Oh, that’s the fun part of it - it’s your debt, but on the children’s insurance. They’re moving the care from one patient to another (to max out family out of pocket charges), but the parents are on the contract and can be sued.

That’s in addition to a deduction of taxes they pay in their country.

In the US, the penalty for not filing is in addition to whatever to is owed.

If you’re a US citizen, you need to file once you’re 18 pretty much. If you don’t go to the US, and don’t live in a place with lower taxes, that’s it.

And that Black people will get benefits if we have social programs, and can’t have that.

Both our kids were charged 6,000 to be born . . . Fun trick, where they charge the baby, since the mother has probably hit their out of pocket max, and that lets them jack it to the family max.

More Luigis please.

Again, if you want to say it’s a bad deal,it’s a different argument. Russia wasn’t demanding territory,and that’s what the poster was claiming.

Putin at one point was the US’ favored guy, as Yeltsin’s heir

British press is already there. Anything to pretend it wasn’t Israel.

Worked as an American consultant for the Dutch government in IT, can confirm this absolutely. It’s a case of finding private companies to funnel money to instead of actually creating capacity, all because of the incorrect illusion that the private sector is magically efficient.

My unofficial advice to my colleagues while leaving my posting was “stop hiring people like me. Spend the money on developing good internal devs”.

Must be nice to decide that Ukraine has to keep fighting when you’re not one of the conscripts dying.

Britain didn’t suspend elections in WWII, they used a parliamentary trick to avoid them.

Nobody doubts Britain’s a democracy

They’re a monarchy. Without a constitution.

Although the more I learn about Russia the more I hate the every day Russian

Meh, if we’re going to blame the citizens for the country, my ire goes first to the US. Who’s populous doesn’t even have the excuses of WWII and the horrors of the 90s in Russia for their embrace of monsters.

Putin is a war criminal and should hang - but what he claims as precedents (illegal NATO unilateral bombing of Yugoslavia, illegal invasion of Iraq, etc) isn’t made up either. The West is pretty ridiculous in yelling about warmongering when George W Bush is still a respected former President making pictures after killing a million people and most Americans can’t even tell you what countries the US is bombing this week.

if you think Ukrainians want to hand additional power to Russia

We usually have things called elections to find out what people want to do.

It seems like you’re accepting Russian propaganda as reality

No, again, I just don’t call for wars I don’t fight in.

Sorry, what part of the trenches you serving in again?

I don’t need you explaining anything to me? You’re claiming it was a land grab, and it wasn’t. Seems you should get a better idea of the subject before deciding you need to lecture others.

The “rule” is in the constitution

It’s not. It says elections can be delayed in time of war, not that they must be. Please go read it yourself, to dispel this frequent myth.

And regardless if it’s constitutional, not holding elections is not democratic. Because that’s what the word means.

There was no way for Ukraine to join NATO

That actually IS in the amended constitution. And the MAP was submitted in 2008i. https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/833852.html

vatnik

Do you even know what that word means?

As I said, that’s a different argument. But claiming that Russia was demanding land is just not the case.

in a war of pure aggression and greed

I don’t support Russia or Putin. But their aim has been blatantly to not have NATO on their border here, and to have a series of buffer states.

The only deal Ukraine should accept

Given neither one of us is fighting in the trenches, I don’t think either of us should be telling Ukrainian conscripts what they should or shouldn’t accept. It’s pretty morally repugnant to me to demand someone else fights and dies for something I won’t.
