I don't think you can blame it all on Obamacare. I vividly remember wondering "How TF do people with families afford this?!" when looking at the individual vs. family insurance at a job back in 2002. Premiums were skyrocketing then, and they've been skyrocketing ever since.

The same way they do on Earth. Up towards the outside, down towards the center. Of course, most of the elevator shafts would only go down partway.
But -- since we see artificial gravity in Star Wars, you could say that all the rooms in the Death Star are laid out as haphazardly as the toys in a kid's box. It wouldn't be the silliest thing in the franchise, after all.
Exacto
I've loved "we'll burn that bridge when we come to it" ever since a character in Robert Asprin's Mythadventures series used it. Fun books.
Use the force, NegativeNull!
Not attacking at all. OP asked for advice, you basically told them where to go, and now you're acting wounded when people call you out on it? C'mon.
Not everyone is capable of learning or figuring it out.
Think about childhood dream jobs like rock star or astronaut.
Rock star: You need musical talent and stage presence, enough to entertain lots of people with your music. Me, I can sing in the shower and play some simple tunes on an instrument, but I'd starve if I tried to make it as a simple busker.
Astronaut: NASA requires a master's degree in a STEM field, at least 1000 hours as a jet pilot, and that you pass a physical. Not everyone is capable of earning a master's degree. Not everyone will be capable of learning to fly planes. And the physical -- ever heard of a blind astronaut? Or how about conditions where your bones are brittle? Hop on the rocket - SNAP! Oops, broken legs. Etc.
Bears don't have spots, you're thinking of leopards.
then there really is no hope for this world.
I don't know how to tell you this, but....
A bookshelf filled lovingly, one enjoyable page at a time!
I recognize some of the titles. Good taste :D
Dude, if you want to be an asshole in the thread, go ahead, but don't piss on the OP and tell him it's rain.
What would you call it? What's your objection to the term "employee benefits"? You sound like you have an axe to grind, but I don't get your angle.
