Only Americans believe that public healthcare systems in other countries ration healthcare. If you need healthcare you'll get it. A little slower perhaps, but you'll get it. Nobody in the UK dies from easily curable diseases because they can't afford it, unlike here

Nah, above all else, she loved Reagan and the USA. If they told her the Russians were good, she would have sold them the Royal Navy

She is, (Boebert) but she represents a huge, low population rural area.

Colorado is not red. It's been blue since the late 1990s, save the deep rural areas. Dems have a super majority in the state legislature. Polis is actually more right wing than the population, as befits a billionaire

If it's a graduation requirement, then who will teach it, and what will be cut from the syllabus to make room for it?

Let's return to the rates of WW2, given the circumstances. A top rate of over 50%, and 60% for unearned income.

than an F35. Also every country in Europe needs at least 3 factories churning out 155mm shells
comment in response to
post
The Ukraine invasion has shown that the Russian air force is hopelessly outdated and that buying F35 is a waste of money. That money needs to be redirected to development of asymmetric and anti drone technologies. Even restarting production of systems like the Gephardt provides more value

Once you've had an air fryer for a while it's never enough to satisfy your cravings and you think about getting a bigger one or if you're really addicted, an additional one

now. Look at where people are in town. Anywhere farther along the mall than about California or Stout is dead. They should chop the mall off there and spend the money in closer to Union station

I arrived in the 1990s and there was a big booster for it going on then. They even built a movie theater and shops at the far end to try and get people further along. But this will always fail because there is literally nothing to do at the far end. We are in a "sunk cost fallacy" happening

Its all about the framing, for example Advent Health got $39m in tax exemptions, while their top 30 paid employees made about the same. A nonprofit with $1.6B of revenue doesn't need tax breaks, their entire being is supposed to be the public good

Before they were removed and replaced with bridges, even the most rural crossings were fully gated in my home country. 100s of years of experience in railway crossings tell us that people will always try to beat it.
comment in response to

Its something that separates the USA from other developed countries, in that at-grade crossings to higher speed railways are considered an acceptable risk from a cost saving perspective.
