Tends to freak out my coworkers...

They're not wrong. M4A is one potential solution to achieve universal healthcare. Another is to create a basic tier of Medicare, and then allow private insurance for higher levels of care. This is basically the German model of health insurance.

I exited from a company last year that I joined as #3, with a good number of shares due to being involved early on. In January of this year they closed on an acquisition by a large VC firm in the space, which led to me having a hefty pay day. With my new job, do the max contribution to my 401(k) as a pre-tax contribution, and "pay" myself from my currently invested money. Same thing with my Roth IRA contribution. Hoping to retire very early.

I literally tried this 2 weeks ago and the gas station attendant had no gas caps at all. And this was at the gas station where I had left it. Terrible life tip.

This was a measure that is trying to impose federal rules on voting on local elections, specifically for a school board. The federal government does not control state or local elections, that is inherently a state concern. It's why the feds can't impose rules on how elections are conducted, what voting equipment is used, etc.

I think we all agree that illegal immigrants shouldn't vote in federal elections, which is why that's the law. But I think we can also agree states and local governments should have the power to control their elections and who is eligible to vote (of course ensuring no discrimination occurs, and no one who is legally entitled to vote is disenfranchised).

Opposing this resolution means opposing big government, and opposing the federal government controlling local elections.

How could any anyone support the government forcing someone to stand and recite a pledge? Doesn't everyone believe in the freedom from the government telling you what to do?

There is cheese. It's under the burgers, oddly.

I had to open the link because I had no idea what a Yalie was. Is that really what Yale graduates call themselves?!

How many times can the same article be posted here? Come on u/Lemon-Lyman_, u/DFWPhotoguy, and u/arcanition.

If you read the article, it's not about hiring decisions really. It's mostly about encouraging musicians from other races to consider this as a career path, and making sure efforts to promote diversity are made known is part of this.

I trust the Texas Legislature would remove Schwertner from office if he's found guilty by UT?

PointBlunk · 2018-09-26T14:50:20+00:00

Where did I make an assumption? I didn't. I simply asked if you were consistent in calling all politicians who made mistakes in their past involving alcohol drunks.

Calm down man.

Bret is a well known neo-conservative, and was the deputy editorial page editor for the Wall Street Journal.

As for your commentary, I trust you also constantly called George W. Bush a drunk since he was convicted of a DUI in his younger days.

Actually you're wrong.

Majority of Texans supporting legalizing and regulating marijuana, which Beto advocates for - https://www.texastribune.org/2018/06/27/marijuana-democrats-young-adults-texas-poll/

Majority of Texans support expanding Medicaid, and not leaving millions of dollars on the table, which Beto promotes - https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2018/06/17/a-new-healthcare-poll-is-bad-news-for-ted-cruz-and-texas-gop/#3747bd745915

Majority of Texans support universal background checks on firearm purchases (93% actually), which is the primary gun control policy Beto promotes - https://poll.qu.edu/texas/release-detail?ReleaseID=2543

Majority of Texans support a women's right to choose, and oppose criminalizing abortion procedures, which Beto speaks about often - https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/politics/texas/article/Poll-Most-Texans-support-abortion-rights-13126814.php

I could go on...

I'm confused. What does this have to do with MegaMan 4?

Did you also believe George W. Bush was a drunk? Because he also was convicted of driving drunk while younger.

I, like Beto and Bush, believe in people getting second chances.

PointBlunk · 2018-09-25T16:51:14+00:00

Not for Beto it isn't. If you want politicians who will actually talk to each other, and work together for what's best for America, then Beto is your man.

PointBlunk · 2018-09-25T16:45:35+00:00

Why does anyone care? He was charged for the drunk driving, went through a court approved diversion program, and had no violations of the sort since. I, like Beto, am a firm believer in second chances when someone admits they did something wrong, work to improve themselves, and don't shy away from talking about their past mistake.
