841,485 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | Not for us. $276,000 is a lot to pay for insurance no one can use. The ACA only works, or doesn't, anecdotally, that is, in individual situations. In our situation, it has been virtually useless. | 4 | Monica, you fail to mention that subsidies from the federal government under the ACA have also risen as premiums have risen, helping to lower the rate of increase. And, since what you relate is anecdotal, it is difficult to identify the cost factors in your particular case - without being an insurance expert. The insurance market in your particular state - if it does not have the exchanges - could explain the cost increases you cite.
[BTW, Repub lead efforts to cripple/impede the ACA (checkout Marco Rubio's midnight amendment!) have contributed to many of the inequities like you mention.]
Due to the insurance-related provisions, 6 in 10 Americans can get covered for $100 or less on the Health Insurance Marketplace, with the average plan costing just $82 after Premium Tax Credits in 2014.
In 2015, due in part to the ACA, health-care spending grew at the slowest rate on record (since 1960). Meanwhile, health care price inflation is at its lowest rate in 50 years.

If you're a public manager and unionized public employees, or at least their representatives, don't hate you, you're either bought and paid for by the union(s), a wuss, or both. Jim is an alumni of the group of State labor relations hands in the Cowper and Hickel years who had to deal with the 80s oil price crash. We managed to disabuse the State's unions of the notion that they had any voice in how the State ran at the policy level. It appears the University employees need the same lesson. The Knowles Administration promised the unions it would fire us all, but we survived. The people in that group have gone on to head labor relations and/or personnel for the State, the Court System, the MOA, the CBJ, and the University. We're all pretty good at what we do, or now with us older ones once did, though I occasionally still dabble.

Let's be honest, folks. We don't like Trump or what he stands for. But the goniff was legally elected and his election was confirmed by the Congress. We can't heal the nation by denying that.

Our culture seems to breed heartless greed heads who regard success as driving others into the dirt so they can live like ancient Pharaohs in gilded pleasure palaces. Dark ages are not just those that force poverty for all, they also include those times that demand the destruction of the lives of the poor and the enslavement of the people to continual wars, and class inequalities.
We shatter our kids heads with idiotic gladiator sports like football, kill many strangers with our drones, and allow deliberate poverty and the lack of housing and medical care. That is the Republican Party in power, our rulers.

844,258 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | The right to return is a show stopper since it effectively means the end of Israel as a safe haven for Jews from an Israeli point of view. It would effectively create two Palestinian states which is why the Palestinians insist on it. Consider what happened to the Jews in other Arab countries. Where are they now?
The settlements would likely be given up if the Palestinians were serious about peace. Israel did this in Gaza and got the Hamas Charter as a reward. Besides, the Palestinians were committing acts of terror against Israel prior to 1967.
Arab-Israelis enjoy full rights including local Sharia law within Israel. Ask any of them if they would prefer living in another Arab country or the West Bank. The Druze in the Golan Heights readily admit their life is much better in Israel than in Syria.
BDS is viewed as simple antisemitism by the average Israeli and is having no real effect on Israel's economy. It is affecting the Palestinian economy however.

In that situation, Keynes recommended no government stimulus that would crowd out private ventures into markets. In conditions of stagnant growth and private cash hording, where we are today, Keynes recommended government direct job creation to inject money into the hands of consumers, whose buying would stimulate growth.
Tax cuts to corporations and people who are already swimming in cash won't create jobs or stimulate growth without demand for products from consumers. Without consumer demand, that cash won't be committed to economic growth. Therefore, tax cuts for the wealthy (and that's all the Republicans and Trump are interested in) won't move the meter on GDP.

Or perhaps it's just a good run, everything going their way, getting all the breaks. Maybe it has nothing at all to do with the rebuild. Your Leafs also had a good run a year ago, then shut down Reimer as he was playing too well and messing things up.

It has been decades since car manufacturers installed emission control devices. Factories in the developed world have installed various scrubbers and made other adjustments to control their emissions.

Here's the breakdown on the Planned Parenthood budget:
Contraception - 35%
STD testing and treatment - 35%
Cancer screening and prevention - 16%
Other women's health services - 10%
Abortion services - 3%
Other - 1%
Having seen the truth, you no longer have any excuse for spreading your malicious lies, no doubt inspired by Satan. At this point, if you believe in a just God, you need to fall on your knees, admit to your malicious lies, and ask His forgiveness. It also would be appropriate for you to apologize to all the gullible people whom you misled with your malicious lies. That may include your children. | 10 | I think most RFL'rs would agree with you - unwanted pregnancies are not a good thing, and one of the main agendas of the RFL'rs is abstinence, which is the best contraception possible and 100% reliable. It will also reduce the amount of STD's, Emotional Trauma from having sexual relations at too young of an age, etc. But this cannot be taught to kids in school - their solution is to encourage them to have sex by handing out birth control, which leads to more unwanted pregnancies and other physical and emotional problems.

One, the easy, "gusher" wells are becoming less productive, hence why we are looking to more non-conventional sources. Two, new technologies in extraction are making it more efficient every year. Last, along with materials and energy, labour is the other major cost in oilsands extraction. Part of the reason it was so expensive were the absurd wages paid in Alberta during the boom - $100/hr for a truck driver, etc.
There are still people on this very board saying oilsands aren't profitable at $50, and they obviously know nothing. Costs can be controlled, reduced, made more efficient. With its head start, it may be one of the cheaper extraction options within the timeframes you're talking. | 4 | Did you you happen to notice what happened to the oil markets mid 2014? That was a 1% or 2% oversupply that pushed oil prices from $100 to $40. Imagine what would happen if you eliminate 45%? Canada's oil isn't in the 50% cheapest part of the production stack either.
