their whole point is that the law can be abused

I'm talking about the regulatory capture of everything related to health care: medications, credentialing, insurance, etc. Any regulation imposed on the production of a good or pro…

It's silly that believing more government intervention will solve the problem, given that a big reason healthcare became tied to employment in the first place was wage freezes by t…

neither, for the same reasons

Yeah it's probably a combination, which might explain why my experience isn't the norm. Ever since I had it done, any poke, foreign objects like sand, etc. is much more painful tha…

you mean artificially colored canola soy extrusions, with an unspecified (i.e. very small) quantity of chemically replicated salmon cells? how about counterfeit biohazard salmon?

I had PRK 15 years ago. I also woke up multiple times last night because my eyes felt like they had a bad sunburn (eyes so dry they stick to your eyelids + REM sleep.) Some unsolic…

piracy probably wasn't the reason they won back then, but I think the point was that the change in IP enforcement since then might be the reason they can maintain their lead now

more like kicking out the staff after they convinced everyone that your house is a hotel that they own and operate

unless the US selects people at random to immigrate that chart is irrelevant

because he's the only one that people whine about like a jilted ex girlfriend

are you referring to the act of playing video games or the act of not playing video games

Nope. When I worked in a factory as a teenager, ICE came in and presumably deported all of the illegals, because they didn't show up the next day. A big reason Trump got elected is…

You mean a country that is more white?

Can you name a policy of today's republican party that is further right than the republican party of 20 years ago? From my perspective they've ceded ground on many social issues. T…

electoral votes and number of representatives are allocated based on census numbers, which have nothing to do with citizenship status /!s

I'm an atheist, so I wouldn't consider myself an expert on their beliefs, but you don't appear to be either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thou_shalt_not_kill
