        It's super stressful deciding on the plan, and then what it covers, then the cost of premiums/deductibles/etc. So remove that stressor with UHC. This illusion of choice on what crummier mickey mouse health insurance you can get is a false freedom. You would be freer if you didn't have to worry about such stuff. And hey corporations/small biz would be happier to get out of employer-based insurance too.

        Quite frankly, I just wanted my old plan back. The private plans were never a stressor, I didn't want gov't helping me. We had long terms savings, being cheap on a lot of stuff. The stressor only cames when gov't with good intentions tried to help, imposed help, but instead maked everything more expensive with less choice. The good thing is some of this has been fixed, years after the fact.

        Apple used to be okay. Thing is all the hipsters and climate awareness sheeple still fall for shiny Apple products with planned obsolescence awaiting them and fashion products that have a short life-span.

        It boggles my mind. "Look how shiny!" "Save the planet!"

        Yet another thing about Apple I didn't know: that they are supposed to score environment points?

        Plainly, though, there's a lot I don't know about Apple kit, because it doesn't interest me. How, for instance, does it score on repairability?

        He’s garnered quite a few votes of people that voted for his father, the fringes of society, and minorities/refugees that reap the benefits of the welfare/social assistance system. While Veterans that have served are left homeless and without support. He knows who to target for votes, that’s about all he’s good for.

        There's a reason I left Canada. I love Toronto, but in the job interviews there, I always got this sense of "oh, you little yellow person" while the elite ruled from their secret underground lair under the Toronto City Hall dome. Hard to explain, just a sense. I actually felt London was more of a meritocracy, like the US. Except with much less working and living space.

        For the guy thats aligned a few carts and understands VTA, I don't see how the SOL is much different than many other high end TTs, except the price. I seem to remember the Linn Sondek being one that was a pain to dial in correctly. But I haven't set up a TT since the mid 90s when I set up a SOTA for a buddy.
