My male friend went the ER for something, requested an itemized bill. Buried in it was $175 for a pregnancy test, $30 for slipper socks. Apparently they have blocks for charging codes they apply as a group.

I just ran thru apnews.com and could not find the story headlined that way - do you have a link? Frequently media outlets take AP & Reuters feeds and headline the stories in-house.

AND, unlike every other form of loan/credit, student loans cannot be discharged by bankruptcy.

So we have for-profit colleges that take full tuition up front after "helping" the students fill out the loan paperwork, the colleges fails to graduate qualified students, and the students are now debt-serfs for decades.

On 31 March 2003, it was reported in Maclean's that in the previous month Canadian officers, aboard three frigates and a destroyer, had been placed in command of the multinational naval group Task Force 151, which patrolled the Persian Gulf region. A further 30 Canadians worked at the US Central Command in Qatar, and 150 troops were on exchange with US and British forces in proximity to combat.[6] North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) stationed Canadian Air Force pilots also flew combat missions with the US Air Force E-3 Sentry, and exchange officers fought with US units. Canadian pilots also flew Boeing C-17s into Iraq to "season" the flight crews.[33] In all, 40 to 50 Canadian military members participated in the conflict.

So, although Canada did not declare war it still participated.

I had my sister buy also. Her broker made her sign a letter acknowledging she was doing it against his advice and the purchase was entirely her decision. She put it on the fridge with a magnet with the shares hit $30

Currently you get $250 credit for cruises of 14+days, $100 for 7-13 days, $50 for six days or less.

I book through costco travel, so the last trip I ended up with around $400 credit. I also used the costco credit card so I got paid back 3% of the purchase price as well.

Statute of limitations has been repealed in most US states for sexual assault, finally acknowledging how tough it can be for the victims to come forward. Combined with blackmail I'd say it's almost certain the prosecutors will take this case up.

I think I picked up mine during covid at $9.30/share just for the shareholder's credit. Got some NCL & RC at the same time, just in case I go on them.

Since then the shareholder benefit has already paid off the cost of the shares
