  1. Are you talking about 2020, or 2016? I can't keep up with the constantly shifting liberal narrative...

    Latest Movies

    Not that I go by ratings, but IMDB only gives it 3/10 stars out of 138 reviews... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7622584/ Amazon reviews are 3.5 out of 5, with 130 reviews. https://www.amazon.com/We-Go-Dawn-Samantha-Coughlan/dp/B086H76VXT From the trailer it looks interesting, I have put it on my watch list!
  3. ADMIN NOTE: Too late, you now require approval before any of your posts will show. Don't bother messaging me about it, you were very close to being banned; so even if you don't agree with it, I am doing you a favor. I did you a second favor by deleting several of your recent offending posts. Anyone else?

  7. My father got a vote-by-mail letter in Florida. Problem is, he passed away over 14 years ago... Don't tell me there's nothing wrong with the system!
  8. ADMIN NOTE: Play nice, guys.
  9. Yes, "equality" is not giving any person an advantage over another. It's about equal opportunities, not equal results. Harry Callahan said it best...
  10. To be fair, no one could predict the level of shenanigans surrounding this "election"...
  11. It's always the bat shit crazy ones... But how in the hell did anyone think she would be a good U.S. Representative?!? And why in the hell would anyone vote for her again? Our political system is fucked.

    USAA

    USAA isn't that bad, they're just not as good as they used to be... Two weeks ago I was sideswiped by a semi going through an intersection onto Kelly Field. I wasn't hurt, but my Toyota was banged up pretty bad (was eventually totaled). I filed a claim online when I got home and a USAA rep called me soon after. Eventually I ended up working directly with Progressive (the truck driver's insurance) to handle the claim, but USAA had my back if I needed help. By the way, Progressive was very good about handling my claim as well. Once I sent them the dash cam footage of the incident, they got to work getting my car appraised and getting me a rental car. I was lucky in that I quickly found a replacement (a 2013 VW Jetta SportWagen TDI) in Austin and picked it up last Sunday. The Progressive rep also instructed me to scan my signed title in and email it to her so she could start working the reimbursement instead of waiting for it to arrive via FedEx in a day or two. On a downside, I had driven to Austin on Friday to look at the Jetta and on my way back stopped at USAA to get a certified check for the purchase, only to find their bank lobby still closed due to COVID despite restrictions being eased up and many other banks being open. I ended up having to do a wire transfer, which only happens on business days which could have delayed my getting my new-to-me car had not the seller been willing to work out a means to allow me to get it last weekend. Overall, USAA isn't the company they once were, and I am not happy with their selling of their investment program to Charles Schwab (which I am ready to move away from); but living in SA they are still the most convenient insurance/bank around. I have yet to find anyone significantly better...
  16. Sorry, increased government involvement is not the answer either. Implement your suggestions ("Get rid of the admins, make it criminal to price gouge on materials, encourage the production of generic drugs, and provide incentive to non profit insurance companies") then sit back and watch our health system crumble. It's an industry, and one that requires money to flourish. In my six decades on this planet I have seen great medical advances that have extended and better the lives of many people. In the 1970s, cancer was pretty much a death sentence; now the majority of people survive it. The progress took a lot of money, but it also saved a lot of lives. I have seen socialized societies work. Germany is a great example. The roads are perfect, the air clean, and the quality of life is high (I would say higher than this country). All it cost the Germans was a large percentage of their income and many rights and liberties. If you want to pay up to 45% in income tax, you too could enjoy the benefits of the government spending your money as it wishes. But that is not how this country was founded. It was built on the inalienable rights of the individual. Our government, especially at the Federal level, needs to be less involved in our lives, not more. If Biden wins the presidency, that will not be the trend...
