  1. Think he was caught shopping here. http://www.tallmenshoes.com/
  2. All good points. On the bold, that leads to what we now have, a rationed health care system.
  3. Unless he is into VBA automation, he does not know how to work a real spreadsheet. Just the very basic fluff stuff.
  4. Nothing wrong with that so long as your not hiding, can't remember you doing that.
  5. No shit, use the frigging ignore feature if you are that weak. Seriously Dave I can't keep track of the name changes, maybe a cross reference spreadsheet is in order.
  6. I don't get it either, but this made me laugh.
  7. Thank GOD there is streaming re-runs.
  8. Like I said before, Jim was at his finest in that show. But the rest of the cast members were awesome and each carried their own weight, even siblings. No affirmative action claims could be made against that show.
  9. Really forgot how funny that show was and how many great comedians they had. Those Wayans had it then.
  10. That's great xcr, my wife doesnt care for powersports, but I did get her to pay for my new jetski earlier this season.
  11. Its owned by a Republican. I bet slope wears an 'I love Trump' pin on his clip-on-tie just to to kiss ass.
  12. I have to start streaming episodes now. Man I forgot how funny that show was.
  13. Jim Carrey was at his best on that show.
  14. X2. If you disagree with the dems you are either a racist or homophobe.
  15. Health Minister Jane Philpott will stop using a pricey limousine service owned by a Liberal supporter after Conservatives complained about a $1,700 bill for transportation in the Greater Toronto Area. Philpott said in a statement Wednesday the price tag was "too high" and "inappropriate." "I have already taken steps to prevent this from occurring in the future," she said. While Philpott's office said the minister won't use the limo service again, it stopped short of saying she would repay the money, noting the transportation was for legitimate business. While the Tories demanded Philpott repay the $1,700, her office revealed even higher expenses paid to the same limo service — Executive Sedan Livery Service Inc. — including a $1,994 bill for a car on the day the minister spoke at a July gathering of the Assembly of First Nations in Niagara Falls, Ont. The minister also paid the company $3,814 for 20 trips to Toronto's Pearson Airport before flying to Ottawa for ministerial business. The limo service is owned by Reza Shirani, who was a volunteer on Philpott's election campaign last year. Philpott's office admitted the minister was aware of that connection when she used the service. Tory health critic Colin Carrie said Philpott must immediately reimburse taxpayers. "I think the average Canadian can connect the dots here — she has overpaid a Liberal activist three times the going rate. We are not talking the going rate," Carrie said in an interview. "Some people would call this a kickback. She needs to pay it back. She signed off on these ... This is not a one time mistake." Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Aaron Wudrick agreed. "Clearly there is an acknowledgment that something is wrong, which is why they are not doing it anymore," he said. "Why are they not reimbursing taxpayers if they acknowledge that it is wrong?" The spending reflects poor political judgment, NDP MP Charlie Angus said. "I think what is worrisome here is this pattern," he said. "She becomes the minister and suddenly there is a level of Bev Oda-style entitlement." In 2012, former International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda agreed to repay almost $3,000 she charged taxpayers for the use of a luxury car and driver while staying at a posh hotel in London. Philpott's use of the costly car service should have been flagged sooner, Angus added. "No one is asking minister Philpott to lug it on the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) ... but spending amounts like $1,700 a day, literally helping a Liberal friend through a limousine service is not acceptable." Its not a lot of money but the LibTard Health Minister Jane Philpott wants to payback an activist by grossly overpaying for services and then does not want to pay it back even acknowledging its wrong. She should be fired for breach of trust. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/philpott-ground-transportation-1700-bill-1.3725211
  16. The problem then becomes Americans do not want to have to wait for tests like MRI's etc when they look at other countries. Those with good (overpriced) insurance do not want to give anything up for those without. That's got to give somewhat. Not advocating for the US to follow Canada's healthcare but there are good models at lower costs that what Americans are paying. Its shameful to hear some of the stories ie, of a citizens home belonging to an insurer for medical costs etc.
  17. He did try but failed. The core care should not be in the hands of private insurers. Maybe a two-tier system, the first that covers basic essential medical needs at no cost to the individual and then a second tier for those with better insurance. Shit even Costa Rica has that.
  18. I don't really have an issue with giving someone a hand to get themselves planted. The problem with Tards is they don't want the masses to become self sufficient.
  19. Seriously 02, 95% of financial advisers can beat the inflation index and will have you in POS investments earning less than 3%, while they take a fee. Get a premium Morningstar account and do your own research or if you decide to use an FI, make sure you interview them and see what they are invested in. In they are not in the same investments and risk category as you, keep looking until you find one. Forget trying to buy the next Apple or Microsoft, let professional management research the companies and diversify the risk with above average and top quartile returns.
  20. Read below SS just like our CPP is a royal scam. What about the same average couple making 100K who decides to blow everything they earn and when it comes to retirement will be on welfare, jet the first couple pays their own way. How is that fair, we all pay cause deadbeats can't look after themselves.
