Single payer would be nice. I think we will get there. Sadly there are a lot of people who don't understand economies.

"I was getting with my expensive individual insurance policy a few years ago."
and you left consultancy to go to the corporate world...why? No one took away expensive individual insurance policies.

YOU CAN STILL BY INSURANCE ON THE OPEN MARKET.
And you get all the benefits from the insurance reform. So if your child develops a disease* you insurnace company can't jerk you around, and later in life you child won't be denied.

You should look at any increase costs and compare them to pre-Obama insurance rate increase projections. You insurance were already going to go up, probably a lot better ACA

"Before we continue, please tell me that you already signed up and paid for your ACA policy, and love what it does for you."
That is logically fallacious. It has nothing to do with the argument. Especially considering you can still buy on the open market.
ACA says you need to have insurance the meets certain min. qualification.
That said, because of the ACA, I will be leaving my government job and starting my own small software company at the beginning of the fiscal year. I can do this because of ACA.

  (and dodging the self-employment tax)
there is no such thing. What you are doing is having a corporation pay half of the tax. It's the same amount regardless.

*As a father, I certainly hope that doesn't happen to you becasue I know how hard it is.

Actually no one gives a monkeys about the planetary science program, its deeply unpopular because it uses genetic medicine and genetically modifies organisms to survive drought and it supports evolution and it ends the war on drugs - it is fundamental Science.

NASA should spend more money on that Russian space station, because we get live moving pictures back which make the news. Air time gets funding.

Actually America is just about done now and the rest of us are just waiting for the Chinese to take over the role of leading the world in real science.

See they have this dictatorship that doesn't need tv ratings to do things.

I despair.

"Old man, take a look at my life..."

hopefully it will have happened 12,000 years ago, tomorrow

Some people can enjoy something for the context and world it represents.

I bet you a blast a parties.

based on..what? I can find out everything going on with the dollar. Why would bitcoin be different?

really? are you sure? becasue the world it's made up of just YOU. it's made up of a lot a people who will take everything from you and manipulate the market against you.

You, and every libertarian. really need top read up on the history of finance pre regulation.

I don't know if you are being funny, or completely misunderstood the book.

That would be the reason it fell.
And it was Dr. DRE and Metallica that sued them.
Then record companies through the RIAA. Don't forget that. IT's the record companies you should direct your ire, not RIAA.

Not to imply RIAA is innocent, but they rep[resent clients any of whom could have opted out of the lawsuit.
Lets remember Napster was making a lot of money through the illegal distribution of copyrighted material.

but reality, seldom the whole sentence.

Actually some compilers(*coughgcc4.7*) in some instance will compile a missing semi colon. They assume the next line is a continuation and funny things happen.

Of course I can't speak to the instance you are talking about.

Enjoy the pain my friends.

no, they could not. It's that attitude that not only shows your ignorance of large system development, it also shows that hiring cheap people will bite you in the ass.

Correct, but I always try to find a way to meet a manger and take them to lunch.
Funny how when a manager says hire this guy all the HR crap means nothing.
Except for government and academia, mostly.
