Hey man , your last sentence hit home for me . My dad is similar to you, I grew up in a household like that. I know the struggles .

Way I always described it as this, you are in a hole and every time you try to climb out of the hole you fall back in and it’s even deeper than before . I know hard work man trust me! I know what it’s like coming down to the last dollar , wearing one pair of shoes for the entire year and they had to last the whole year etc etc . You can make it out .

Hey you dont stop trying to provide for your family and I have never heard you make an excuse. You always seem to be positive and count your blessings. Thats what makes a man to me. Tip of the hat sir!

I believe if there is ever one. It will be whites and blacks and Hispanics against one another. Pretty much a war of patriots vs liberals/socialist. I would expect it to be a lot of whites vs blacks. They would call in UN troops just like if they were to ever go after guns. Sounds crazy to think it could happen but history does usually repeat itself in some manner. Like did anyone really think we would see the lawlessness we have seen and defunding police? Did anyone ever see whites being called white privileged? Told in some cities that being white is wrong? Did anyone see cities and politicians saying there needs to be reparations to blacks? That blacks should get free health care? That blacks go to school before whites in Seattle? I did say America was not invincible and was laughed at about it. Laugh again. All it takes is a couple of white supremacy idiots to start shooting and look out. Riots will be worse and then rise of vigilantes . Every civilization has its point of enough.
No one thought Pearl Harbor or 9/11 could happen.

There is no way the UN is coming for your guns.

Question for someone who is more knowledgeable than me... what benefit do health insurance companies provide to consumers? They profit 30 billion+ per year. I get the benefit to shareholders (my 401k is partially in health insurance). But what efficiencies do they bring vs socialized healthcare? I feel like they just middle man profit to shareholders and executives.
Click to expand...
I am not sure you can compare them. One is an insurance company and does not run hospitals like the other. Think about it. But, socialized anything, is not for profit.
No profit = no firing and laziness
No firing = poor performance, poor service, and poor financial responsibility
Examples- Russian's bread lines in the 90's. Venezuela's underperfoming oil sector and food shortags. Cuba's just recent food shortages. Seems like a repeating theme. Just take a look at the bread alise of a Walmart. A plethora of choices. Note: two of these socialist countries are AMAZINGLY wealth with natural resources. It is human nature for people to be lazy, and, socialism magnifys it.

Q
A majority of the socialist are white, there is zero chance of a race war. If there was a civil war because of guns being taken by the government, the government would win

I believe you’re wrong. Government would have a hard time enforcing that. Especially with so many members of the armed forces that would refuse to follow that order.

Sometimes blessings isn’t the stuff you have or amount of money. It’s family it’s time spent making memories and it’s happiness. I know a lot of people on the board despise me. But hey I’m alright with that I wouldn’t trade what I have for nothing. Reason I’m Republican is I do not believe the Democratic agenda. Is the one that is best for the future of my kids and there generation in general. Crime no police no freedom isn’t the America there generation deserves.

You go ahead and bow down. I’m not. I’m going down surrounded by empty brass. Better to die standing than live in your knees. I’m sure most of you know how well I’m prepared with brass and things to throw brass.

1. Healthy people pay for the sickest.
2.People have less financial incentive to stay healthy.
3. Long wait times.
4. Doctors may cut care to lower costs.
5.Health care costs overwhelm government budgets.
6. The government may limit services that have a low probability of success.
7. Can’t pick your doctor.
That’s just a few I found.

Add to that wait times to have elective surgeries. In Canada it can be over a year for knee replacements. Which means more time on unemployment or medical leave.

Honestly you'd probably be better off in a country that provides healthcare and college (or trade) opportunities to it's citizens for "free" (yes I know it's not free). Instead you're stuck in a dead end job with 3 kids and are one hospital bill from bankruptcy. But at least you have you're freedom?

You’re kinda acting like a ----, TBH.

I get that, but insurance companies don't provide healthcare. They just middleman the money in the form of premiums and payout less. What is the purpose of that for healthcare.

Probably not but if America descends into a war inside itself. It would be no different than when America goes into other countries to clean up. I’m sure Russia or China would love the opportunity along with the UN. We can never say never.

That’s exactly it. When socialism takes over, those hopes, dreams, and aspirations to really make something of yourself vanish. Capitalism isn’t perfect, but it is by far the best thing out there.

Good luck to him!! She was held to the same standard as the men. She got through Robin Sage and earned her tab. Good for her.

Yeah I have a lot of emotions about it right now. He is as prepared as you can possibly be and determined to make it so well see. By the time his prep schools and indoc are over next year he will be a summer BUDS class so thats a "tad" less suckier than going through hell week in the winter. If Im not mistaken a female made it through SEAL officer screening last year which is impressive so maybe thats coming next. I have no doubt there are females who could handle most of BUDS first phase but the log PT, surf passage and hell week would be brutal. The 30 year old me, no way in hell would I be cool with it. The 50 year old me? If she can make it through the same torture I did, Hooyah! Especially if she looks like Demi ;-)

Man, I was physically fit when I went through basic. 6’2”, 190lbs. I understand that I could do the physical. It’s getting that mental thing down. I don’t give up because I’m hard headed. Could I have been a SEAL? No idea. I’m just dumb enough to not know when to quit. But then again, who knows. I didn’t try it and don’t know how I would have fared. You did. You made it. You made it a career. That’s impressive. Silent professional. Bravo Zulu.

[mention]Sandbar [/mention]is someone who spent a lot of time down range. He made a hell of a lot more sacrifices than me. Both him and I gave up parts of our bodies for Uncle Sam, but he was in the sandbox a looooong time. As the first born of immigrant parents, I had to serve. I felt it was my duty. Hurts like hell to get out of bed every morning and limp around half the day, but it was worth it. Two back surgeries (3rd is needed) two complete knee reconstructions plus six knee arthroscopies and nerve damage down both legs. Wouldn’t change a damn thing.
