That's the same view members of my family have. Yet some of them are on food stamps and mad that they can't get Medicaid. Well, duh, when you support the very politicians that are fighting against YOUR ability to get food and healthcare when you're on hard times, that's what happens.
I live in the South and there's so many people that are so ingrained in the belief that they don't want to pay for other people, that they forget that they could easily lose everything and need a crutch to get back on their feet.
"After he was discharged from the hospital, Oregón went to the disability office, filed the appropriate paperwork, and, in September of 2014, acquired his Medicaid card. Two months later, however, he received notice that his health-care benefits had been terminated. S.S.D.I. payments are calculated according to a person’s average lifetime earnings before he became disabled. When Oregón’s started coming in, they amounted to nine hundred and twelve dollars per month, which put him over the Texas income threshold. The fact that he had paid into Social Security, in other words, made him ineligible for social health care."
This is insane. Just plain insane. All because he earned almost $200 in disability money above the already low threshold.
Really nice! This is a lot more convenient than opening a Print dialog and choosing to save as PDF, which doesn't always work like you want it to. I haven't used ePub format yet, but it seems to be a format gaining traction in the eBook world.
I actually enjoy articles that allow comments, because I like to read what people have to say about it before I actually read it. I don't really know why, maybe to gauge whether or not I want to get more information about the topic that the article title doesn't already provide.
I haven't read the article this thread is about yet, either, because the title gives me all the information I need at this moment. I know how crazy the comments were getting for NPR, which I started reading regularly a while back because they allowed comments on their posts. Now, I skip the comments if I'm reading an NPR article because most of the time it's some guy spewing something about how Obama is destroying the country when the article has nothing to do with politics in the slightest.
I had to do an international marketing plan for a local business in one of my marketing classes in school, and the local startup my group chose did exactly this. Their products were so spread out across so many different industries, there was no telling where their focus was.
They were also into consulting, so whatever product they thought up for one customer, they started advertising on their website as a finished product. The product we were focusing on exporting to another country had 1 customer...the one that commissioned the product. We actually didn't learn that until halfway into the project, but by that point, we were already leaning towards suggesting that they forget about exporting any product overseas and focus on getting more business in our area.
There was a security/malware book bundle a good while back that had some interesting books in it. Sadly, I keep forgetting that I got that bundle and haven't read any of them, but I know one book in the bundle was used for a malware analysis class at my university at some point. I'm definitely going to get this bundle and remember to download and read the malware books I got.
