Those who've died cleaning up 9/11 number far more than those who died in NYC on 9/11

I'm going to have to be a little more optimistic than that. We'll find a way to get through the next 4 years and hire a new boss in 2020.

The new boss better be young, he/she will have lots of work to do.

We'll be OK. I don't think any President has ever really affected my life personally, that's why I don't really care who it is.

You're actually correct to a degree. I'll say they haven't had a big affect on my life personally, because I had work most of the time.
But for those who can't find work or are old or disabled on fixed income, it could be miserable.

I could see that, Scott Walker is our governor and he's been doing a bang up job.

unrelated...any of you believe the 911 buildings fell after being painted with thermite? the way they fell like demolition causes lots of speculation and has me wondering if it was our own government finding reason to go to war...

no matter the loss of lives is a sad reminder

Health care does not suck the insurers do. You can not get medicare coverage from your spouses contribution to SSA no matter the gender of your spouse. Still I am sorry for your injury.

Bingo

The insurers can bribe Congress more than you can, so it's only fair they can fuck you and your family over at will.

LOL I don't think it's fair but it's certainly the current reality, in our current corporatocracy.

The health care professionals on the front lines put your health first,
The health insurance companies back at the main office put the CEO's salary first, followed by their 3 VP's, boards of directors, etc.
Reminds me of the old mafia days.

The icon at the end of the sentence was my way of marking the passage as satire, but of course I agree with you.

The only difference is the racket is all legal and sanctioned by Congress... Another mafia organization.

I warned them about hiring MBAs but it kept them at the bedside doing what they liked and earning more. Guess who are the employees now?

I know you do I was just talking with ya. That's why I think we have corrupt cops. It's sort of a model of the entire corruption of government was what I was trying to say but I think it just got to heated to communicate.

 

[Corso312]

I can't even imagine how the Chump might deal with another day like this.

It would be virtually impossible to fuck it up more than Bush. I'd at least think Trump would have invaded the right country.

Well, they get 100% medical coverage for life so they can't relate to premiums, copays, etc.

Yep, young W just had to prove to dad he was a competent man too smh

Glad you said 'virtually'. Bush was dumb but not arrogant. This guy thinks he can do no wrong, he'll shit his pants the first time he's confronted with a problem out of nowhere.
And they all get blindsided by something.

Agreed. This seems to be a modern foundation of the American Way of doing business.

The only problem is that it doesn't work for anyone except the super rich- and even then only temporarily.
