The only two options in this reality are being stone cold sober at all times so you can be ready to bug out when the nukes fly or to be dead drunk at all times because nothing matters when the nukes fly.

There is no in between.

I sat down today and watched the debate on youtube. I am biased as I live in a country that has universal healthcare.

Overall, I think that Sanders did a better job. I didn't like the way the hair salon question played out though.

Do you think that Sanders could do better in that particular question? In what way?

I think he could have done a better job there if he'd steered the conversation towards single payer and making it so healthcare isn't tied to employment. That would ensure everyone is covered and level the playing field for employers.

I liked how Sanders pointedly asked her what happens if any of her employees get sick, and her response was literally "I dunno."

That part was good and personally I would have loved to see him just eviscerate her for that, but that wouldn't have been a good thing to do in that setting. Which is why I think it would have been more effective to use it as a chance to talk about single payer and still call her out by bringing up that some companies get a competitive advantage by forcing their employees to work without benefits that should be standard.

hey yall remember laronda

What has owning a Fantastic Sams franchise enabled you to do that you wouldn’t have been able to do working for someone else? The flexibility is great. It’s so much better than it was during 30 years of corporate and government work. There are many days when I work at my computer in my pajamas at home. I’m in charge of my own schedule and can design it around anything my son has going on. I was in a position this past year to purchase a lake home. That’s something I’ve wanted forever. I was finally able to afford to do it, and it’s because of my Fantastic Sams businesses. Fantastic Sams has given me the lifestyle I really wanted. I paid my dues for many years working for someone else. I feel very fortunate to be a Fantastic Sams franchisee. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. I feel like I’ve lived the American Dream — no doubt about it.

Those margins though, they're so tight!
