Your error: Voting for a person, not policy. There.

Don’t know about you, but I vote for policy, not a person. But you do what a lot of Americans do, vote for a personality, and that’s why Americans seem significantly dumber than the average world citizen.
Trump is 3 years younger. Biden may outlive him by 10 years for all we know.
his voice was weak, he stumbled over making coherent sentence multiple times, and he just had a blank, open-mouthed stare when between questions.
And apparently that matters more than the blatant lies and non-answers coming from the other side. Gotta say, Americans do seem significantly dumber than the average world citizen.
Sounds like this deal is on thin ice already. Not surprised.
Nobody wants planes that fall out of the sky and lose sections mid-flight? Why not?
I think you skipped US Government 101. In this country, if you’re not voting blue, you’re voting red.
I’m never going to be on the side of Hamas, but there’s no need to make a mockery of something that will surely involves civilian casualties. Shame on her.
I’m 7-3. I eat lunch at my desk while I work so I can leave early.
That is the unfortunate truth about doing business as a startup in the US, isn’t it?
I wonder now many businesses never get off the ground because people have to make these decisions.
Thanks for the suggestions. We have been thinking about having my partner switch jobs to something that provides better healthcare coverage. But that could take a while and put the business opportunity at risk.
I don’t like that.
I was actually part of a startup in Europe some years ago. Healthcare was not part of the equation.
It would work anywhere, but the opportunity I have is in the US and moving overseas right now is not really an option.
I do feel discouraged that it’s the healthcare system that’s holding back my business opportunity. Shouldn’t be like that.
Yeah, that’s also what I’m thinking. It’s just so sad that the US healthcare system is the thing that’s holding back business. Seems counterintuitive. I was just hoping someone knew of a good workaround.
I guess one option is to save more and risk losing the business opportunity.
I can, but it’s still outrageously expensive compared to my current situation. It would put a lot of financial stress on us in a situation that’s already stressful in every way possible.
We have some issues too.
Very true. But so do Europe and Canada.
What next tool are you talking about?
Guns are specifically designed to kill people as quickly and efficiently as possible and at great distance. Take that tool away and you put some serious limits on the will to kill.
The will cannot drive the action without the tool.
This is the dog equivalent of “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”
But without the gun, no one would be killed by the gun.
This thread must be mind-blowing for Americans.
