Midjack posted:Relax, the union will get him reinstated in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately the Union's hands are tied here. He'll never be a sheriff's deputy again. He'll have to take the unfortunate path of becoming an officer with state police, where he'll operate in the same area without even having to move, and little to no other consequences.

Gotta love the logic where you let the wanna be dictator openly encouraging the genocide win so you can show the other guy that actually wants to minimize the civilian loss of life that he isn't doing enough.

psydude posted:US healthcare really isn't that bad - it's actually quite good. The issue is that it's expensive for people who don't have good insurance. I don't think enough Americans realize and appreciate this subtle, but extremely important, distinction. "lovely healthcare" and "great healthcare that's largely inaccessible" are functionally the same thing.

psydude posted:Sure. And the reason why the distinction is important is because fixing the affordability and accessibility should be the aim. Something like regulating prices and introducing a real single payer system (not loving Medicare) similar to what Germany has would go a long way. I don't disagree. I don't understand how so many people will bitch about their insurance not covering poo poo, but will defend to the death the idea that you should be stuck with a for-profit middle man that is chosen not by you, but your employer. Additionally, a single payer/universal healthcare system would mean that vets don't have to rely on the VA to get poo poo taken care of.

Discussion Quorum posted:In honor of this thread's favorite argument topic (fast food): When it comes to the regional chains that are better than McDonald's and Burger King, I'm pretty sure the best one is whatever you grew up with, as it likely shaped your perception of what that food is supposed to be like. I had the same reaction to In-N-Out, Five Guys, Whataburger, Chick-fil-A, etc. The hype really only comes from people who grew up on it.

CainFortea posted:I don't think that people who actively avoid learning about a subject get to bang any gavels about it. Most people that want to nitpick the differences generally belong to one of those two groups. But regardless of which group one belongs to, in the end, they're still attracted to minors. And that's why most people that don't belong to either group don't think it's important to know the difference. Because it doesn't matter.

Cookout has a large selection but every one I ever went to had mediocre quality. And that's mediocre by fast food standards. The only burger chain I was ever truly impressed with was Teddy's Bigger Burgers in Hawaii

One of the things I liked most about them was that the larger size burgers got wider, instead of requiring you to unhinge your jaw like most other restaurants will do.

Not a lot of them, but definitely older millenials and I know a couple.

Bored As gently caress posted:I should've bought a house four or five years ago but the timing was never right and we didn't know where I'd end up for a job so we didn't know even where to buy. So now we're renting a good apartment at a decent price but we're completely stuck with no options for buying a house with prices out of control and interest rates at ridiculous levels so our mortgage would be $fuckinsane level. All that plus my wife and I make poo poo money for our area. That's where I am. I was transient for so long that I never got a house because I knew I'd be leaving the areas within a year or two. Finally found a spot I want to settle, and instead I'm renting a house for about $1900 a month because buying the same house would have a mortgage payment of probably 3k+ per month. Not to mention all the other expenses associated with hone ownership.

Stultus Maximus posted:Another reminder that the "culture war" is one-sided. Our side wants everyone to be included. Theirs wants specific groups excluded. Our side is fine with supporting 4H, FFA, veterans' groups, etc. Theirs wants only their group to have benefits. Also going to be hard to meet their land and water resource goals long term without any emissions goals short term.

Yep. Any company that is Too Big To Fail, is a national security risk, and should be split up or nationalized.
