Porche performance, Prius gas milage.

Maybe because you want a $150 dollar an hour equivalent salary?

If you can't find a $15 a hour job as an "MBA" I don't know what to say... maybe you should move? maybe should have gone to a trade school?

Even my dropout, severely depressed and on antidepressants, fucked-my-life-good 40 something year old sister in law can get a job that pays more than $15.

$30K a year is a $15 dollar an hour job.

Get one.

Get a better one, work less hours.

Sorry mate,

I am out of Mod points. +1

BTW, I had a Humanities degree before an BSIS degree. The BSIS got me in the door, the Humanities built my career.

I think you have a bigger problem at that point, like, say, the FIRE?!

Metric or Imperial Shed-loads?

Article is useless without this information!

Volcano is only one of the 5 possible reasons... none of which have to do with humans.

And probably the least likely. After all, Volcanos emit greenhouse gasses, not anti-greenhouse gasses.

Big explosions like Krakatoa did effect climate for a year or two, but not hundreds.

Maybe you should take a different view that actually fits the data:

That the fluctuations are normal for earth, and stop trying to fix a problem that has not been proven.

People use to ice skate on the Themes as well, during the little ice age. Neither time period had enough humans to create those conditions, so humans are not a significant part of the equation.

Unless you think medieval industry caused the mini ice age.

No, just the ones that have bad data...

Like Pons and Fleischmann.

But there the community decided to react with the appropriate skepticism, unlike AGW

Normally we just call it "non sequitur" because it does not follow.

Maybe your post is so long you have forgotten what you wrote:

"ou may have been fed this information but it is FUD in every sense of the words. What you are saying is simply not true given the information that I have and, while this may seem an appeal to authority, I am going to trust my experiences, my family's experience, my friend's experiences, and the experiences from the many vets that I am in contact with and have discussed this very topic with (at length). There are so few complaints that I could, quite literally, count them using no more than my own digits. I may not even have to use more digits than are on both hands. "

that is not claiming an exception, it is claiming your anecdotal data is superior to actual reports of abuse, admitted under oath by VA officials, across many VA hospitals and facilities.

Are you saying that the VA is lying about being incompetent?
Are you saying these facts, which contradict your own, and admitted by the Army's Vice Chief of Staff are wrong?

"The Army’s Vice Chief of Staff General Richard Cody admitted on Wednesday there has been a "breakdown in leadership" at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. His comments came three days after The Washington Post revealed that hospital rooms at Walter Reed were infested with mouse droppings, cockroaches, stained carpets, rodents and black mold. "

I am amazed that admissions from the VA itself of wrong doing are tossed out and personal experience replaces reality.

Facts are stubborn things, and the facts are widely available of the issues the VA admits itself, never mind anything it is not coming clean on.

That is a great story.

But stories are not data.

What do you say to the families who can prove that they were delayed, to the proof that administrators lied and doctored results?

Your great story does not negate what they did.

And yes, I have plenty of experience. I know case workers that work for the VA, and most of my family uses the VA system.
I even worked for a company that administered Tri-care for a while. (as a sysadmin, so I knew EXACTLY what was going on)
There are systemic issues, that you had a good experience does not off set the wrongs done.
And not the 80's, here is an ADMISSION from the VA that these "unofficial" waiting lists exist:

That is a very recent report. Not the 80s.

Just you wait until hospitals are run by the government and hire this way... well, you can see it now, it is called the VA.

Where they improved their time-to-wait appointment statistics by canceling and rescheduling appointments and/or putting them on off-the-books waiting lists.

Some day, we will all get equal medical service of this same quality.

You say that now, wait until you have gone through the diversity training and have been reconditioned...
