Actually, this is true, but it's also only one of the recall items that GM has issued Recalls for this year.

"It recalled 8,208 of its 2014 cars on May 7, for example, because they might have rear brakes on the front wheels."

"GM says it has informed regulators about two more recalls imminent but not yet announced. The latest batch includes safety belt, air bag, transmission and electrical issues in a range of midsize sedans, full-size crossovers and SUVs, and pickups."

NOT Terrible and NOT Fail. And channel designations shouldn't be used to communicate your personal feelings about a video, or I'd suggest "Bravo", "Education", and "FTW", all equally inappropriate based on their channel descriptions. Maxxing out with bullshit channels just prevents proper channels from being assigned, like *philosophy, *nature, or, ironically, even your OWN channel, *learn.

Obviously, that's not how I meant it.

I apologize.

Daddy's coming home in a box either way.
That was pure garbage...Ignored.

Some insurance company is kicking itself over letting one future senator go uncovered during their child's birth. When they could have covered him and denied all of the non-senators and people with the power to hurt their profits.

This last year for me has been a terrible year dealing with Anthem, they decided the medications Im on for asthma are no longer "formulary".....even though the "formulary" they decided was the best option does absolutely nothing for me in the case of an attack perhaps even aggravates the condition. And then at the end of the year they jacked my rates up triple what it was the year before.

What they hold against you is so arbitrary it's impossible to know. Major surgeries? If it was back surgery not related to an underlying condition like my brother, doesn't affect rates. Have a mental breakdown? Not held against you, seek treatment...they just may decide not to pay for it. Asthma? Not supposed to be held against you, but they will question treatments related to it. Overweight? Yes, but they won't pay for any treatment related to it. Allergies? Yes, they screwed up payment for this I dunno how many times...go for months while the provider tries to get paid by the insurance company. Then you get the mega-bill 5 months down the road because Anthem sudden figures out their issues and pays 5 months worth at once.


Given how much of a change I've seen in insurance coverage in the last year, I have to wonder if the insurance companies aren't worried about the bill being passed and trying to nickel and dime as much as they can. Just like the credit companies were doing with outstanding credit debt, maxxing out rates or cutting off credit lines to people before the bill became active limiting their rates/abilities.

Was there a rally race going on that included publicly-available roads that were not blocked off? Is this some extremely amateur event or something?


It's not a publically availably road that isn't blocked off. The roads ARE blocked off. The people in the way are other drivers, who set off at timed intervals as stated above me by sir maxx of mad.

the simple explanation for the efficiency part of the argument, is that government jobs have salary caps that are very modest compared to any private sector jobs.

for example, my friend just got his first raise (1 year in) at his civilian research job with the coast guard in Washington DC, and we have inspected the salary chart thoroughly. at the highest level civilian position (GS-15) you make 120k in your first year, and with maxxed out seniority (i forget how many years, but >20) you can earn a maximum of 153k.

considering the recent outrage at greedy high level execs for banks, auto manufacturers, etc, this should be a good talking point for supporters of this medicare bill.

Also, I don't like this new video submission usablity. If my queue is maxxed out, I have to copy and paste my code FIRST and then find out I can't submit it yet.
