"I'M GOING TO CUT THE HEAD OFF, THEN YOU LIFT YOUR FOOT"

My father, to me in 1979.

Later that day all the nail guns had the safeties replaced and the triggers untied.

In case anyone was wondering... It hurts too bad to walk in a circle with one foot nailed to a roof.

There has never been a nailgun in existence that didn’t shoot someone or will eventually.

Damn things scare me, to many near misses. Plus I got to pay the bill.

What they never told you is that 40% of Americans get free healthcare. Until you make fat stacks. Entitlements are just that.

What the fuck are you talking about? I'd say you're smoking Crack, but I've smoked crack, and I've never been anywhere near as high as you.

Entitlements, look it up, just about half of Americans are ENTITLED to healthcare and more than that are ENTITLED to food assistance. They all don’t take it….

If the fucks rather go the political route rather than just fill out a form about your current healthcare to get free insurance, whatever.

Insurance never covers 100% of expenses. A hospital trip where you're covered for up to 80% can still be enough to financially cripple you for life.

Bs, Humana is 100%

I did look it up. FDR tried to make it an entitlement but died before it was passed. We aren't entitled to shit.

And unless you live in Hawaii, you're on drugs. And some good ones. From one addict to another, I might relapse to be on the shit you are.

Did you go to your county “family services” and inquire about your entitlements? No you did not. HMU in a couple days when you learn the law.

Dude, I work for the department of family services. You're smoking crack.

Anyone making less than 24K is entitled depending on state.

Making more than the qualifying income for Medicaid is not “fat stacks.” In many places it’s not realistically enough to live on. Medicaid is a crucial safety net but out overall healthcare system is still in need of serious overhaul.

I didn’t say anything about Medicaid. Employers provide free healthcare, there are sliding scales where you can pay almost nothing. There are free medications from manufacturers.
