As long as you didn’t drench that in ranch it’d probably still be fairly healthy.

I think people underestimate how many civilians work alongside our men and women in uniform. Walk out to any hangar on a base in the US and it will be close to half and half. If it’s test facility it may be more civilians.

This is the answer.

This is the same as me. I also have a policy on both my kids. It’s $10k and it’s so I don’t have to worry about funeral costs.

There are also plans like that and turn into a college fund but it’s probably just better to use a 529 for that.

But ultimately, in my opinion, it’s better to have a one on the bread winner of the family. But some people feel they are never necessary.

If you die young you don’t need insurance because your spouse is still hot and can re-marry easily. If you die older your children are out of college and can take care of themselves.

Everyone take or don’t take insurance policies for their own reasons and it’s hard to know exactly why unless they make it plainly obvious.

I pre-ordered mine back in September. Those of us who game from multiple rooms in their house this thing is amazing. Or those who have to share a TV with people who don’t use the PS5 connected to it.

This comment doesn’t even make sense. For example, the USA government spent 37% compared to the GDP.

If you mean 10% of government spending towards science then that question makes sense.

The USA spends about $75billion of the $800billion defense budget on R&D. It spends another $120billion on non-defense R&D.

Which is about 1/31 of federal spending for the US.

That’s not the problem with the healthcare in the US, because that eventually flips and you hit your deductible every year.

The problem is you lose healthcare if you need to quit your job and you pay more than any other country. And I attribute that simply to the middle man, aka the health insurance companies. They don’t seem to provide any benefit other than contributing at least 10% for pure profit reasons to the $3.4 trillion we spend every year on healthcare.

It’s for the opposite of what that person said. It’s for the people who also want their neighbors to maintain their property. Whether that’s through hiring contractors or doing it themselves.

I think this works for some job positions, and probably most.

I’m looking for an engineer right now. I’ll take a young one to train up, but I’ll also take an experienced engineer that I don’t have to do anything.

That pay range is pretty broad.

The most harmful aspect is the unrealistic expectations it can set. In general, sex in porn is nothing like real life sex between two folks in love.

But that can be solved by decent sex education.

You’re not wrong, but that only applies to teachers in low cost of living areas. High cost of living teachers start at $55k these days.

I also wonder how it would work. My wife clocks in when she gets to school and clocks out when she leaves, but she still lesson plans and grades papers at home.

Right, so then they should be operated as a public telecom and be regulated as Title II. This would allow them to be free from such lawsuits.

However, they want to remain as private for profit companies so they should be held responsible for not acting responsibly.
