  1.  @frzstat  That's hilarious. I got my SIN card in 1969 and I never once thought of it that way. By the way, SIN is an acronym for Social Insurance Number, in case you were wondering.

  3.  Salvatore Eze  The longer we can put that recession off, the better it will be for all of us. If you invest wisely, be conservative with your spending, when the times are good, the better off you'll be when a recession does hit. Therefore, this wishing for a recession before the next election, just to get rid of Trump, is nuts. Only those, the elites, the ones with the money already in their pockets, will benefit from it. The rest of us will suffer. Peoples lives will be destroyed, savings will disappear, suicides will increase and homelessness will increase. This isn't something that a caring individual wishes for. This is something that a caring and responsible person wants to postpone as long as possible.

  4. That Pollock showed what he's like in the Fox and CNN interviews. He just shouted over everyone that was questioning his narrative. He's a lying POC and he knows it. He shouts to drown out anyone that might call him out for the liar he is.

  5. They just shot YOU.....the messenger. Instead of hearing the message, evaluating what your message said and then formulating a coherent conclusion on what to do about it, they shot the proverbial messenger. They're angry because they know that the message can only lead to one conclusion. DON'T VOTE DEMOCRAT THIS FALL. Better to shoot you than do that. I had the same experience having a few beers at my favourite bar the other night. I said something that made sense, about oil prices, and then had 2 guys yell at me for 15 minutes. I went to the bathroom and sat at the bar instead of returning to my table. The bartenders both laughed and said that it took me long enough to escape those clowns. All I could do was laugh with them and explain that I'm a pretty patient guy.

  6.  @drewpooters62  I live in a small town and I'm a retired bartender/bouncer. I built myself a reputation for being rather "insistent" about maintaining a certain level of behaviour. In other words, these guys knew me and weren't about to take a swing at me. Also both bartenders are close friends, one calls me Uncle Jack and I've travelled all over the Caribbean with the other one. That's why they were laughing about it. Things were rather stacked in my favour. All because I said that increased production would drive down prices and this was basic economics. Apparently, socialists don't believe that economics is a science.

  7.  @TacoPoweredTimeTraveler  So there IS a definition for "Independent party". Good. I'm glad we all agree. Also, when you have parties, especially 2 powerful ones like there is in the US, a third party would be independent of the 2 powerful ones. It's a logical descriptive of the party. A party that gone its own way.

  9.  @Frank71  Read the Georgia bill. This is where ALL the controversy is taking place. The baseball All-Star game is leaving Georgia because of this new bill and it's going to another state that has stricter voting laws than the ones that Georgia will use in the next election. Remember again, that they're calling Georgia's new voting laws oppressive.....NOT American voting laws. It has provisions in it that says that if a precinct, a voting region, has more then 1 hour wait times, they are to increase the number of voting booths or machines and increase polling workers. If the voter's list, in that precinct, goes over 2000 voters, voting precincts will be changed to bring that number back down to 2000 voters. There must be 1 voting booth or machine for every 250 voters plus one extra for the remainder. That means that if there are 1100 voters in that precinct, there will be 5 booths.....4 for the 1000 and another for the remaining 100, equaling 5 booths. There will also be 1 mail-in drop box for every precinct. There will be 17 early election days which will include Saturdays and Sundays and anyone can request a mail-in vote and will NOT required to give a reason for that request. Mail in drop boxes are a new thing in Georgia, only used last year because of the pandemic. Now it's coded into law. This cap on voters, per precinct, isn't based on how many actually vote but on how many eligible voters that there are in a precinct. The reason that you have IDs is so if you do share the same name as someone else, your ID number will identify you, NOT the name. That only makes sense. You're confusing the concept of American voting laws with state laws. Georgia is a state and each state decides its own voting procedures. The big reason that there's an outcry against the bill is that there are those that don't want ANY IDs required at ANY time during the voting process. They say it's racist. In Europe, according to you use your national ID card. That's an ID. In some countries, like Belgium, the law says that you MUST vote. Not so in the US and specifically Georgia. They want you to register, so they can determine your status and the precinct size and number of polling stations needed and then when you vote, they want to see that same ID to prove, just like your wife does with her national card, that you're the person that is registered to vote. I've read the bill....all 97 pages of it. The controversy is fabricated and there is no voter suppression intended in Georgia by the initiating this bill. It's pure politics. The controversy is voter ID. You just told me that they need it in Europe. Why is it so bad when Georgia requires you to show ID, then? I don't get it. Is it because "conservatives" are asking for it? That's seems like a very poor reason to me, especially since you seem to think that it's just fine in Europe.

  10.  @Frank71  So, the Republicans of Georgia, pass a bill, that requires ID to vote, in an effort to lesson the suspicions in a close race, and you object. You don't even have to get special ID. Your Social Security Card will do and all those who have ever worked have it. You need it to pay income tax and when you file your yearly taxes, you have to give that Social Security Number that is on your card. You have to file income taxes. It's the LAW. If you don't do it, you may face tax evasion charges and you have to have a Social Security Card and number to file your annual income taxes. If you've ever worked....YOU ALREADY HAVE ID. You have the ID that will allow you to vote. All you have to do is make sure that you're registered to vote. You can do that online or go to the local precinct and see if you're on the voter's list. If you don't have a Social Security Number, which means that you've never worked, you can use your driver's licence. Once again, you don't have to do anything. You've got the ID already. If you're on welfare, you had to show ID to get it. Same as food stamps so those people already have the ID. See how I'm narrowing down the numbers of people that are being inconvenienced. If you open a bank account, you need ID. If you want to buy smokes....ID. If you want to buy beer....ID. Buy a gun....ID for the background check. A credit card....ID to prevent identity theft and fraud. Almost everyone already has the ID that they need to vote. The very few that don't have any ID, will get it FREE in Georgia. Yet, the Democrats are still complaining. All you have to do is register. Once registered, unless you move, you can vote. If you're unsure of your voting status, you go online and see if you're registered. Almost everyone has a cell phone so it's easy. if you don't have a cell phone, get a friend to see for you. It's not that hard. You can register at any time. You don't have to wait for an election. Register today, RIGHT NOW, so you can vote in mid terms in November 2022. You've got lots of time Just take the ID, that you used to register, and take it to the polling station, when election day comes. It's NOT rocket science.

  11.  @Frank71  Obviously, you haven't read the bill. You're just going on about things that you've heard from the media and the Georgia opposition. It's being interpreted for you. Read the bill. Here it is. I've read the entire thing https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/04/01/us/politics/georgia-voting-law.html Now, tell me how this is somehow a horrible thing. Use the bill itself, not some media talking point. I've tried to explain it to you, using information that I've gotten from the bill. I don't know what else to do. You're making accusations that have nothing to do with these new election laws in Georgia.
    2
  12.  @Frank71  It won't affect your right to vote unless you live in Georgia. If you live somewhere else, it doesn't affect you. The only thing that might affect you is how you allow the media to interpret thing for you. I'd never allow that. I do understand that if you can't read English that well it could be a problem for you. Your writing is quite good and I never guessed that English was a second language. I understand now what you mean by not trusting that I'm telling you the truth. All I can say, in my defence, is that I did link you to the document itself, believing that you would be able to understand what it said. Why would I do that if I were trying to fool you. If I were lying, the last thing that I'd want is for you to see the evidence and be able to judge it for yourself. I made it easier for you to prove me a liar, if I was lying. I might be wrong on the details but I'm being as truthful as possible and the fact that I did lead you to the bill itself might prove that I'm not trying to hide things from you.

  13.  @Frank71  There are lots of people on welfare here, too. If you don't have the money, there's Medicaid, a government financed medical system. You can get food stamps, a way to get free food, financed by the government and subsidised housing. The problem is that there are lots of people who don't want to work. I've watched them come and go where I work and there's no reason why they can't hold the job but they're too lazy. I don't begrudge anyone, that's having some problems, some help, but to make a life long career out of collecting welfare, you're playing the ones that work hard, everyday, for suckers. It's theft and that's not humane at all. I'd gladly help anyone but there comes a time that they have to grow up and help themselves. We have too much of it here. I'm originally from the Netherlands and they have the same type of social system there as they do in Scandinavia. However, they work and they work hard. They don't ask for money to sit at home and do nothing. America has always been a country of people that are self reliant and we've become the richest country in the world by following a life of hard work and smart decisions. Now, our young don't want that anymore and it's killing our country.

  14.  @eddypdeb  And it's STILL and ID system. You just don't show up and say "I'm here to vote. Give me a ballot". You have a national ID card. I don't have one for your country. I can't show up on election day, in your town and vote. Why? I don't have a national ID card for YOUR country. Do you really want every foreign tourist, in your country, on voting day, to head down to the polls and to vote in YOUR elections? The American registration system might be different but all they're saying is show ID when you vote. They don't want every foreigner, who happens to be in the US, on voting day, to vote in their elections. The Georgia law, the voting laws for THAT state, requires that you show ID when you vote. So does your country. You just said as much. You have a National ID card. I don't. You can vote in your country and I can't. As for the purges, if you move to Canada and become a Canadian citizen, are you still allowed to vote in the country that you came from? I'm saying that you won't be. Maybe I'm wrong but I'll bet that you won't be. Also, the US sends a regional representative to the Congress. If you move from Georgia to Montana, you should vote for the representative from Montana NOT the one in Georgia, thousands of miles away. That's why they purge the voting records in Georgia. They don't want your name in Georgia and in Montana on their voting register. That's also why you need to show ID, so that someone can't show up and pretend to be someone that's on the register who happens to be living in Montana. The election system is completely different in the US because the US is organised differently than YOUR country. Each state has its own election laws because each state sends its own representatives to Congress. In a way it's like the EU, each country has its own representatives that is sent to Brussels. Would you want someone, living in a different country, voting in YOUR election? The US is the same. The people of Texas don't want the people of Michigan voting for their representatives. All the law in Georgia is asking for is to show ID. ID.....just like your national ID. If you lose your ID card, you get another one. If a person in Georgia doesn't have ID, he can get one, from the government of Georgia, FREE. How is that different than your country? I'm NOT getting it.

  15. Another attempt by elitists to "help" the "stupid and helpless" poor people. I would imagine that they love to sit around at the country club and tell each other how they don't tip because it's racist and sexist. From someone who's worked in the service industry for years, I heartily thank them for their caring and empathy but would you please just go f--k yourself. We really don't need champagne liberals telling us what is good for us.

  16.  @transistor3115  We like capitalism that operates withing the bounds of the law. We don't like the sale of slaves. That's capitalism, too. Isn't it ironic how that the Republicans, the protectors of capitalism, is the party that was formed, specifically, to end slavery. We believe in human rights and the Constitution and the rule of law. You're completely misunderstanding what "us guys" stand for.

  17. I've had two Covid vaccines. I'm as protected from Covid as I'm going to get. If my neighbour doesn't want to get vaccinated.....fine. I'm not afraid of him. I'm protected because I'm vaccinated. If I'm not protected, why did I get the jab?

  18.  @davidjames8031  I've read the new law and it goes a long way to cut down on wait times in a line to vote to no longer than an hour. 1 voting booth for every 250 registered voters in a precinct. If people wait in line for more than an hour, they will add another voting booth, in that precinct, until those line ups are no longer an issue. However, since voters can vote by mail or vote early, it is highly unlikely that 250 voters will show up on election day for every booth and overwhelm the system. Unlikely, as in, it won't happen.

  21.  @Tempelers  However, if you do GET Covid, you'd be in a better place to fight it if you're as healthy as possible. That would include having the levels of Vitamin D to help do the job. It's like going on a marathon run but never training for it. You might finish the run but you'll not be anywhere close to winning and you may just collapse due to over exhaustion. Not training and trying a marathon could even kill you. Vitamin D won't prevent Covid but it gives you the physical tools to help fight it off when infected. This is so simplistic, I'm amazed that it has to be explained to you.

  26. Simon Bouchard Then DON'T tip. You have that option. A "no tipping" law will force increased wages and force some establishments out of business and others to cut staff. Then you won't have that option and you'll pay the same for poor service as you would for good service. Then watch the quality of service go down, overall. Tipping is part of the overall expense of dining out and is a part of the expense that both you and the server have control over. You're taking away that control.

  27. 1barnet1 If there's no tipping there is no incentive for the server to do a good job. They have no vested interest in working harder. They'll get exactly the same as a poor server so why go the extra mile. What you'll get is an ownership who is now the only incentive to work hard and that never works out well. I'm a server and I'll will do anything within reason to do a good job because I like making ten to fifteen dollars over minimum wage. No one will benefit from a no tipping law. Not the servers, owners or the customer.

  28. Simon Bouchard It's still your option. If you don't want to tip....DON'T. I'm in the business and I'm off to work in 2 hours and I'm going to make tips. If this woman thinks that she's doing the servers a big favour by stopping tips, she's sorely mistaken. Ask any server if they want to give up tips and take a raise in pay, they'll tell you to go to the burning fire (I think you know where that is). I'm not being rude. I'm telling you how it is. It's not the servers that want to see an end to tipping. In the end, it's still up to you.

  29. 1barnet1 I'm in the business and I'm off to work in a couple of hours and I will guarantee you that there isn't one server I know that wants to see the end of tipping unless they're guaranteed, at least a 10 dollar an hour raise....or more. Serving staff are NOT the ones complaining of the tipping culture. Not at all.

  31. light473 It's funny how Canada rates higher than the US as a country to live in, although they're quite close. I prefer the health care here and I think Americans are next to insane when it comes to the gun culture and how it's being perverted in the big cities. I have nothing against hunting but hand gun open carry is just plain dumb and the death toll in the US proves it.

  41.  @snex000  He was established, in an immigration court, to be a member of MS-13. Then an appellate immigration court upheld that decision, naming him as a gang member, and ruled that he be deported. Garcia asked that he not be sent back to El Salvador because he would be in danger from rival gangs so the judge ruled that he not be sent there until conditions change. They have. Since then, gang activities have been slowed to ZERO. He could have been sent to any other country but what country would accept a KNOWN gang member. So he went nowhere....until the gang problem in El Salvador has been solved. Now, Garcia is being charged with drug and human trafficking and an involvement with the killing of a gang member's mother. He's still under an order of deportation from 2019. The US government allowed him to stay so he could commit those crimes and even beat his wife, which is a despicable crime....unless one is of a favoured demographic. He should have been sent home, El Salvador, the minute that the gang problem had been solved. You're defending an indefensible human being.

  49. American By Birth Patriot By Choice A living wage is enough for me to get food and shelter. Everything after that is a bonus. Most restaurants or bars pay a minimal wage. It's a tough wage for the average person to live on and it's tough for the owner to pay more. Not always. Some places do really well and the owner gets rich and good on them. However, people think that the serving business is easy. Although there is a minimum training involved, there is a great deal of skill and anyone that's worked in the business can spot the good from the bad almost right away. It takes a certain personality type to do the job effectively. Right now, where I work, they need a new bartender. You'd think that would be easy but, in spite of all the resumes, no one is working out. In fact, most serving staff in our town have run the gamut of taverns in town. That's because it's not as simple as it sounds. That's where the tips makes things better for both the owner and the server. The owner can run a viable business, even though it is small and the employee, the really good one, is rewarded to the point that the owner will retain the services of the best available. What's more, the customer doesn't have to tip. It's an option. If you can't afford to throw down 2 bucks over a 15 dollar meal, you shouldn't have gone out to eat in the first place because you can't afford it. Having said that the motto for the server is this. "Gratuities not expected but always appreciated." It keeps businesses open and provides options for the customer. It works for everyone. Like I said. If you don't wan to tip......don't. Basically, any business that adds tips to the bill is being lazy and doesn't want to deal with the idea that some servers are better than others. The loss of meritocracy in the workplace and the lazy server gets the same as the hard worker.
