@sarobertson_ But if you are older and break a hip….that would be an emergency in the US. In Canada you could be weeks until surgery. Then they’d have to re break the hip to repair it. Same for heart surgery….they hope you die while waiting.
Kelly: My husband, we were in Canada. He got sick. He was in the emergency room three days. His bill was $800 for three days. We could not do that in the USA, being in the emergency room three days and only $800.
Jennings: I think describing the Canadian system where people wait weeks and weeks or months and months and months for very basic health care procedures, you do not want that here. I promise you.
@FreddyLA7 Not sure which way you are driving but if you get a chance to stop at a Lambert’s Cafe. There are 3 of them, 2 is MO and 1 in southern AL. Worth a trip
Good morning America 🇺🇸
Today marks the start of our final week here. It’s hard to believe we’re leaving soon. After being here for so long, it doesn’t even feel like a vacation anymore. It feels like we’re living here. Now it’s time to make the most of our final days!
Game 3 @inscriptagraphs giveaway!
Today's item is a Brett Howden signed puck. To win, guess how many Expected Goals (per Natural StatTrick) VGK will register with Howden on the ice in an situations. Use two decimals (Ex 1.21 or 0.58).
Closest without going over wins. GL!
@izzyayfr@EricSpracklen Had a USPS truck do this to use in AZ. Took 10 miles to pass another truck while going up and down hills. He stayed with the other truck and had a huge backup behind both of them.
@VitalVegas How generous of these greedy monopolies all of a sudden! Long overdue price corrections. Vegas was getting out of control price wise on my last visit... which is why I haven't (yet) been back.
@BradArnoldWX Maybe treat the major flash flood warning just like a PDS or Emergency tornado warning. But, it still is incumbent on the public to react, or even to pay attention. There are so many tornado watches/warnings that people just don’t listen.
Just out of curiosity, if your area is put under a flash flood warning, do you take it seriously and change how you would go about your normal day? I’ll be honest, if I see a flash flood warning for my area, I don’t really think twice about it. In fact, on all my radar apps I have FFW disabled so it doesn’t clutter my radar.
I fully believe this is a messaging issue. A county road with 1 inch of water on it is not the same as a 30 foot wall of water rushing down a normally dry creek, yet both get the same warning.
I’m not sure how to fix this, but wanted to open this up to have dialogue on what can be done to improve this. I am truly interested in hearing what the general public has to say.
***If you make some political post, or conspiracy post you’ll be blocked immediately. I don’t have time for people that don’t have a working brain cell in their head.
@SinBinVegas@davidcw51@jprutherford Not everyone signed to Vegas does better with a change of scenery….Thomas Tartar comes to mind. But if he wants to get his game back and is willing to work hard, he’s worth a try.
@davidcw51@jprutherford I wouldn't say he didn't fit with STL. He was very good there for a while. His game has seemed to fall off. We will see if he can recapture it.
@kristenmag I got a text last night from my Dad saying that he hopes I'm happy that I voted to take away his social security and healthcare. I told him he was falling for propaganda. It's really sad that people have more faith in the media than their own family.
@WallStreetApes@elonmusk So my dem sister texted me to say we need to plan ahead and not retire now. Gonna have to work because the republicans are gonna decrease Medicare coverage, up taxes to cover Medicare, and Social Security will be fully overhauled and we’ll get less money.
@VitalVegas@itmightbemark Don’t use tik tok or instagram….can’t watch it but I just got back from Vegas and know that going to Vegas is a losing proposition. I’m not interested in going back—not fun.
Here, amongst the descendants of the Scotch and the Irish, who settled these lands that reminded them of their own, the rugged individualists who helped shape this country and who still take care of their own. It's our story, but it affects not only us. It affects all of us.
What you should all be asking yourselves is why state and federal government assistance was not here, in these small towns immediately following this disaster.
The carnage, destruction, and looting in places like Asheville make for good news stories. But, the real story is here.
Down the mountain and in the county next door, in the town of Marion, is the Baxter plant. Baxter is responsible for 80 percent of the IV bags used in every hospital across the country.
That quartz becomes the silica that we refine to 99.999999 percent purity. This is what I do when I go to work every day. That refined silica goes into the chips in your cell phones, TVs, solar panels, and a long list of etcetera.
