Quote: was a non-profit healthcare organization
Yeah...about that.
These "non-profit" healthcare systems are big business. Ask UPMC.
Or, better yet, ask someone who knows about UPMC, as UPMC likely won't say peep.
While I have qualms with paying ceos of said companies huge amounts, at least it's better than for-profit healthcare.
It is for-profit health care.
It's just sneaky.

I'm failing to see how you'd use that without assistance. That's where the helpful hints in the manual come in handy.

Yeah I'm totally just like the Amish. I drive a 3500 diesel dually, have electricity, phone line, wear jeans, live on a 100acre farm. Thanks for pointing that out dude, maybe I cannot pay taxes now.

There's a difference between trying to stay in the black, and being severely in the black and cutting it to shareholders.

You "lol" at the dumbest ***, but actual humor just...goes right over your head.
Also, what do you do that you need a 3500 Diesel? You'd better be in construction or livestock...

I hope you are married at least..... My contract expired in April (budget cuts, slowing down of project, etc) I can get a job, but wanted to stay in the field, and the area is kind of ***for that. I have considered moving closer to DC but I really don't want to.

Any time someone of your leanings indicates they can not pay taxes, I take them seriously. Because most of the time they think they really shouldn't have to.

I think taxes are 75% way to damn high, and people of your leanings just want to make more taxes. You should also, lighten up a bit or your gonna end up like Jet.

All we ask is undeniable proof that climate change is not a natural occurring event, is 100% man made, and the policies in place would reverse (assuming) said man made events. Scientists have yet to even provide any of these three requests, and that's why most of us are skeptical of the whole science.
You are trying to force this down our throats before you can prove anything. That is just as bad as passing a law just to read what's in it.....oh wai.... Here's what historically occurs when I link these things (or How I learned not to bother cuz ain't no *** give a ***!:
it's immediately dismissed
"Scientists do it for the $$$
the most asinine detail is ferreted out and used to derail
"Nuh-uh"
Altima spray farts ignorance everywhere
the evidence isn't good enough because we need "real" evidence
something something Al Gore
whar statistics whar
Then there's the run-of-the-mill denialist talking points such as: the current/recent weather is not hot, climate has changed before therefore man cannot be implicated, models are never correct, there is no consensus, it's really cooling, etc,... (Honorable mention goes to "Well, it's just plant food" - my personal fave.)
Basically, first I was like but then I was like http://i.imgur.com/rdc5IyS.gif

I should have, but I took a job that I quit in the meantime (had to move, etc) was working that for about 4~ weeks. I'd have been better off taking unemployment. As for your comment: why? I'm entitled to them if my contract ends after working that long, why shouldn't I get them?

Of coarse you think that people like you are entitled and to be entitled you have to get your money from somewhere. Since he actually was employed, then he may well be. Since while employed, he probably paid (or his employer paid) unemployment tax.
So yes, unemployed but previously employed is pretty much exactly who should be receiving benefits. Now how long, and how much, you can argue about. Whether or not the tax exists, or should be privatized (unemploymenet insurance, for example), is a different question.

No, I think people that work for a company are entitled to the benefits from that employment, including health insurance, payment, and unemployment benefits when they're laid off or fired without cause (or in my case, end of contract).

I have a problem with people that have your mindset yes.
I actually don't call names, and like I said: you have a problem with the buzzword, because it strikes a nerve due to your horrible misunderstanding of reality, thanks to your lords and masters. You have a problem with people getting what they legally deserve, doesn't surprise me at all.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
