What lies are being spread?

Okay, you've managed to convince me you're trolling, so I'm going to leave it there. You do you boo.

Surely you can see why people would be sceptical of your claim? If I told everyone I have a talking dog, but whenever they ask for proof I tell them I don't care to provide any, I wouldn't expect them to believe me.

And yet you can't produce any.

What do you imagine his intent could have been when twice performing a gesture that the majority of people will identify as a Nazi salute, other than him performing a Nazi salute?

Insurance generally, yes. But health insurance, no, especially when it could be funded by taxes like in other countries and still have that same element of shared risk, but without the perverse incentive to let people die just to create a little more profit for the precious shareholders.

Which I appreciate is what you said, but I thought it bore repeating. Other forms of insurance I suspect would be harder to nationalise, but in theory there's no reason they couldn't.

A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

He'd be lucky to just be fired.

I feel I've made myself perfectly redundant.

 

Curious as to what others do once they've opened their advent calendar for the day, take the door off, leave it open, close it, or something else entirely?

Personally, I've always removed them, along with the foil inside the door, looks neater and it's easier to find subsequent days. Others don't seem to agree with me on this one though, so I'll be interested to see what you fine folk think.
