The place this group chose to feed people was creating a nuisance and they were asked to move it elsewhere. They were given an acceptable place just a few blocks away, and refused to move. The story has been sensationalized to make it seem Houston is against helping the homeless.
Yeah, my first color inkjet was an HP and it was an absolute workhorse. I had a graphic design business and I remember printing 1500 4-page newsletters for a client who couldn’t wait for a regular printing press due to a deadline. I stayed up all night feeding paper into that thing and had to change the black ink cartridge twice, for about $50 each, during the whole ordeal. I loved that printer. When it finally died after 15 years or so, I tried to find another HP that could do the job. What a mistake. Current models are hot garbage.
So now I have an Epson Ecotank which I bought three years ago and literally have not yet had to purchase additional ink past the first set of bottles that came with it. Sadly, the photo printing quality is not as good as the old HP, but for my purposes it is perfect.
Anecdotally, I recently had an issue with my printer and used Google to search for the exact error message (something like ’ “error 4308e ink absorber pad is full” Brother JW539DW ') and the first three pages of results were random garbage about other things. If other search engines are worse, we are doomed.
Don’t cosign anything for a friend, ever. It will screw up your friendship.
Bingo. Most of these tax schemes will hurt the renter, not the landlord.
Honestly I hope he keels over and Harris gets nominated.
I was born in 1962 and I consider myself a Boomer. I have a friend born in 1961 who considers himself GenX. It’s life circumstances and attitude that determine where you fit.
Also, everybody please remember all these generational labels are made-up bullshit and vast generalizations that might be useful for some meta-analysis of trends, but they’re less than useless when it comes to understanding individual behavior.
Like I taught my kids, the minute you start thinking all people in “Group Whatever” are alike, you lose.
I have a theory that part of this is due to the dying out of religion as a way to keep the masses in line.
It should be tied to federal minimum wage. You want a raise? The rest of us get one, too.
Gosh why can’t the Democrats nominate somebody else? Ugh
Pick a country that’s not tearing down billions of housing units that aren’t habitable
The seditionists were likely well armed, so firing at them might have felt like suicide.
TBF we are talking about unrealized gains. Their investments are worth more on paper, but until they sell them, the actual profit or loss will fluctuate. It would be an accounting nightmare to figure tax on unsold investments every year. I do, however, think capital gains should be taxed at the same rate as wage income.
A lot of doctors get their degree in Canadian schools and then go work in the USA, so I do think if Canada compensated better they could retain more people
This is the way.
Canadian single-prayer healthcare doesn’t include dental; you need a private policy for that. I never visited the dentist when I lived there, but I presume since it’s for profit it’s better. Are you in a small town or something? My big city seems to have a surfeit of dentists
It was an acquaintance, but yes. Thing is, if you don’t have insurance, your price is usually deeply discounted. A few weeks ago I needed a scan of a vein for a blood clot. My copay was $300 (and who knows how much the total paid by insurance would be), but they said I could just pay cash and not go through insurance and it was only $130. That’s part of the problem with our system.
Sorry to hear that. These things ought not to be in a society as wealthy as ours
I knew a lady with heart palpitations who was told the first appointment (Alberta) would take six months. She went to Idaho and got seen right away by paying cash. They diagnosed her with a condition that needed surgery. Even with the diagnosis, it was going to be another six months to get the surgery in Alberta. So she went back to Idaho and got the surgery right away. It cost a few thousand dollars. So it’s just a two-toer system with extra steps at that point
