@arteteco @Trillenial Amazon one button sales have gone too far!

I like my women like I like my coffee.

Mail ordered from Indonesia.

@arteteco @Trillenial I was hoping it would ping an intern to bring me coffee.

Four animal themed memes for your perusal.

@LWFlouisa It's not just dry, it's like a weed who's roots spread out forever.

The PDF itself is 28 pages long. Which isn't terrible for a legal/business document. HOWEVER, there are additional codes, addendums, and laws that I have to read about (luckily they're mostly linked in the {PDF) that have added at least a dozen pages to my reading list so far.

I'mma get a coffee. X_x

So, I'm part way into this 'Annual Representations and Certifications' PDF that will allow our company to do business with the US Government.

And now I'm pretty sure I know why the Boston Tea Party happened. I want to throw this PDF into the goddamn ocean.

@LWFlouisa @freemo I used to be a corrections officer in the US, and specifically in South Carolina. It was a very interesting job.

The focus is most certainly not on rehabilitation, and it hasn't been for a very long time. A *very* long time. Most of the inmates I met in prison certainly belonged there, some were edge cases.

The old hippie who got caught selling LSD at a Grateful Dead Concert in the 80s certainly didn't deserve 30 years in prison, but that is what he got.

I could go into it at length, but it would take time. My time as a CO changed me, even if it wasn't for very long.

@RolandDeschaine Yeah, that makes sense!

@LWFlouisa @freemo I enjoy conversations with a hint of debate. :) It is a good way to get to know people.

@freemo Yes, though. We do mostly agree. :)

@freemo Don't be Anti-Semantic. ;p

@freemo Indeed it is, but there are heavy enough socialist notes in this particular form of health care that I'm not sure you could safely call it "Capitalism".

Most of the money these companies in Israel make comes from the Government specifically, paid for by taxes from individuals and businesses.

@freemo To a certain point, sure. But what they can do and can't do is heavily regulated. Israeli's healthcare system is partially privatized and not 100% socialist. So the healthcare providers do, undoubtedly, make some profit but not as much as compared to any US Health Insurance Company (And I do mean per capita)

@freemo Naw, no healthcare is a bitch. I mean, my glasses are subsidized by the government of my country. Because I need them. To see and function.

@jwild except for that whole hurricane thing....

@absolutus @freemo smells a little too much like character assassination to me.

@skulljudenfreund Seriously though, people love Trump over here. I'm not sure I agree with all the ways things are moving forward, but coddling the PA certainly hasn't helped in the last 10 years... so, maybe a Trump-Style boot to the booty will help move things forward.

@skulljudenfreund this is insulting to the venus fly trap. :(

@RolandDeschaine yeah, dude. Beef and barley soup is fantastic.
