I hope this is some allegorical device.

Not Highlander (which is amazing btw) but this wall of death story. I'm going to let this one go, seems like a bad acid trip.

Umm what? Is this some 70s reference I'm too young for?

Every single one of us can empathize with watching loved ones age and pass and facing our own mortality. As of now, I wouldn't want to prolong life, but I'm sure that perspective may change if I have children/grandchildren. It's interesting to think about. My problem is the obvious issues with execution if technology really does afford us this one day. If the rich/poor dynamic wasn't contentious enough politically, this would take it to new extremes. Scarcity of resources would be huge of course. This is a bit too individualistic for me. For every wise elderly person I meet, I meet several who are products of questionable ideologies reinforced for decades. Give those people another thirty years while also legislating how many children we can have (this would definitely need to happen, no?) and we may get stuck with a lack of youthful innovation. I'm skeptical that we would be better off as a whole. We've all been in the place of wishing we had just a little longer with someone. On an individual scale it's sad, but in broad strokes it's necessary.

You know Terry Pegula's sports passion is the Sabres right? He would not be able to move the Bills and still own the Sabres. Quite the hot take you have here.

My last name is very similar and I find this story hilarious.

I haven't enjoyed a press conference so much since the infamous Whaley press conference.

It's being reported Ryan pulled it and Trump supported the decision. Pulling it was the right thing to do, I was hoping they voted.

WH holding press briefing. CNN reporting the votes aren't there. Trying to listen at work.

Keep trying to paint my argument in a leftist color, it's not and I've explained it several times. The FC are just progressives turned on their heads. Fierce individualists and idealouges, a.k.a people unbearable to work with. The snowflakes got their way and EHB's are up for repeal, but we'll see what the moderates do.

I never said that. I'm all about compromise. The far right is as terrible as the far left. Both groups need to reflect on their extreme positions and realize logically they would need to give up the most ground. I was originally responding to a person who wants everyone to acknowledge taxation as an evil. Some real old testament ****. Obviously that person's minority position would stand to give up the most ground.

You still aren't getting it are you?

This feels a little uninspired.

Did you miss the "relatively small" part? I would like you to repond in article format.

Pandering to one, relatively small, group of people makes a lot of sense. Yup.

At that point "General Manager" is an empty title.

Continuous power struggles.

I find this whole situation extremely amusing.

Can't argue with that, but the republican base is a confusing mine field to navigate.

Christianity, when approached as a moral philosophy, is probably better than anything. There's a lot who distort it, but you can say that about anything.

Then they would be falling into familiar traps.

The republicans do not have a supermajority in the Senate.

No, but they did force feed the ACA and are now screaming "slow down"? Come on. You are talking to a fierce liberal, but we are in a climate where compromise is absolutely necessary on healthcare. I'm really sick of everyone at this point. The wall is the stupidest thing I've ever heard and I'm still in denial it's even an issue so I will give you that.

Stop acting with outrage over things they also did during the past administration. Be willing to work with the GOP on a bill instead of sandbagging everything. Pretty much take the high road instead of stooping to the level of the opposition.

Ya, that was my point. I'm 28 and healthy. If you remove the mandate, a lot like me will not purchase insurance and cease driving costs down for the elderly. Most would argue for these options anyway though. Trump seems to understand the situation they are in, but I argue his fallback of letting the ACA implode to reflect poorly against Dems isn't the failsafe he argues. The uninformed voter will just apply the conditions to the current administration, plus the foaming mouth repeal Obamacare crowd will be naturally disgruntled. The Dems are being childish though and it appears they'd rather play a political game then to compromise and help more people.
