Wrong question. It's polarizing and doesn't solve anything. My POV is that society as a whole (as well as each individual) benefits from good health therefore we all share a responsibility to facilitate it.

@digital producer 1- if trumpcare goes through it wont matter, healthcare laws will default to state law. Each state chooses what matters. Live in a conservate state that doesnt want to fund pre-existing? Oh well. You're out. This is why the smugness of the republicans is so outrageous. EVERYONE will be affected even if you dont have trumpcare. Gotta read the fine print. Regardless of your politics, people matter and healthcare matters. We all do better when our neighbors are healthy too. Its the fabric of society. Or the next hungry games.

I guess why even question if healthcare is a right? That's not even a question. The question is what's the right way to ensure that everyone has access to healthcare, not just the privileged.

I never thought "right" is the right word to use. It's a service. Rights are things that don't have to be given by someone else. They are inalienable. Medical care is something that is provided from one person to another.

I would say health is a right. We have the right to be healthy. The system in place that we go through to achieve or maintain health should not be an unnecessary burden on our lives. Whether that burden be administrative, financial, or corporate in nature, it is all wrong and desperately needs to be reworked. Not that that is ever going to actually happen.

I just received this email by a recruiter:

"One thing I want to run by you again is the salary range. I asked you about it when we spoke and you mentioned a range. I would say that we would be able to offer a salary more in the lower part of that range, so I just want to make sure it is still relevant for you? We think l that you would have exciting development possibilities with us"

the lower part of that range, is acceptable, but low for market in the area. Should i ask about benefits?

I am lateraling. My start date is Sept. 7. I was planning on giving my current firm notice on Aug. 2 so my last day would be Aug. 13 and I would have a few weeks off before starting the new gig. Was just perusing the employee handbook of my current firm and found that the separation policy requires at least 4 weeks’ notice. I’ve never heard of this before, and I’m at a loss as to what I should do. I don’t want to lose the time off but don’t want to lose benefits for Aug. either.

I ordered a Tesla model 3 SR in April and I am able to take delivery this weekend, however I’m now unsure of whether it’s the right move financially. I have a lease on a 2020 BMW X3 that will end next month and was wondering if I should just buy that out and drive it for a few years. If it makes a difference I’m in SoCal so gas is $$$, but no EV charging in my apartment.

Tesla: $830/month + charging and insurance
BMW: $600/m + $150 gas + maint/insurance

Any thoughts? Is the Tesla worth it?
