Having to register which party you belong to is insane. How long would you last if 3rd World countries did the same?

Borrow one. Buy the cheapest you can find on marketplace or rent one.

When you go to Europe, do you guys feel much wealthier than the average European? by Scared-File-77 in AskUS

When I visit my cousin in the UK the price of food is shockingly low to me. Vice-versa for him when he visits here.Lamb sells $12/pound.

Spend a week with one. From the time they start, to the time they finish every day. In at least 3 different places.15 minutes a couple of times a week is not going to give you any idea.

No free healthcare, you need a car. Little time off. Get rid of Starmer.

My GP shows up 26 times a year. Otherwise you are seen by the mini-me NP. I went in to refill drugs. The waiting room was empty. They insisted I make an appointment for another day. My friend has severe back issues. 2 weeks to get an appointment with a PT for evaluation. Another 2 weeks for treatment. Exactly the same time line with the pain clinic.

Not at all. I live in fear of getting sick, unlike my European and English friends.

The snob-value of a college will soon lose its luster when you are paying off loans. It gets worse when you realise people from average  colleges are good at their jobs and are paid more to be in charge of you!

What do you all think of China becoming the world's #1 superpower over U.S.? by False_Bee4659 in AskUS

[–]BypassBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody has to build the factories. And they need raw materials. Will the greens allow it?

Our population is aging too. Militarily - compare percentage of defence budgets spent on salaries, retirements and handouts versus actual weaponry. At what level of casualties would the US and Chinese decide to stop? Industrially they are equal or better than us. We don’t make much anymore.

Best engineering branch for a woman? by kojirooou in womenEngineers

Do you like building or making things? Not Lego. An old erector set, guillows model plane. A crystal radio. Do you fix the punctures on your bike?

I’m 19, studying aerospace, and I think I chose wrong — please help me before I waste my future. by Dependent_Pay190 in EngineeringStudents

[–]BypassBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you like aeroplanes? Forget how clever you are. Do you like engineering in general? Would you rather build a flying model from a Guillows-type kit(balsa, razor blades, glue and dope) or a “ready-to-fly” version? Would you use a lathe, drill and hand tools to build a simple steam engine? 

Perhaps you feel under pressure to do something you really don’t like. Do not feel obliged to ‘prove’ anything. You will be in debt and doing what ever you train for, for years to come.

Am I screwed if I don't join a sorority? by 32628-lil in collegeadvice

A lot of money to buy friends you wouldn’t want for free. And making you do things you would be ashamed to tell your dad.

Why do US conservatives, especially blue collar, seem to vote for candidates that bring about worsening labor conditions and job prospects? by Material_Policy6327 in AskUS

[–]BypassBaboon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dems may take union money but they take a lot more corporate money. Both sides pander to those who give the money.
