    Light beer tastes like armadillo piss. Mass produced beer from the big brands tastes like armadillo piss.

    What's confusing about that?

    Well, first you have to do a taste comparison then report back. I personally thought the armadillo piss had more hops.

    I just politely ask him to pee in the cup. Armadillos are super cooperative.

    KP, in CO goes back Monday. Washington then strikes Monday. All states (I believe) begin 11/1 back to the strike if an agreement is not met.

    We don't have armadillos around here. Put one in a box and mail it to me. It can hang out in the back yard with the retarded desert tortoise we have.

    I'm kind of attached to them. I need to know they're going to a good home and not just being used to train pit bulls.

    I’d have compassion for the uaw but when I see that Uaw leader Fain on tv. I think otherwise. Zero respect for that guy.

    It's only me on my health insurance. The insurance company is covering the cost of the pills. I paid nothing other than my weekly premium which is $60. Actually closer to $64. I think there's some confusion here. Ha!

    Coors Batch 19 is actually pretty damn good and only sold here in CO. Coors also does "Native" batch beer made with 100% CO ingredients. Only brewed and sold here. Non- union. Employs thousands. We have a contract to calibrate process control equipment in a big ass building where Coors makes their own bottles from molten glass. :burp:

    I found kangaroo piss to be more hoppy.

    You're Canadian. I'd believe you if you said beaver piss. I know you haven't tried armadillo piss.

    I'm thinking the health workers will win, hopefully with what at least they are asking for. Most folks I know sympathize with them. Not so much with the UAW. The UAW is partially responsible for the mess they are in. There are several non-union auto plants here doing quite well without all the union drama. Yota, Nissan among others. Prolly best to support people that will really support you and not just give pro union lip service every few years.

    Complicated issue there. If it were a solo doc charging what they do, sure it's more than enough money. Trouble is that a solo medical provider can't usually cover the facilities cost, equipment cost, and insurance cost. This forces them into working for larger organizations that set the prices to benefit the overall business and any board members/share holders. It's such a big tangled web I don't think there's a single panacea solution to fix it.

    Some things I would suggest for here in the US would be disallowing pharmaceutical companies from advertising and same for lawyers. The US is one of only a handful of nations that allows pill pushers to advertise, and there's no health benefit to it. We also didn't used to allow lawyers to advertise and had far fewer ridiculous lawsuits for petty BS. Both have driven the cost up for healthcare in different ways.
