Can they get on your health insurance too, or would that require you to take a second job?

This is as bad as the anti-ACA folks who bash it by claiming that premiums are skyrocketing, when the fact of the matter is that premiums have been increasing for many years and the ACA has slowed that overall increase dramatically. Yes, roughly 30% of millenials live with their folks, BUT the major reason is not linked to financial success. The number one contributing factor is the trend of waiting until an older age to get married. In fact, if you look at a chart comparing median age of marriage to this age range living with parents, you would see that they move in inverse directions.

With that said, employment does play a role, but much of that is tied to the great recession. It wasn’t all that long ago that our economy teetered on a cliff, following a massive financial bubble. This caused a large spike in young adults seeking advanced education. Couple this with a constantly increasing wage vs cost of living gap, and it’s no wonder more these kids are choosing to live at home. Bottom line is that the world isn’t black and white, and trying to boil down a complex issue to one vague statistic is asinine.

Oh, for fucks sake. You know exactly what you were doing, and we’re not dense enough to believe otherwise, but I’ll connect the dots for folks who may not care to pay as much attention. You’re a self-professed staunch conservative, and Utah often takes opposing positions in political debates. He bashes Breitbart, and you reply with a meme featuring an MSNBC host. MSNBC is widely perceived as left leaning, while Breitbart is insanely right. Even though Utah never mentioned any other news source, you drew a straw man by throwing Williams into the mix. Transparent as hell, and poorly executed, as there was no other reason or stimulus to post it.

Hillary is corrupt, no doubt. She’s also seasoned, intelligent, and most importantly, sane. Trump is corrupt, as well. He’s also nuts, monumentally ignorant, and quite possibly a traitor. But hey, he’ll save you some duckets on your tax returns each year, so what the hell.

[AZswayze]

No, I’m accusing you of being intellectually dishonest, because your meme was clearly intended to point out some level of hypocrisy. Sac up and own it.

[AZswayze]

It’s hard to tell who’s more intellectually dishonest, you or troutute. Your response was clearly inferring that Utah listens to fake news while deriding fake news. For as much shit as y’all give liberals here you’d think you would at least practice some  decorum in discourse.

Again, trying to divert by saying my post was angry. I presented an argument, and you shifted, again.

If you’re part of the 1% and your only motivation in life is money, which is how it appears, then I see why you’re happy with Trump. Outside of that he is an unmitigated disaster. Then, what are we to expect from somebody whose advice on democracy is to “vote with your wallet”. You helped put a mentally ill, woefully ignorant narcissist in the White House, because you knew he’d add value to your portfolio. That is reprehensible.

You have claimed that poor children should have had better parents, and have flat out lied to degrade huge populations of people. You have zero empathy for others, and your entire self-worth revolves around the accumulation of paper. It’s actually very sad. See, that’s what we call empathy.

I’m a liberal? Why, because I think you’re full of shit? We went through this a while back, but it’s funny to me how y’all label me a liberal in a weak attempt to devalue my claims. You constantly label others to try to divert from the fact that you are unable to support your positions.

As to me actually being a liberal, that’s laughable as well. Most of the issues that I’m “liberal” on are not anti-conservative. My stances are largely conservative at their root, and were only hijacked by the GOP when the religious right came to power. Biggest example: being pro-choice was once a conservative value, and the original pro-life activists were largely liberal Catholic priests. I’m fiscally conservative, but not libertarian. Really, the only issue that I firmly believe in that is at odds with true conservatism is socialized health care. You falsely believe that this modern conservative movement has the slightest interest in personal freedoms or fiscal responsibility, and berate anybody who questions GOP motives.

This modern social conservatism is nothing more than theocracy masquerading as conservatism. It’s the antithesis of what America stands for, and supporting it is the furthest thing from patriotism that I can imagine, short of outright treason.

I’ll take this at face value, although I could have sworn you said you were working just for health insurance, but I could be wrong. It’s still tough to take you seriously when you make so many outrageous claims. You have said that you witnessed tons of illegals being given free fertility treatments, and when I asked for evidence you presented an article on Nadya Suleman, who isn’t an illegal alien. I looked for any proof to support your claim, and it turns out that even the ACA has specific prohibitions against this.

You also claimed to have been hit by seven uninsured illegal aliens. I have lived in the southwest my entire life, and spent roughly four of those years in neighborhoods that were predominately hispanic (west Long Beach, various areas of Phoenix). I have never, not once, been hit by an illegal alien. Maybe I’m just WAY luckier than you, or maybe you need to pay better attention while driving through the barrio. Bottom line is that I think you’re largely full of shit, but I’ll trust this jpg of a Morgan Stanley account, because even if you shopped it it’s at least a good effort.

If this is legitimate, why are you working just for health insurance? I can buy a family policy for around a grand a month. I would think your time is worth WAY more than that if you’re worth nearly seven million bucks.
