Was a first world country until the blacks decided to start killing all the white people and they fled.
The end of apartheid was the end of south africa as a first world nation, like it or not
I read somewhere recently that by the middle of this year 100,000,000 “Americans” will be on Medicare.
They’re called Baby Boomers.
Not all. There’s a stinking Mexican comes in to where I work, doesn’t speak a word of English but somehow he’s on Medicaid.
That’s bad, but the word was Medicare, generally covering two classes of people. Those who have reached at minimum age 62 and those who of course had monies deducted from pay but have been forced from the workplace by means of disability. I have been in both categories.
Medicare is for people 65 and older unless disabled. I wish it was 62 so I dont have to pay friggin O’Dumbo-care premiums.
Without disclosing tooooo much. I was a tractor-trailer driver, you’ll find that elsewhere here on the site; in the very last days of 2016, I suffered a hemorrhagic stroke, as a result, I was forced to quit my job (very well paying) and retire or go back to the start at this company (no way), so I retired on disability. First, you are on Medicare due to disability, but transition to regular Social Security along with Medicare. And I think an investigation on your part will reveal you can indeed retire at 62 with a much lesser payment each month than say late 60s to 72. But you automatically qualify for Medicare either way. The crappy part for me is I had excellent health insurance. I was booted off it, but my wife is still covered by it. I’m the one who held the job for 23 years, but I’m off my insurance, she’s on it.
See above – my mistake, MEDICAID
See above you, recognizing your error, but correcting, needed or not, the reply to you.
WE ALL PAY FOR MEDICARE MY FRIEND THERE IS MEDICARE PART A AND B A IS FOR HOSPITAL STAY B WHICH YOU PAY FOR OUT OF YOUR SSN ACCOUNT AFTER YOU RETIRE HELPS WITH THE REST. OF COURSE THAT’S AN ENTITLMENT ACCORDING TO YOUR PEOPLE JUST LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY. OF COURSE NONE OF YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT THE ORIGINAL SSN DESIGNATION WAS DO YOU, IT WAS NAME “OASDI” (Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance) AND IT WAS SET UP FOR EVERYONE THAT WORKED AND FOR THOSE THAT WERE DISABLED. IT’S A TRUST FUND THAT AT ONE TIME HAD ALMOST 5 TRILLION DOLLARS IN THE KITTY, UNTIL SENATOR AL GORE AND SENATOR TED KENNEDY GOT THEIR GREEDY RAT PAWS INTO IT. NOW IT’S GOING BROKE BECAUSE DEMOCRATS DECIDED TO RAID IT WAY BACK WHEN. TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR PAY STUB OR YOUR W-2 NEXT TIME. YOU’LL SEE YOU PAY YOUR INSURANCE PREMIUM EVERY PAYCHECK FOR YOUR OLD AGE INSURANCE. ENTITLEMENTS ARE CRAP THAT ARE GIVEN AWAY FOR NOTHING LIKE ALL THE PORK THAT GOES INTO DEMOCRAT BILLS IN DC.
Two things, and I admit, I haven’t researched it. It’s been broke for a long time as you said it was robbed by politicians. On the other hand, to my understanding, they absolutely have to pay out on it, so that’s probably one of the reasons for infinite debt ceiling increases. That and money laundering of course. It’s like any pyramid scheme. If someone wants to cash out, they use money from a new ‘mark’, kind of like robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Sorry, my mistake. I meant to type MEDICAID (so straight up welfare medicine). Gotta stop clicking on the words the app suggests.
Receiving stolen goods isn’t as grievous a crime as stealing those goods in the first place.
I wouldn’t know anything about Medicaid, because I’m not an outright grifter. Although in my hardwired thinking, I’m a reluctant drainer on taxpayers, of which I too am one, I never bilked the system so I could smoke crack and create new baby mamas.
No, not funded by the “other half”. They wish that was true. 29 million South Africans receive grants – with only 7.5 million taxpayers. But …. 7.5 million registered taxpayers, only 3m or so submit tax returns …
The simple fact is that you cannot maintain a nation with 20th Century technology (that is NOT a typo) with a population whose average IQ is somewhere around 77.
Doesn’t matter what training you give, how many years of school are available, what church (or voodoo doctor) they go to, or how hard they try. A population of 77IQ does not have a high enough fraction of really BRIGHT people to keep things running. Sorry… but that is the fact. The only way for a Black ruled South Africa to be successful by any modern standard is to increase the average IQ. That is the bottom line, and it is damned unlikely to happen.
You mean Atlanta? Baltimore?
The problem is that the White fellow is quick to jump on the so called inferior fellow, however it boggles the mind that the same parasite that has eaten away at the heart of western society is in control of Africa but you can’t see it. Alas, blame them. America was infiltrated and taken over, however Africa especially South Africa was controlled right from the start, everything is is going according to script. As much as you want to blame Blacks, they’ve never controlled the economy. As an American I hope you appreciate the concept of a puppet, while the master pulls the strings.I do not care what man sits upon the throne…, as long as I ….
That is some kind of ugly. Mask up! Mask up! I totally support masks for fuglies.
NNNOOOOOOO..
These are SSSOOOO hot, be still my heart.
Especially the last one, rrraarrrrrr
I Dressed up like a girl once for Halloween, more it was to appease my sister, so full make-up, dress etc. Worst idea ever. Do you know how hard it is to Trick for Treats wearing high heels?
Yes, I actually do!
You are a BRAVE, BRAVE man to admit that HERE! Now, I’m gonna have to think of ways to give you shit about your girly dayz…
My girl dressed me as a chick for halloween once. She did such a good job, i said fuck that and changed into a clown outfit.
Hey, you could always work the parking lot at 7-11.
I mean, 20 bucks is 20 bucks, right?
Ugh! “It” needs not pass GO. “It” needs to go directly to the loonie asylum.
There are far more women who could pass for men than the opposite. But maybe that’s more about what men have become.
I saw a pic of ellen ‘elliot’ page yesterday. From decent looking chic to fucked up dude.
Personally I don’t watch this trash. If I ever did feel an inkling to, I’d download it for free and certainly will NEVER pay for this shit. So they can woke it, switch the genders, color, or whatever they want, let the zombies feed and pay for it, go woke go broke
Eye bleach please.
I highly doubt that in my case. I may have been the impetus for some of them to convert. 😂
Good news for canukistaners everywhere. The govt is ramping up the suicide machinery so soon enough you can be fast tracked into the program and not suffer the sadness of getting your name spelled wrong on that soi latte cup.
Just think, 10,000 took advantage of this wonderful service. So why not you, no age restrictions apply. One of our caring medical professionals who find their work very satisfying, will help you and give you that happy smiling send-off. You can also choose the Pop’n Drop method too and keep the ending a surprise. Lets put the fun back into dying and not be SADs.

Southwest Airlines pilots to disastrous bosses: It’s your education, stupid
While you were celebrating the coming of a New Year — or perhaps while you were still stuck at an airport waiting for a Southwest Airlines plane to take you home — the airline’s pilots were writing a scorching, scorning letter to their management.
This wasn’t a private letter. They wanted every single customer to know what they felt were the real reasons for Southwest’s startling meltdown over the Christmas period.
Penned by the pilot’s union’s second vice president, Captain Tom Nekouei, the letter specifically derided management and, in particular, former CEO and current chairman Gary Kelly…
But wait, here’s where the pilots see the fundamental problem, and it may be a lesson for so many companies who hire according to very narrow parameters.
Said Nekouei: “With the above changes instituted by Gary Kelly came the proliferation of single-points-of-failure within our Company’s individual stovepipes, and at the top of that operational stovepipe as Chief Operations Officer, Gary Kelly installed another accountant and friend, Mike Van de Ven. And just like that, we were suddenly an operational flying and customer service company with the top three positions occupied by three holders of bachelor’s degrees in accounting from the University of Texas.”
How many times, over the last few years, have you heard companies being described as “run by accountants”? How many times have you worked for such companies? And how many times have you considered those to be extremely well-run companies?
Oh, accountants might know how to satisfy Wall Street every three months, but do they really know how to run a business with a longer-term perspective?
I only ask because the pilots don’t think so. Nekouei describes this accountant-centric mindset as “a recipe for operational ignorance and collective groupthink. A monetization of the once vaunted Southwest culture and instead turning it into a headquarters-centric cult. A good old boys and girls network indeed.”

Biden Admin Considers Banning Gas Stoves over Health Concerns – Used in about 40% of homes in the U.S.
A federal agency may look to ban gas stoves over concern about the release of pollutants that can cause health and respiratory problems, according to a new report.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is set to open public comment on the dangers of gas stoves sometime this winter. The commission could set standards on emissions from the gas stoves, or even look to ban the manufacture or import of the appliances, commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. told Bloomberg News.
“This is a hidden hazard,” Trumka told the outlet. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.”
Senator Cory Booker (D., N.J.) and Representative Don Beyer (D., Va.) wrote a letter to the agency last month urging the commission to address the issue and calling the harmful emissions a “cumulative burden” on black, Latino and low-income households.
I just sent a similar article in the National Review to Admin. I think it deserves discussion. Total BS. Next they will ban gas heat. Then they will say everyone who has gas stoves and gas heat and water heaters have to replace them with electric.
They already tried to legislate it out of existence in Ontario, Canada, a few administrations back (the one with the dyke premier). Heard nothing more about it, so I assume it was riddled with bullet holes when they ran it up the flagpole . No fossil fuel heating in new houses was the idea presented.
D.
I have a doorbell and do not respond to knocks on the door. My dogs do, while I reach for something heavy that dings lead projectiles rapidly.
I never answer the door.
I have no dogs.
Views through the windows look like the house is under construction (it is).
Steel roods run through the doors into the framing to prevent breach.
It’s amazing how long they knock (the doorbell does nothing).
But everybody finally goes away.
If they are knocking on my front door, it’s nobody I want to talk to.
