Re: California conservation corps?

Looking for a little more information on this does anyone know anything about it? I’ve got a friend just got out of high school looking for work and he’s kind of interested in this. he’s asking my advice and I don’t know anything about it really. Secular friend. I think you have to be a California ...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

i believe those LEADING know what they’re saying. i believe the general public HEARS: FREE FOR ALL i believe leaders know very well the mismatch. Medicare is not free. There are premiums for all the supplementary coverage. And people pay into it their entire working lives through payroll deductions...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

Josh: I myself use Medicaid which actually is free. Virtually anyone more conservative than I am would refuse it. i’m pretty sure, those who call for “Medicare for all” are thinking of Medicaid. No, they are actually thinking of Medicare not Medicaid. Medicare is government-run health care for the ...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

In the post directly above you Josh is saying that very thing. That most conservative groups would reject it out of principle. Nit-pick my exact language all you want. I believe it is entirely accurate to say that most conservative Anabaptist groups do not respond to the same economic incentives as...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

I specifically said that is what I would do. I did not say that is what most conservatives would do. Soloist and Josh said most conservatives don't have insurance, not that most of them refuse free employer provided coverage. So is it your claim that Conservative Anabaptists who refuse insurance on...

Re: "Traditional Pennsylvania Dutch" Foods?

What would be the nutritional effect of consuming a diet of those foods? Other than the beet eggs it is basically all sugar and carbs. What I remember from my Pennsylvania Dutch Menno grandmother was lots of home-cured country ham. Served for both breakfast and dinner. But maybe that was just her th...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

For example, on the HPV thread we are informed that most CAs will refuse free employer-provided health insurance that is a benefit potentially worth many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Who told you that one? I certainly didn't. Is this you? I would waive coverage. I have a statement on file with...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

I sat in a intro philosophy course taught by a gender studies professor who really wanted to teach 3rd wave feminism. A favorite activity for me was to imagine if she considered my mother oppressed in the patriarchy or a feminist. It wasn't always clear because the criteria she valued didn't transl...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

What plain people do or don't do has nothing to do with either question since they are very unrepresentative of the population as a whole. Quite to the contrary; they are ordinary people just like everyone else. Or are you claiming that they are somehow exceptional people who don't respond to "...
