"A 59-year-old man has been jailed in Gastonia, N.C., on charges of larceny after allegedly robbing an RBC Bank for $1 so he could get health care in prison. Richard James Verone handed a female teller a note demanding the money and claiming that he had a gun, according to the police report.
He then sat down and waited for police to arrive. "… I say, 'I'll be sitting right over here, on the chair, waiting for the police,'" Verone told reporters, recalling the June 9 robbery in an interview from Gaston County Jail.
And wait for the police, he did.
"He's sitting on the sofa as you walk in the front door," the bank teller said in a 911 call.
Police arrested Verone where he sat. He was unarmed.
Verone said he asked for $1 to show that his motives were medical, not monetary, according to news reports. With a growth in his chest, two ruptured disks and no job, Verone hoped a three-year stint in prison would afford him the health care he needed.
"I'm sort of a logical person and that was my logic, what I came up with," Verone told reporters. "If it is called manipulation, then out of necessity because I need medical care, then I guess I am manipulating the courts to get medical care."
But the charge of larceny, not armed robbery, is unlikely to keep Verone behind bars for more than 12 months. He is being held in Gaston County Jail on a $2,000 bond, according to a spokesman for the jail, and is scheduled to appear in court June 28." [Story]
Poor Richard, the poor guy can't buy a break; he didn't even rob the bank right.

field asks:
ReplyDeleteStill, the truth is, that it makes you a person with an engineering degree. A PE makes you an engineer.
A PE license is for people who mainly want to run engineering consulting firms. Those who get the PE license generally have five years of experience after college graduation in their engineering specialty. Or a master's degree and maybe two or three years of work experience. I went to Wall Street two years after graduating from engineering school. Take that any way you like.
What is the name of the device that your team patented?
It has a very simple name. It's called a vane. It controls fluid flow within a closed body.
Like I said. Simple but unique, and therefore patentable.
Engineers working for corporations rarely get the PE license. There's no need. It's never a job requirement unless you're a project manager at Fluor, Bechtel, KBR, etc.

Hello, Emergency room, I have no money and need medical care, ok sir, go to this hospital. Hello Medicaid, Have no money needs insurance ok sir here is your card. Millions of people live on this and you don't know this? The problem with Obamacare is that few will pay for all and everyone will have "medicare". There are so many programs out there that all this guy would have to do is walk in to an office and he woudl walk out with cash to survive and go apartment hunting with public funded healthcare. Stop the hype. We already pay through the nose for it.

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the story of that Michigan woman who is trying to sell her handwritten letter from O to pay her house note.
Destiny Mathis lives in Indiana, but what's reading comprehension here?
In any case, she wrote Obama and told him she was in dire financial straits. Is it really a surprise he wrote back?
According to the article, appraisers have valued the Obama note at $11,000.
Obviously he knew a personal letter to a private citizen has a substantial value to a collector. He knew he the note he sent her was convertible into cash.
That raises the issue of how Obama can solve our national financial troubles. All he has to do is send similar notes to every person in America who requests one.
Imagine. Thousands and thousands and thousands of people receiving short, handwritten notes from the president that can be sold for $11,000 each. Perhaps some Americans will need two, three or four of them. But if Obama devoted all his energy to sending these valuable pieces of paper to everyone in need, he'd solve our national financial crisis before the next election.
These letters would be the true Obama Bucks. Money you can count on.
He could probaby sell some longer notes, actual letters, to China. Maybe China would pay $50,000 for each full page letter.
No doubt he could sell a lot of them in Nigeria. Nigeria seems to be a country with a lot of unclaimed bank accounts. I get letters all the time from Nigerians who ask me to help them be accepting the transfer of millions of dollars that are just laying around in dormant bank accounts.
Obama could exchange his letters and notes for the contents of those accounts. This is gonna work. I can tell. The nation is saved and we will owe it all to the uplifting notes sent out from the White House on that presidential stationery, nice envelope and a 44-cent stamp.
Nice return on the investment. About a dollar and half per letter after accounting for the president's paycheck.
Obama is definitely a superhero, he has a new nickname:

State to Run Detroit's Worst Schools
By MATTHEW DOLAN
DETROIT—The worst-performing public schools in Detroit will be removed from the city's school system and run by a new state authority charged with turning them around within five years.
The move, detailed Monday by Gov. Rick Snyder and other state leaders, is intended to test a new concept that may be expanded to improve other troubled schools around the state.
Mr. Snyder, a Republican, said the authority, known as the Educational Achievement System, will start up a year from this fall with as many as 39 of the 130 Detroit schools.
The city schools selected will be among those that tested in the bottom 5% academically statewide.
Overall, about 200 of Michigan's 4,000 public schools fall into that category—and all eventually could be candidates for the parallel school system if it works for Detroit, Mr. Snyder said. The new authority will be run by Roy Roberts, the current emergency manager of the Detroit public schools.
Schools placed under the control of the new authority must remain for five years, aided by administrative support from Eastern Michigan University.
"We have too many failing schools in our state," the governor said at a news conference at Renaissance High School on the city's northwest side, adding only 16 percent of Michigan high school graduates are college-ready, based on ACT scores, and that the state ranks poorly in math and reading.

More a comment on how Mr. Logical added 1+1 and came up with pi. I'm a universal medicare supporter, and I hope that the man gets care (though that's the last thing he'll find in the cage) but not to keep people from committing crimes. He lives in the research triangle and robbed a bank for medical care? What's wrong with dealing with the debt in bankruptcy instead/ Medical bankruptcy's a lot more benign than the cage.
ReplyDeleteThese are desperate times and that poor man was desperate. I hope he gets the medical help he needs and deserves. However, in America the land of greedy capitalists, he might not get medical help.
ReplyDeleteYou see, in a country of capitalistic materialism, there is no good reason for the rich and powerful to help the poor and vulnerable.
A better logical solution for him would have been to move to Canada, Cuba or UK where everyone is 'certain' to get medical care.

At first they didn't know what to make of it, but after fooling around with it for a while, they realized it was some kind of contraption with a engine and a fan blade.
Yeah, they said to each other, if we can get the engine to run we can sit here in the shade of that upper part while this fan blows air over us. What a great way to enjoy the beach, they said to each other. We get a cool breeze and shade. Boy are we lucky.
How can you be a world leader when half of the country pushes creationism in science class and no one says a peep.
Here's a little tidbit for you. The semiconductor industry was founded by several people, including Robert Noyce. A few of them were the sons of ministers. It was their belief in the principles of physics that was the basis for their defection from their family's faith.
Their doubt about the faith of their fathers led to the creation of the most transformative technology of the 20th century. It's still far from running its course and is likely to have a profound effect on the lives of every human.

Oh yeah. You can move to Canada or the UK, bring your chronic illness with you and check into the nearest hospital. Yeah. You can do that.
Cuba? Somebody must have seen Michael Moore's "Sicko". The Cuban healthcare system is as broke as the rest of the economy. Even Fidel himself has been hovering at the brink of death because some half-baked doctor botched his abdominal surgery, after which he was no longer capable of tying his own shoes, let along trying to run the failed Marxist state.
What was wrong with Fidel? State secret. No one knows. That's why Chavez from Venezuela went to Cuba for his medical treatment. He wants the secrecy. It would undermine his regime if the real reason got around.
He probably has some form of cancer. No doubt the value of keeping the truth from reaching the world seemed more important to Chavez than getting top-notch treatment.
In the coming year the cancer will reappear. The surgery was probably to remove a tumor, and the Cuban quacks probably missed enough of it that his days are numbered.
Field, "Yes, and hopefully that will be the case here in A-merry-ca soon."
ReplyDeletecome on Field, you know that is not going to happen. ObamaCare is about to be dismantled and thrown out by the rich and powerful capitalists. There is nothing the poor can do about it.
Just read about this this morning and was struck by the extreme measure he took.
ReplyDeleteAs individuals who elect our representatives, our President, etc., we need to force reform. Day after day we read stories like this and struggle with our own financial issues but we aren't united in a movement to make change. Having been a teenager in the late Sixties & a protestor in the early Seventies, I know it works. Social media is a valuable forum but voting is another.
I always admired Cindy Sheehan, the woman who protested the war on Dubyah's Crawford property. Her son had been killed in Iraq. Her response was picked up by news media around the world and she turned it into a movement. It just wasn't big enough to motivate our representatives to get out early.
It sounds hopeless but it isn't. Corporations rule the world but the pendulum theory will swing things in the other direction some day. Just hope we haven't all been eliminated by then.
no_slappz, "Their doubt about the faith of their fathers led to the creation of the most transformative technology of the 20th century. It's still far from running its course and is likely to have a profound effect on the lives of every human."

Clearly this man is mentally unwell.
ReplyDeleteThe problem of mental illness is a worldwide concern and one which governments typically do not want to spend their money on.
So we have them in the streets begging for money and also drug addicted because they self medicate.
The mentally ill are often unable to comply with the procedures, paperwork and bureaucracy necessary to get any kind of help.
Often times the family members just get tired of living their lives around the needs of this person and give up on them. This is especially true as the economic crisis puts an added squeeze on these families.
So they end up living on the streets, in parks, subways and under bridges. :(
What is the solution? You tell me.
Did you ever hear of "Operation Fast & Furious", otherwise known as "Operation Gunwalker"?
ReplyDeleteProbably not, if you listen to the liberal media.
But...you will. Some heads in the Obama administration are going to roll.

Just for the stoopids...your Masters fired millions of 50 somethings to avoid paying them pensions and wages. Seems the pensions were raided and one might be imprisoned for theft...had not the 50 folks been 'surplus'. While a 15 callow wite youth thinkerates that he am the most glorious of workers...once you get past 40...the likelihood of finding other work diminishes. Your taxes paid for this obvious Data. It is public. So...between 50, when the Fwee Marketeers cut your job...and 65, when you can get Universal...is 15 years of hoping you don't have medical issues. Plus, many states with large incest groupings (christians) tend to deny claims by the poor. Keeps them able to be Rite2Work and cheaper. Not providing medical care is cheaper...in the short term. And welfare programs have been cut since st reagan lied to us about the Welfare Queen. Oh, thank you st reagan...now that wite folks need it...the safety net is gone!
Mold
My brother understands economics instinctively, so when he says something, I listen.
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing/hearing this "the government creates NOTHING" meme and it just drives me frigging crazy. It's a favorite of the right and it's just so wrong it's making me crazy. And I can't argue the most recent occurrence because it came on a board that I'm a moderator for, with a strict no politics policy. The most interesting part of this is that it comes from ... wait for it ... a right wing California real estate appraiser. He creates ... ??
The bulk of our economy "creates nothing". Banks, supermarkets, barber shops, tanning salons, plumbers, electricians, and real estate appraisers all create nothing. They move people, money, goods, etc. around, but make nothing. They do, however, offer jobs, add value and make money. This economic activity is key to our economy.
Mold
The worst part of it is that government can/does do one thing that none of these other business can do: create demand. Government builds roads, water and sewer systems, buildings, courts, provides health care, and order military hardware. All of these create demand from whole cloth (actually from taxes or borrowed money). But unlike the service businesses that are dependent on demand created by others, government can (and does) decide to do things, and that independently creates demand. No other entity has the power to create demand completely out of nowhere.
ReplyDeleteThat's why this is just so wrong. It's part of the "government is evil" meme that they cite repeatedly without challenge. It interestingly came at the end of a diatribe by this clown saying "don't hate on big business, they create nearly everything in this economy". Which ignores the fact that 99.7% of the businesses (by number) in the country are classified as small businesses, that over 50% of the jobs in the country are in small business, that small businesses pay 44% of all private payroll, etc. Here is a small business owner who so completely drank the tea that he can't even see his own company's contribution to the economy.
Gag.
Not only that, when one of the last major industries in the country -- the automobile manufacturers -- were in trouble two years ago, the right-wing meme was to let them die; that'll teach them a lesson in capitalism, and kill off the left-wing labor unions while they're at it. Aside from the fact that it would have decimated one of the last few manufacturing industries left in the country -- all the others have been shipped oversees by those noble American captains of industry -- it would have destroyed the demand economies of the cities and states where the companies were located. The first to go would have been the small businesses that relied on GM and Chrysler, and not just the parts suppliers; it would have been the banks, supermarkets, barber shops, tanning salons, plumbers, electricians, and real estate appraisers.
ReplyDeleteThe next favorite right-wing economic mantra is that lower taxes are the only way to stimulate the economy. Fareed Zakaria makes the case that cutting taxes and spending by the government doesn't stimulate the economy.
The Republican prescription is to cut taxes and slash government spending — then things will bounce back. Now, I would like to see lower rates in the context of tax simplification and reform, but what is the evidence that tax cuts are the best path to revive the U.S. economy? Taxes — federal and state combined — as a percentage of GDP are at their lowest level since 1950. The U.S. is among the lowest taxed of the big industrial economies. So the case that America is grinding to a halt because of high taxation is not based on facts but is simply a theoretical assertion. The rich countries that are in the best shape right now, with strong growth and low unemployment, are ones like Germany and Denmark, neither one characterized by low taxes.
I never studied economic theory beyond a class I had in high school, but it doesn't take a degree from the London School of Economics to know that tax cuts alone don't lead to prosperity. Every time in recent memory that we've tried massive tax cuts, we've gotten a recession soon after: Reagan in the 1980's and Bush in the 2000's, and we've had some of the best economic times when we've have comparatively high taxes; i.e. the 1950's, when the top tax rate was a whopping 91% under that socialist Dwight Eisenhower. What we need is a balance of both revenues and spending, and so far, all the Republican offerings have been unbalanced... in every sense of the the word.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if he voted for Obama and "Obamacare"?
Fueled Negro, Sorry I meant Field, did you mean this Obamacare? One of the most if not the most corrupt lie filled piece of legislation ever forced down the throats of america?
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) recently released its annual report on medical cost trends for 2012, and it is revealing.
1) The report shows health care costs and premiums continuing to rise—and uncertainty increasing for employers who offer insurance to their workers. Health care spending increased by 7.5 percent in 2010 and will grow by 8 percent this year.
2) In 2012, it will rise again by 8.5 percent. This is exactly the opposite of the President’s promise that his health care plan would reduce premiums by $2,500 per person.
3) Perhaps most concerning are the findings of a survey also released by PWC divulging how employers are likely to react to Obamacare. The survey showed that nearly half of employers will drop their coverage, dumping employees into the government-run exchanges. Individuals who qualify would then receive generous federal subsidies to purchase insurance. If more employers than expected dump coverage, as other experts have predicted, the cost of the subsidy program will explode deficit spending. The results of the PWC survey indicate this is likely to be reality.
4) Even if employers do not dump coverage entirely under the new law, according to the survey, five out of six employers will completely re-evaluate their benefits strategy. Four out of five employers will make changes to help cover new costs under Obamacare, including raising premiums, deductibles, and co-payments.
5) Employers who offer coverage to their workers face growing uncertainty regarding costs under the new law. The negative consequences of Obamacare’s changes will be threefold: higher costs for those with employer-sponsored coverage; a greater debt burden on current and future taxpayers; and slower growth in job creation and the overall economy.

ReplyDeleteHealth care in this country is and always has been obscenely expensive! It is an industry,a business!

From the Department of Economic Fantasies:
ReplyDeleteThe worst part of it is that government can/does do one thing that none of these other business can do: create demand...
Really? There may be a few tasks best left in the hands of government. But only the delusional believe government creates demand.
Government builds roads, water and sewer systems, buildings, courts, provides health care, and order military hardware.
Oh. So it wasn't until governments built roads that people knew which way to direct their horses. Okay.
Water? I see. People weren't thirsty till their governments told them about water? Yeah okay.
Sewers? Yeah, nobody had the sense to do something about the accumulation of waste till the government showed up.
Of course it's true that clean water, waste disposal and healthcare are pretty much non-existent in most of Africa. So we can see why programs aimed at public health issues are important. Without well run programs, entire countries become disease ridden sewers.
All of these create demand from whole cloth (actually from taxes or borrowed money).
You really don't know which end is which, do you?
What you really mean, though you don't understand it, is that government, by spending tax dollars, induces people to become suppliers of goods and services purchased by the government and put into public use.
But unlike the service businesses that are dependent on demand created by others, government can (and does) decide to do things, and that independently creates demand.
Yeah. Nobody needs a doctor till the government says a doctor is needed. Nobody need water till the government says so. Nobody needs national defense until the government points out the foreign threat. Nobody needs a school till the government mentions it.
No other entity has the power to create demand completely out of nowhere.
In fact, every need is clearly evident long before government ever sticks it snout in. While there's no doubt the government alone should handle national defense, pretty much every other function should be shared with the private sector, with the private sector handling as much of the load as possible.
Only the government has the power to skew markets. When markets are skewed, then it becomes necessary for the government to monkey with them in others ways, ways that are supposed to minimize the skewing. But government intrusion in markets always backfires.

Yes it is. In Cuba, it's a failure.

Only the elite? The cost of Medicare and Medicaid are two of our governments largest expenditures. In NY State, the Medicaid system now spends $13,000 per year, per Medicaid enrollee.
While it's true that medical care is expensive, what do you want to do to lower the cost?
Do you believe doctors, nurses, hospital personnel, theapists, etc believe they should take a big pay cut?
Should drug companies stop developing drugs? If they stopped research and development, then a major cost would disappear. Then they could sell existing drugs for less.
Do you think it would cut healthcare costs if people from other countries were stopped from sneaking into the US to have babies that are automatically citizens who are entitled to Medicaid?
Is it possible the dumb oaf who robbed the bank believing jail was his best path to medical care was deprived of treatment because the US does virtually nothing to stop illegal aliens from getting billions of dollars of free care?

wait. watch. see.
But the biggest threat to President Obama's plan is both widely overlooked and absolutely fundamental. The measure aims to vastly increase health care coverage while effectively freezing the ranks of the already-busy providers needed to furnish all those extra check-ups, cancer screenings and angioplasties: America's physicians.
"If you expand demand and cut the fees -- the main thing the law does to reduce costs -- doctors will simply say, 'I don't need you,' and take higher-paying customers," says Dr. Richard Cooper, an oncologist at the University of Pennsylvania and expert on the doctor supply issue. "It's already happening with Medicare and Medicaid patients, and will only get worse."
The looming doctor shortage creates three unintended forces bound to block the objectives the plan is designed to achieve. First, Medicare and Medicaid patients will increasingly face long waits to see a doctor, if they can find a physician to treat them at all. Second, people who need care urgently will flood already overloaded emergency rooms, just the scenario the plan is trying to avoid. Third, the tight restrictions on the number of physicians make it extremely difficult for insurers to find HMOs or medical groups craving new business, and hence willing to accept deep discounts in exchange for new patients.

Here's alittle news on taxes and other costs of doing business in the US.
ReplyDeleteWhen the real issue is the cost/productivity of labor in other countries versus the US, the ONLY tool the US government has is the power to raise and lower taxes.
Thus, as we have seen, the all-in costs of manufacturing in other countries is lower than the all-in costs here. However, the US has the advantage of political stability.
Thus, companies in the US don't have to fear their assets will be seized by the government. Of course asset seizures happen in other countries. Saudi Arabia seized US oilfield assets long ago. Venezuela seized a lot of US oil drilling assets last year.
Nigeria seized US assets several years ago. Nigerian seized US refineries. But, true to form, the idiot Nigerians lacked the brains to run them. Thus, all the refineries eventually stopped operating. Then the Nigerians called the American companies to help them. Now the refineries are running again.
Obama, in his infinite stupidity, has caused the government to impose a de facto tax on Americans by refusing to allow the expansion of oil drilling here. He is single-handedly forcing the US to rely on more imported oil than would free-market forces. In the end, his way means less jobs here, less oil tax revenue collected here, more imported oil, and more profits on imported oil remaining outside the US in the foreign accounts of Exxon, etc.
So, if the incompetent in the White House lowered the tax rate on profits earned outside the US, that money would begin to flow into the US economy. He could lower the tax rate to zero. Then a lot of money would flow into the US economy. But he's too smart for anything like that.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's health care law would let several million middle-class people get nearly free insurance meant for the poor, a twist government number crunchers say they discovered only after the complex bill was signed.
The change would affect early retirees: A married couple could have an annual income of about $64,000 and still get Medicaid, said officials who make long-range cost estimates for the Health and Human Services department.
Up to 3 million people could qualify for Medicaid in 2014 as a result of the anomaly. That's because, in a major change from today, most of their Social Security benefits would no longer be counted as income for determining eligibility.

I wish those who speak of Medicaid and Medicare actually knew how these worked. You should surely know when you get to be my age and use them. Medicare is not FREE, it cost $110/mo now with a $200 deductible and it DOES NOT COVER ALL OF YOUR MEDICAL EXPENSES. You will have to pay for additional private insurance to cover those and usually with a copay.
ReplyDeleteIf you have to go to a nursing home in your old age, make sure you don't have any assets, because if all states are like mine that Medicaid will come out of your estate, that means NOT FREE. You will have to be really well to do to afford $9000/mo +, and you may even have to pay out of your own pocket too with Medicaid.
I know, all those poor people, some of whom are the working poor who may have house, that the state my put a lien on for Medicaid. In time their will be more old people than younger people without insurance.
Be sure to opt out of these when you need them. If all opted out, that think this isn't what government shouldn't be doing; Medicare and Medicaid would be solvent.

Free? Who said FREE? Somebody gets paid to provide the healthcare AND somebody pays for it. Taxpayers get hit for $300 Billion.
Medicare and Medicaid take a huge bite. Medicare costs about $8,000 per enrollee.
Meanwhile, the lowest healthcare expenditures in the US occur in Utah, home of the Mormons. They disapprove of alcohol, smoking and coffee. The benefits of their clean living are evident in their healthcare bills.
If the entire country followed their example, our national healthcare bill would drop by a full one-third.
If people cut way back on drinking, stopped smoking, ate right and got a little exercise, our national healthcare bill would drop in response to prevention. That's free.
Lung cancer and emphysema would almost disappear if America quit smoking. COPD would drop sharply if people ate right and got a little exercise.
Then there might be money for the poor slob who wants to go to jail for the healthcare given to prison inmates.
By the way, a lot of inmates are illegal aliens.

The Justice Department, which oversees the ATF, says the idea was to allow the sale of handguns, AK-47s and .50 caliber rifles to so-called "straw purchasers," who'd then pass them along to the cartels. In theory, ATF agents would then trace the extent of the smuggling networks in an effort to stop the illegal cross-border gun trade.
Oops No 1: The agency had no real way to trace the guns once they left the country -- and no real power to operate in Mexico.
Oops No. 2: The gangs used the weapons for what you'd expect. At least two American agents have been killed with Fast and Furious guns. God knows how many Mexicans have died; since 2006, more than 40,000 have died in the drug wars.

...and got a bunch of German engineers...
Werner von Braun? Big deal. As if the only development after WWII that mattered was rocketry. In terms of war, the atomic bombs that hit Japan were dropped from airplanes, a delivery system that is part of our nuclear arsenal today.
...and Russia had not launched Sputnik and scared the hell out of everybody...
Going to the Moon was a great feat. It was thrilling and the thought of it all gets me all misty. But there's no evidence it changed anything on earth. You're probably one of those people who believes a vast array of commercial products were part of the outcome of the Space Race. But that's one of the great myths of the going to the Moon.
...this country would not gave spent billions on science education which led to NASA...
What? The same old schools -- MIT, CalTech, etc -- provided the engineers and scientists. Offhand, I can't think of a single science/engineering school that was founded in the 1950s. But, yes, a a number of people joined in to form NASA. But it's not as though the Space Race required millions of workers. But it did require millions of taxpayers.
... a slew of engineers and an influx of mioney building schools this would still have been a backwards, racist and superstitious nation on the whole.
Schools? Engineering schools? What schools? After WWII the country went on a school building binge to make classrooms for the millions of kids born to WWII vets.
Schools were for the Baby Boom generation, which peaked at about 75 million people -- everyone born from 1946 to 1964. Building schools had nothing to do with the Space Race.

You do realize that you are in the minority not because the world is stupid and you are not. No, quite the opposite. History will show you each and every one of your idealogies has been tried, tested and failed. Oftentimes with horrific results as the ones putting forth the communistic/liberal/marxist theories also thought they knew better then everyone and killed them to prove it.

I wonder how van jones is going to get around saying that beck committed slander calling him a marxist, because he hasn't been much of one lately. Hmmmmm??? Or is that to complicated for you?
What grade did you drop out of High School? Did you go? Sorry you hate jews, don't go the way of Hitler although you already are a socialist/communist/marxist/democrat.

ReplyDelete"Yes it is. In Cuba, it's a failure."
How do you know? Have you lived there?
"The cost of Medicare and Medicaid are two of our governments largest expenditures."
As Hathor has so eloquently put i and let me reiterate, after the government has taken our money all these years for Social Security,IT STILL MAKES THE OLDSTERS PAY THROUGH THE NOSE FOR MEDICARE!!!
"Do you believe doctors, nurses, hospital personnel, therapists, etc believe they should take a big pay cut?"
If the cost of living weren't so high, YES!
"Should drug companies stop developing drugs?"
Drug companies are theives. they refuse to allow other companies to produce the drugs generically untill they have made a fortune. The majority of these drugs aren't even completely tested for safety before they are being sold at astronomical prices!! But I know you know that!
Do you think it would cut healthcare costs if people from other countries were stopped from sneaking into the US to have babies that are automatically citizens who are entitled to Medicaid?
No! and let's leave the strawmen for the cornfields.
illegal aliens from getting billions of dollars of free care?
Strawman, but I'll answer anyway, these illegals are WORKING HERE IN CASE YOU HADN'T NOTICED!!!
I think it's a damn shame that so many working American familiues don't have 100 bucks in savings or health and dental plans, that's what I think! and I'm talking black AND white!
"You're probably one of those people who believes a vast array of commercial products were part of the outcome of the Space Race."
ReplyDeleteMissing the point entirely I see. The space race was but one a part of the investment into technology and engineering. Keep up son.
"Schools? Engineering schools? What schools? After WWII the country went on a school building binge to make classrooms for the millions of kids born to WWII vets."
Good catch, but why aren't there more schools being built as our population keeps expanding? Also, think about the curricula installed in the schools.
"I can't think of a single science/engineering school that was founded in the 1950s"
That's because you think in a linear blind fashion. Florida Tech was created in the 60's because the thousands of engineers involved in NASA wanted a school to attend and send their kids to. Missed again sonny, stick around you might learn a thing or two.
"Schools were for the Baby Boom generation, which peaked at about 75 million people -- everyone born from 1946 to 1964. Building schools had nothing to do with the Space Race."
So by your logic the leaps forward in computer technology and aerospace design had NOTHING to do with the space race. Sure Slappz, whatever you say dude. Thousands of engineers say otherwise but I'm sure you're an expert on this matter too.
"So many smart people have been driven from this board because of hate."
ReplyDeleteWhich is why you're still here because you and your namesake are dumb as rocks. You are free to leave whenever you see fit son. Bet nobody misses you either;-)
"How do you know? Have you lived there?"
ReplyDeleteC'mon Desert, you know Slappz is our resident expert in EVERY field. Whether it be education, engineering, history, Islamic culture or bedwetting Slappz is a genius. Just smile and nod and be nice to the individual.
1958 Brevard Engineering College is founded by by Dr. Jerome P. Keuper to offer continuing education opportunities to scientists, engineers and technicians who are working for NASA at Cape Canaveral. working at what is now Kennedy Space Center. The new school grew quickly, in many ways paralleling the rapid development of space technology that was taking place at Cape Canaveral
ReplyDeleteSlappz says: "Offhand, I can't think of a single science/engineering school that was founded in the 1950s"
But I can. What does that tell you son? Maybe you should STFU sometimes and you might learn something.

ReplyDeleteThen why did you insult this guy and say he was mental?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was not meant as an insult.
As health professionals we are taught and know from experience that when a person has a pressing urgent, emergent medical need, be it trauma, or whatever the crisis may be. The mental state of the patient as well as their family and immediate friends that may accompany them, is altered.
The mental state is altered because of the medical situation/crisis.
Health professionals are taught this so that we may be able to deal with and manage more effectively the situations that arise.
It is said that they are not in their "right" mind. As can be witnessed by a screaming parent running into an emergency room with a collapsed child in arms.
This gentleman's actions are those of a person in an altered state of mind.
But in addition,as I watched the interview video, his eyes and manner of expressing himself are giveaways to the fact that there is something not quite right here. If he has ruptured disks why not file for disability instead of waiting in jail three years til he's 62 and can collect regular SS?? Something is awry and it's entirely possible that worry and stress over his condition may have pushed him over the edge.
No offense meant. There is no sin or crime in being mentally ill.

Hey Slappz where are ya? You don't like learning things from a Black man or something?
ReplyDeleteChronic pain syndrome with no hope of a cure can be quite daunting. Palliative care is usually the only option. When the insurance runs out or you lose your job and benefits–the lack of pain medication or procedures used to contain it can drive some folks to desperate acts.
ReplyDeleteThe best comedians can’t make this funny especially for most of us who have some compassion for human suffering.
