ParticipantI’m not sure if Con Man Don knows what he’s saying … he praised the Australian system (public insurance for all with additional private coverage available) as being better than the US.
ParticipantYeah, but Switzerland trains for the worst without trying to actively provoke it. I’m cool with that idea.
ParticipantIt’s punishment for high-tax states that actually provide services to their residents. Never mind that those states ALREADY pay more Federal tax per capita than they get back.
ParticipantIf people are joining the military just to have stability, health insurance, and education, maybe that’s a comment on our country and whether it’s worth saving. Maybe an invader would do better for us than we do for our own people 🙁
ParticipantYes on teachers.
No comment on military, other than there’s no longer a draft, and signing up to follow orders of a bunch of rich old men in DC makes me question their judgment.
We haven’t had a just war in 70+ years.
ParticipantIf I were selling and someone wrote a letter, I’d know that they want it bad enough so I can squeeze another few grand out of them 🙂
ParticipantSure, on sellers with the IQ of a potted plant. Any seller with 1/4 of a brain will sell to whoever comes firstest with the mostest money.
The only paper that matters is the green, hard-to-fake kind.
ParticipantTechnically, there are no plans for hyperloop between US and Mexico either, so both are imaginary 🙂
Mexico does (or did) apparently have plans for HSR between border cities and the interior.
ParticipantI’d take 2 hours in a train with scenery and without the chance of suffocation if something goes wrong.
ParticipantNeg on the hyperloop: part of the appeal of a train (or car) is actually being able to see things out of the window, not being SPAM in a can (to immortalize the words of an old astronaut).
Participantflu – if you think the markets will always go up, it’s bubble mentality.
It’s “always a good time to buy” except some times were better than others. 2007 might have been good as compared to now (in some cities), but buying in 2009 was better.
Participantflu- the bubble is being driven by other forms of easy money (margin debt, portfolios growing for down payments, 2% down loans courtesy of Mel “the Skell” Watt).
As far as the tax plan, Mr. Market seems to think it’s a big ‘ol snooze. Glad the Trump Bump is losing its effect.
ParticipantYou’re ass-u-ming that the Border Patrol/ICE need any more funding than they already have. Want to save money? Get rid of the warrantless internal checkpoints inside of US borders that even harass US citizens. End the “war on some drugs” that’s costly and ineffective. If people want to kill themselves and fry their minds, who are we to stop them?
And return the Canadian border to pre-2000 status, essentially open. Hell, sign an open-border treaty with Canada as a start to full reciprocity with residence, work, and study permits for anyone without a major criminal records. It would benefit both countries.
ParticipantAs foreign military, are they also harder to evict if they end up being awful tenants?
