Wheres the Wi-Fi, Verizon doesnt want free Wi-Fi ..

Posted on November 8, 2013 by admin

Free Wi-Fi, free internet phone! Remember all those old phones, but the internet or Wi-Fi still works, potentially we wouldnt need Verizon, or ATT, Sprint.. Face time, tango, oovoo.. Are completely internet based and will become more widely accepted rapidly, but will be slowed due to the large cell companies preventing this technology from coming to market. I would invest in the next 5 mile, 10 mile Wi-Fi! Ask your carrier next time how much just for the data, unfortunately its not offered that way. You can use an old phone today, but Wi-Fi is limited to predominantly your home, work and the coffee shop! But its still free! Posted in Economy | Leave a comment

Perspective on LGBT

Posted on October 31, 2013 by admin As ironically as it sounds I have never had any real enemies, little skirmishes in elementary school, then alcohol and college, alright high school. I had a friend up until a week ago, that I confronted and he came out. Im straight and have never floundered that part of my sexual desires. But two women Thats a different article and probably blog. Ive been confronted by bi-guys a few times, once at the gym, nice guy, just moved into town, he asks if I wanted to go next door and grab some breakfast (sat morn, said hey 3-4x), shortly into the eggs, he asks if I want to go to Atlanta with him. Something about Elton John. Heh. Crazy. My kids high school has a well known boy and 2 girls that are lg, maybe b. I know of the boy And hes extremely flamboyant and very feminin. Anc theres a good chance theres a few others that Have more of an introverted personality. Macklemore solidified the love that two people of the same sex should be allowed the same rights as non lgbt, and has raised awareness of the neglect this group of people have endured, They deserve equal rights as married folk of the opposite sex. Insurance and bank related stuff specifically. So that was all the good, the honest, from the heart kinda stuff. now the not so good. - a subset of of the LG community are extremely over sexual, and overall give the lg community a bad name. - Aids can be transferred in many ways! Anal sex is one way. - when someone has Aids they are in denial and sometimes dont care and have sex without telling their partner(s). - many people with Aids use drugs, and share needles. Approximately 34% of the people who have Aids in NY, were heterosexual, doing drugs with needles. - Almost 30 Billion dollars the US will spend in a year to confront the Aids epidemic, both here in the US and some globally. Too much, if you ask me. If the LGBT community wants support from the more conservative groups, they need to clean their act up. Pledge for safe sex and safe drug use, when needles are involved. This is where a need for awareness needs to take place, by Macklemore! Things are getting better slowly in the US, but undeniably, most world governments want to prevent these relationships. Unfortunately, Im still debating what and how the B & the T part of the LGBT, fit into all this.

Bisexuals, lets think about that for a moment. this category is for people who want multiple partners, from both their own sex and the opposite. I know a few women, that have experienced their own sex but prefer the opposite. I dont know anyone who wants to marry and wed to two other people. And Im really not sure if thats what our society has in mind. i dont care what people want to get involved in. But my thought is there would be tremendous tension trying to satisfy multiple partners. And would fail. Even polygamy is not supported by the Mormons any more. Although it still exists, one man supporting multiple wives and many children, they are not part of the church. I dont believe the women are bi-sexual. The progressives want unisex bathrooms, seriously? That will never happen, but what are the transgenders to do, when they have to use the restroom? They are males, dressed up as a female and vice versa. I do believe it happens, when a boy should have been a girl and vice versa. Promote Safe Sex!

Mexico s junk food tax

Posted on October 18, 2013 by admin Im picking up some last minute items for a kayak trip tomorrow and I couldnt resist what I was looking at, only an hour or so after hearing about the junk food tax. Maybe this tax could pay for all the bariatric surgeries under Obama care?

The Demise of a Democracy

Posted on October 16, 2013 by admin The Demise of a democracy, when a politician is scared to reduce the payout/benefits of any section of a federal program, because, they may not get voted back into office. Including their own benefits! Why would they be worried? Because more people work for, and/or receive benefits from the govt. than work in the private sector. What government employee is going to vote to cut 20% off of social security (ponzI-scheme), Medicare, unemployment, non-profits, military, Medicaid assistance, IRS, CIA, NIH, FDA, and all other programs, NONE!. Our country is spinning out of control. Unfortunately there are almost as many government/public employees compared to the private sector, the public employee makes on average twice that of a private sector employee. Who wouldnt want to work for the government, better salary, benefits and pension, and youll never get laid off!

More government, less capitalism. Get ready its now upon up. And the lobbyists need to go away, and if you work or receive any government funds, you should not be allowed to vote. This would save our democracy and our capitalism for a free economy. Its not free anymore. Unfortunately, this will never happen, and we are going down a one way road to socialism.

Our Government Spending, I repeat is hurting our economy!

Posted on October 16, 2013 by admin

Any government/employee that cant find a way to rid our debt needs to be fired! This link from US News suggests our federal government will be paying a $Trillion dollars a year to pay the INTEREST only on our debt! This is effed up! I cant afford our government spending any more. Posted in Deficit, Democrat Party, Economy, Government, Health Care, Lobbying, Military, Republican Party | Leave a comment

This Independent (me) will vote for republicans who hold their ground
Posted on October 10, 2013 by admin Over the debt limit concerns and will support them regardless if the government shutdown ends today or continues past any deadlines! The federal government employees calling these radio shows crying and sobbing, eyed to file unemployment and go get a real job, paying taxes, not just taking mine.

Time For A Government Employee Reduction Layoff

Posted on October 10, 2013 by admin 22,000 People are expected to be laid off. Why is a federal employee exempt from this type of economic sense? Not only did my premiums rise, my company is laying off 8500 employees worldwide. This will make them stronger, leaner, able to adapt more quickly to market needs. Government, primarily, federal, is the big elephant in the room and doesnt seem to care. Its time, time for government to reduce their spending. Get it under control! President Obama jokes about raising the debt ceiling which has been raised 45 times in the history if the US. Hes personally responsible for increasing our national debt by 6 Trillion dollars. More than any other president, and he still has a couple years to go. Layoffs must take place, across the gama. NIH, FDA, EPA, parks, fed, assistants, irs agents, and even military. Preferably politicians and a complete removal of lobbyist who (corporately) influence the politicians. If the government has any entity that brings in revenue, keep it open. If they are a debit on our financials, cut the department 15%, over the next year. Posted in Deficit, Democrat Party, Economy, Health Care, Republican Party | Leave a comment

Health Insurance Premiums Skyrocket

Posted on October 10, 2013 by admin All/Most Merck Employees will be forced to accept changes to Doc/Hospital/Drug & Dental Coverage.

Preventative Care 100% Covered (Same)

Co-Pays will no longer exist and must meet an individual/family $500/1000 deductible Co-Insurance, will increase from 10 to 20% (in network), after deductible is met Out of Pocket Maximum will be increasing (will

New Drug Insurance Coverage

Co-Pays for a tiered system will no longer exist Co-coverage for Generic and Brand Drugs, (Maximum out of pocket per prescription) Merck drugs for a Merck employees will no longer be available for a $0 copay Newly incorporated, Maximum out of pocket for individuals/family limits

Should I be upset? The cost of providing insurance for my family has just increased 30% from last year, maybe more, starts in January. Increased Premiums, Deductibles, Maximums and Reduced Benefits, no more co-pays, only co-insurance for the Doc, Hospital, Drugs & Dental .. across the board. I thought my premiums were supposed to be reduced .. they were expensive to begin with and this is what I have to look forward to next year? Thanks Affordable Health Care Act. Hope all you medicaid folk eat a steak on me! Cause I wont be able to afford to have one. No disrespect to the emotionally, mentally, and physically handicapped, and those deserving of social security I would still like to help you. But Ill hold my breath for those who are taking advantage of the system, including most politicians and all lobbyists. Oh yeah .. and does our government know how to stop spending when you dont have any money, or do we just take out another credit card and max that one out too! I have a friend in the insurance industry who states, increases for the last several years are a direct result of Obamacare. Rates are going up because now we MUST cover kids until they are 26; we MUST cover preventative procedure with first dollar coverage; and now Obamacare says that Bariatric surgery is minimum essential coverage but hearing aids are not! The dollars to pay for this have to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is us, the Middle class. Every customer she has has felt the pain, especially small businesses. An old friend from Michigan is a Teacher, seasoned as she puts it and her insurance doubled, the new teachers feel even more pain with such a small income as a new teacher. Shes Disgusted. Three years ago .. I had the best health insurance Ive ever had .. $15 copays to any doc, $50 outpatient surgery and two years later not even a co-pay, only co-coverage. Up to a max of course. I am fortunate my company does cover the brunt of the cost. If I were to get it on my own, I probably couldnt afford it for a family of 5. What makes this even more unbearable, our politicians who voted for it didnt even read it they were bribed to vote for it. Most even said they would figure it out after it was in place, what? Adding as many as 16,000 more IRS agents, Congress exempted themselves from their own Health Care bill, the treasury chief whos securing the funding, didnt even pay his own taxes. And we want our government to run this thing? They cant even save the money people put in for their own social security and its now ran like a ponzi scheme. If any fortune 500

company would have a pension in place like our social security system, it would be illegal. FACT Lets fix Medicaid and Low Income Health Care, including people with pre-exisitng conditions. Without raising our middle class premiums and offer the below options for persons in unfortunate circumstances. People that need Optional Government support for food: Oatmeal, powdered milk, frozen orange juice concentrate, family frozen dinners, Local Chicken, Rice, Pasta & Egss. (No Twinkies, cookies or candy, steak or fresh strawberries People that need Optional Government support for Health Care: Temporary birth control implant. All recipients will be tested for drugs, alcohol and nicotine People that need Optional Government subsidized housing: Children under 12 with their mother will stay in the same Military style Barracks, children older than 12 will stay in gender specific housing. Adults will have gender specific housing. The Military style living will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. No tvs or vehicles, Bus passes will be provided free. Either you present a check stub from a job, each week or you will report to a government job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, yard work, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. If we are expected to pay for other peoples losses, we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices. AND While you are on Govt subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Govt welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job. Lets fix this country .. this really is only the tip of the iceberg.

Asking to Increase the debt limit, President Obama

Posted on October 6, 2013 by admin

I heard you talk about our deficit, and you seemed to Mock all 45 other times weve increased the debt Limit. This is absurd. Its time to reduce! Dramatically, and allow those people to give into the tax system instead of only take. I think everyone should be given basic Limited health care. Vaccinations, annual checkup, 3 dr visits and 1 hospital er, per year. Then payment is your responsibility. Simplify, everything. including our tax base. Instead of being based on a persons income, it should be based on what we/they spend it on. Car tax, gas tax, pays for roads. All basic food and health related items should be tax free .. Not sure if any other company in the fortune 100 or the Fortune 500 companies, but none would provide a paid shutdown for more than a million employees. There is no budget and its out of control spending. President Obama belittled our Posted in Economy | Leave a comment
