    I gave up a long time ago to correct people of low intellect. While healthcare neither in Canada nor New Zealand is perfect it goes in the right direction. That can't be said for your neighbor to the South. The US from the beginning has been designed to be a place for wealthy and powerful elites that control it all at the expense of a working class that is given the illusion that they are somewhat in control of their own future. They are not. Some dimwits honestly believe they are given freedom and power because they are able to purchase an AR-15, lol. What is currently happening in the US is the ultimate and final power grab. The only question that will be asked is whether the common man will revolt and rage against the machine or whether the elites are able to make the working class go away quietly. Nothing else really matters in the US at this point.

    None of those warehouse staffers and paper shufflers will be needed in 2-3 years, a lot will be automated.

    the tape is to protect the finish on the rifle from the bare metal of the hammer - it's scientific.

  8. Different people, different preferences.
    Some Canadians told me: medicine is OK, but they have to wait in case of special appointments.
     
  9. Well, we did not pay 60% taxes to Uncle Sam. But Canadian and European do.
    Do you know where is really free medicine - in UAE.
    Do you know why - because they do not still from their people ;)

    That is why Canadians cross the border into the US for quicker and more advanced treatment.
