There is also accountability... but only if the congress acts on it. Which is where that whole "vote more than once every four years" thing comes in. Congress has power... we just have not elected people who use that power responsibly.

That's probably at least a distance of five to six feet. And not even in front of him.

If you think you only get a choice once every four years, that's part of the problem. There's elections every single year, many of which you have more choice and more power over.

Maybe if people showed up to vote more than once every four years we'd actually see some effective change.

To a degree. It will adapt only so far. If you give it more than it can handle on a regular basis you're doing more harm than good.
