This is wrong. They are not allowed to let him die due to inability to pay. This was passed in 1986.

Medical care would be much cheaper if they could let you die if you couldn’t pay. But now those costs are passed onto everyone who can pay. So essentially we already have a very bastardized and most inefficient version of universal healthcare.

And it would be corrected quickly because who the hell would be ok with hospitals refusing life saving measures. But here we are stuck with the most expensive and ineffective version of universal healthcare imaginable.

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.

It depends. It makes it a lot harder to claim but not out of the question.

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.

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.

I don’t know about the UK but in the USA slavery was abolished in the 1865, but equal rights weren’t granted until 1965. All the states were not in full compliance until the early 1970s. You could easily argue there are people still alive today directly affected by slavery.

Making slavery illegal doesn’t mean everyone suddenly starts hugging in the streets and bigotry is abolished. I’m sure these same sentiments persisted in UK but hopefully not as long as it did in the USA.

What’s wrong with Signal besides requiring a phone number?

That’s my point. Let people make that decision if they want it for free with no privacy or paid with privacy.

It’s a scam how much we are tracked without real consent and/or compensation.

That we are not paid for our browsing data, app data, etc.

You’re right. I was wrong. There is a big difference between websites and ISPs, and in my eagerness to respond I skipped that basic understanding.

I feel like their should be basic policing of the most horrific things, e.g. child porn. But you’re right, it’s impossible to filter everything out in a timely manner by websites.

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.
