  1. Trump is proposing to give a bunch of money to the airline industry, hotels, cruise in the terms of subsidies. I'm sure that will trickle down to the common employee and not be given to the CEOs in huge bonuses. The same thing happened in 2008 with the financial bailouts. As someone who works in the financial industry the CEOS got MASSIVE bonuses while laying off thousands of people. The rich please the rich, always has been, always will be. That is the fundamental issue with the republican party. They believe in less government involvement encourages capitalism, but they fail to realize that those who work in the private industry are just as if not more corrupt then politicians.
  2. I still don't get it. I don't see it being an issue in Canada, Norway, Germany, etc... https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/22/germany-health-care-system-compared-to-united-states.html Germany blows us out of the water. Watch that video and tell me how you can disagree. It's fact after fact of them having better health care for half the price.
  3. When I was laid off of work I had to pay for Cobra, the premiums were outrageous. After that ran out I had to look into getting healthcare for my wife and I. We made "too" much on our tax returns the previous year so as a healthy couple in our 20s I had to pay over a thousand a month to keep our healthcare going while unemployed...There are no excuses this country is a joke when it comes to healthcare.
  4. This is without insurance as I had a HSA high deductible plan. The prices in the US are mind blowing, highest in the entire world...Our healthcare system is ranked in the 30s in 1st world countries. What happens when your work lays you off? Then what?...
  5. Yeah, I feel like Diggs might come with some baggage though. He had some issues in Minnesota. I agree WRS take 2-3 years to truly develop into number 1s.
  6. I feel like we overpaid in a draft with loads of good WRs.
  7. I agree. I hate all politicians, I can actually support Bernie though. I think the fundamental system of having a 2 party system in which Super Pacs are allowed to finance elections and get the politician to side on a certain matter because of money is a joke. The entire foundation of our democracy is founded about deceit, deception, greed, and manipulation.
  8. For all of New York: Effective 8PM TONIGHT: -Crowd capacity reduced to 50 -Restaurants/bars will be takeout/delivery ONLY -Gyms closed -Movie theaters closed -Casinos closed
  9. I'll make it political. The dude is a joke and how he got elected makes me question the majority of people living in this country. I cannot stand someone being so anti science being the most powerful person on the planet. Unfortunately Biden has no chance to beat him and the idiotic democratic party manipulated the media and its other presidential entries into backing Biden who has early stages of dementia...This country is *******....
  10. #BREAKING: NY, CT and NJ are taking joint regional action to reduce the spread of #COVID19: Effective 8PM TONIGHT: -Crowd capacity reduced to 50 -Restaurants/bars will be takeout/delivery ONLY -Gyms closed -Movie theaters closed -Casinos closed
  11. I didn't buy travel insurance. It comes with the card. (up to 10k). I have to call tomorrow to dispute the charge.
  12. I just watched Contagion tonight. A virus that originated in China and came from Bats... I mean... That's freaky.
  13. It seems based on the numbers that younger people seem to not be prone to it either. Very low rate of getting the virus. Hopefully they have a vaccine in the next 1-2 months and all the worrying can stop.
  14. You'll be fine. For people in their 20s, the severity of symptoms are a little bit worse then the flu.
  15. It's made its way to Buffalo, 3 confirmed cases https://www.wivb.com/health/coronavirus/breaking-3-coronavirus-cases-in-erie-county-confirmed/?fbclid=IwAR2-Vdka7E3MH_lu1Z6M2QxB97iI_4eQgWYqqTq-MKt0G4YhM_n0rwwh16c
  16. Chase has a 10-18 hour hold time. I asked for a call back instead...
  17. Just got off the phone with United. They are only offering flight credits through Jan 25th, 2021. Going to try Chase now...
  18. I'm currently on hold with United Airlines for 2 hours. Chase travel portal customer service is 12-18 hour wait time. I cannot do anything online. This is brutal.... I was thinking of just disputing it with Chase and getting back all of my money for all my reservations. I am covered with a $10k trip insurance policy through the chase freedom sapphire card. What would you recommend?
  19. Yeah, that high is messing everything up. We would be looking at a region wide WSW event without it.
  20. Well New Zealand canceled my trip for me https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12316692&fbclid=IwAR3WR9Mz2wrVP1npX4govDykl5YI73WhJSnGzMdtdDjS9UjAqFSrjLY7D6g
  21. Surprised at forecasted temps with that EPO. PNA, NAO, and AO driving things.
  22. https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/sk/coronavirus-vaccine-made-in-saskatchewan-is-now-in-the-testing-stages
  23. https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/sk/coronavirus-vaccine-made-in-saskatchewan-is-now-in-the-testing-stages I guess they also created the Ebola vaccine.
  24. What a lame winter. Hoping for a 2014-15 repeat next year.
