Who would pay for decade old, crumbling sneakers when nike is bound to retro them in the future? Over the years, Nike has made sample colorways/models, PE, and prototypes commercially available, and most of the non popular models went to the outlets. The best you can do today is move your Jordans for what you spent on them.

In his mind, they are still worth what he spent

Selling across state lines can work if regulate if properly at the federal level you bundle a few profitable states with lesser ones.

So companies won't be selling insurance in 50 different states, they would be selling it in 4-15 regions.

Make the healthy states help subsidized the costlier ones.

yeah but

Will that keep costs down? Wont the cost of insurance go up in the healthier states? especially with no individual mandate causing the healthier people to not buy insurance, making the insured pool sicker and pushing the costs up ever more?


also usually people who propose this want less federal involvement in healthcare, so I doubt you get strong federal regulation.

-Yes cost will go up in healthier states, and down in sicker ones but on average it may be lower overall. The point is to lover coast on the aggregate.

-I am not arguing in favor of getting rid of the mandate like ole boy who is coming for your neck. I have said repeatedly we need a mandate, you should know this, we have had this discussion before

-Yes, and no, this one of the ways Medicare Advantage got patched a while back. And I'm not making a political argument anyway, I was making an economic one. Even if Dems had the power to strengthen the ACA, this can be used with a stronger mandate to further spread out cost.

With the pipeline stuff. To keep it funky. They need to stop holding hands and signing we are the world and dead that peaceful protest crap if they want to be taken seriously.

Why do you think Isis has the Middle East shook? Because they're chopping heads off, not singing songs.

Grab their bows and arrows or strap up. A ceo of a company who wants to build a pipeline views them as nothing but an annoying inconvenience he'll disperse of in a way that's not damaging public relations wise. The CEO doesn't think he can get touched. When their protest instill fear it'll get results.

They tried that back in the 70's

I know you personally support a mandate I was just trying to understand the theory or what republicans want to do.

The French tend to do it when they protest. They call it bossnapping [emoji]128514[/emoji]. Of course, their cops are not as trigger happy as ours, so that helps.

Personally I want to see Ninja sell off some of his sneaker collection and use the resell money that he gets to invest in da energy market he has been saying will magically rise up to astronomical figures. Save that bankrupt coal company Ninja, you can do it!

 

[Belgium]

It's embarrassing. Meanwhile Obama has said or done NOTHING to protect the people on their own damn land

Agreed. I hold Obama in very high regard but how he's handling this pipeline protest, or rather not handling it at all, is just inexcusable.

Even a less lofty goal, actually get the Hemi he's been obsessing over for a decade.

DOG.



Please stop with this. This is not a proposal by itself, to replace obamacare, and would do next to nothing to keep costs down. I've explained why countless times but I will do it again.



It seems like a good idea right? getting rid of imaginary lines right? But it doesn't do anything, now why?



1. Every state has different healthcare regulations and minimum coverage requirements, by allowing states to sell across state lines you would simply create a "Delaware" effect, where insurance providers would all simply move to the state with the laxest insurance regulations.


And it's not even a small government solution because To prevent this you would nee to build a new bureaucracy to regulate healthcare nationally, essentially increasing size of federal goverment.


2. Building insurance networks is hard.


It's not like you can start selling insurance intimidate once you get rid of state liness, you gotta build a coverage networks, gotta make deals with hospitals, doctors and these hospitals and doctors already have deals with entrenched state providers and you gotta comply with state regulations, for insurance providers it's not worth there time.


3. States have tried this and it did nothing.

The barrier to entry is not the imaginary lines b.




So for the love of god can we finally move on from this idea, and come up with real Obamacare replace options? :x

Did I say I said that? I said that was an alternative proposed. Don't sit here and attempt to lecture me. Cats get real comfortable behind these computer screens and love talking greasy. Half the **** y'all say wouldn't be said in person. Not a peep. So don't try to patronize other people on here for props.

I already told your groupie that I'm down to meet in person. Feel free to PM me. I have the whole week off.

I love when ppl get schooled on something thoroughly and the only thing left they can do is attack the tone of the post talking about you wouldn't say this to me in person.

I've encountered this several times the past 2 weeks all e with yall thin skinned easily emotional dudes on NT.

You right though, nobody wasting time to educate ya *** in person.

By my estimates, of 227 million eligible voters in U.S.:

40.3% didn't vote

28.8% voted Clinton

27.7% voted Trump

3.2% voted someone else

But half the country tho...

 

[ksteezy]

If at 33 is taken you 10+ years to put together a chain and Jesus charm on it, you have no net worth.

...and there are no more of an emotional crew here than the one's who do not feel that Fidel Castro deserves props for what attempted to do. You could not wrap your minds around anyone that disagreed with you, with some even trying to get those pro Castro banned. What a bunch of wienies many of you can be.

Doesn't make sense to me why ppl aren't all for universal healthcare /daycare/education ...these are things we all NEED n benefit from n if not thru taxes you gonna come outta pocket for it anyway...I'm the usa ppl cry about not having affordable higher education or access to healthcare but don't want the govt to do anything about it ...ppl r dumb

Exactly. And universal healthcare benefits everyone. Thanks to my new 100% coverage I am able to get treatment from some of the best doctors in the country. I was able to get that new coverage while my condition rapidly declined and my illness does not restrict my health insurance options at all.

And hopefully I can return to the workforce one day when they find out the diagnosis. Without proper insurance I would not have been able to afford the countless medical bills I've racked up the past few years.

What some of these people also fail to realize is that a serious condition could happen to them at any point too. I was in 100% perfect health on all fronts a few years ago, now I'm certified by the state as disabled due to chronic disease.

As a nursing student my health was regularly tested and I did lots of weightlifting and cardio. Then the chronic disease just came out of nowhere and rapidly put me in the position I'm in now. Doctors still don't exactly know the diagnosis after nearly 3 years, much less any anticipation that I would become this ill.

It might be rare but you can develop a severe chronic illness with zero prior indications. I'm the living proof of that.

Case in point

My son bringing his Fidel Castro was a good guy feelings in a completely other thread.

Weinies. So weak.

I aint even talking to or about you and you got that itch but I guess you know you're a part of that group. Develop a thicker skin asap.

I don't agree with Ninja on everything, always told him he's ignorant in thinking Hispanic is actually a race when it's not and he's obviously black. Also can't believe he's a right winger. But to say Ninja is in the worst financial position compared to vast majority of americans is just wrong. Most of those suburban americans are like a layoff away from their corporate jobs to the banking taking everything away from them. At least ninja has sneakers, jerseys and a jesus piece that he can liquidate for $120k cash or so. That's more than could be said for a lot of these suburban americans living in their Mcmansions leveraged to the hilt and praying that upper management of their company aren't about to do a round of layoffs and they're on the chopping block

That's cuz ninja takes advantage of socialist gov. handout systems that are available to ppl in his income bracket.

The whole ninja is poor or doing bad is just jabs based on the appearance of his living situation, what he admits and cavets, and his perspective. He knows that.

Castro did some good things. He also did a whole lot of very bad things. And those overshadow whatever good he did.

At the end of the day he was still an oppressive dictator. You were the one who overlooked all the evil that man did to praise the good things he has done.

There are professional posters on the internet that specialize at being antagonizers, basically because they really have nothing else to lean on. I have noticed a few things, picked up on some stuff because I am new here. I find people like you interesting. No shade, just wondering if there is some sort of prize in behaving as you do. Do people get points on here, free stuff or something? It is quite odd.
