This reminds me of why we didn’t get universal healthcare
peenie replied to peenie's topic in The Geek Club
So only you and your dad worked at your company? You didn’t need a loan or investors or a building or materials or products or employees or electricity or clean water or streets for cars to drive on or trucks or trains to deliver or tracks laid down for trains to travel? Yes, you worked hard and deserve the credit but he was just saying this is a great country because so many people work hard, hand in hand so that it makes it so people can be successful. There are countries in Africa where brilliant people live but how can they implement their ideas in a state where the electricity turns off weekly or where the streets flood when it rains due to poor sewer systems. In India, a woman is unable to start a business because in her village she shouldn’t be outside after dark. Or worse, she can’t get an education because she’s a woman. Obama was simply explaining how businesses thrive due to all the people and parts working together. Obama was a huge disappointment to me, certainly not black baby Jesus. I’m atheist. No offense Volty, but I doubt this would happen in America today: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ7GL7iDz3y/?igsh=N28ya29nZDRxZXZz -

But he’s right and it explains why immigrants come here and make their fortune but couldn’t do so in their own country. It takes a lot of moving organized parts that are not corrupt to build a functional business, not just a great idea. It’s funny how you all knit pick every syllable Obama made but you completely ignore all the lies Trump tells. Where is the lie in his statement? It’s like saying a great QB wins games. It’s the team of players not just the QB. I love Tommy and he’s the greatest, no doubt, he’s been a winner wherever he’s been, but he didn’t get all those rings all by himself. -

Well my memory might be flawed, but I accept the answer that there were just many different opposing issues and he tried to come to an agreement. That’s fair. -

Did energy prices skyrocket under Obama? I recall gasoline prices fell during his time in office. In fact, I recall paying $4/gal during Bush Jr., but reduced with Obama. -

Really??? I read in Korea having heated floors was a wonderful feature. Had no idea that option was available in the United States.

You live there???? I wish this wasn’t such a psycho weird place; we used to be able to share photos. Well, I am so happy for you. Please give us updates. Actually, I’d rather know what your wife thinks. Is everyone super skinny? Are clothes and electronics affordable? I would love to learn about all the funny things you’ve learned or strange things you experience. Maybe this only in Korea, but are your floors heated? Have you seen many women wearing kimonos? Did you visit the cherry blossom trees? So glad you get to experience low crime. How does the American dollar hold up? TIA

You’re in Japan??!! Awesome!! I’ve been told that the people are so polite and courteous and the country is so modern and advanced that you won’t want to return to the United States.How has your trip been so far? Are you going to Tokyo? How is the food? Have you experienced the bidets? Japan is on my bucket list.

Tim’s thread about anything but politics
peenie replied to The Real timschochet's topic in The Geek Club
Just want to add that I have heard of it but mostly in terms of a way to make money. I just don’t know anyone personally that does it so I wanted to know what goes on there. I had never visited the site. I’ve mostly just seen interviews of girls/women on Instagram talking about how much money they’ve made there. -
In fact, after reading the definition I’ve spent the morning educating myself by watching YouTube videos about it. It’s been interesting learning something new and realizing it’s not such a simple thing to fully understand. My first thought was, oh, like how we would sing Row Row Row Your Boat in school. Nope, that is a CANON which was the precursor.

I may have to read A Dangerous Fortune, sounds interesting. King does a fantastic job of setting the stage and making you feel there but in my opinion he never succeeds in making the ending as good as the leading up to it. I’m always a bit disappointed at the end. I love Civil War books, documentaries and author interviews. An aside: You know, I thought Heavy Metal magazine ended years ago. Apparently, it’s still around. -

I’ll bite; Have you ever been to Only Fans? As an older woman, I have never seen it. What do guys do there? Is it naked photos of beautiful girls or is it live videos? Do you guys talk to the girls? I read that it generates a ton of money. I was just wondering what goes on there. Don’t be shy! Tell me! ETA, I realized I could just go there: https://onlyfans.com/onlyfans It’s not sexy to me. The women look over the top fake. -
And you should enjoy it! I don’t believe anyone will starve to death in this wealthy country. You shouldn’t feel any guilt about having food, being prosperous or having a good time. One has nothing to do with the other.

You also played very well today!

Wow! Congratulations! This is your good luck day!

It would be nice if ALL states offered Medicaid to people who have low income. States like California, Ohio, Michigan and New York do while states like: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming do not. You must be disabled or pregnant/have children in order to qualify. I think the rest of the states will offer Medicaid to people who fall under the poverty line (meaning, even men and women without children can receive Medicaid). Note: states with the most need don’t offer expanded Medicaid. It makes NO sense. Not to mention that it was Republicans that prevented the United States from getting universal healthcare when Obama and Democrats were fighting for it. Instead we have ACA.
