Check out the threads on container shipping and then contact one of the shippers. They will clue you in.

The system also has not noted you reply.
I understand tat Kansas City was just used as an example. Born and raised here and never knew of anyone ever being mugged. Get in a bad area and YMMV.
Looks to be a great article. We need to see all sides of CR.
This guy had a problem as well. He went to CR for awhile.
He won his court case so i guess what he says is true.I sure didn’t mean to stir up anything and never did get an answer.
The great scientist Max Planck may have said it best: “A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.” This quotation is sometimes paraphrased more succinctly: “Science advances one funeral at a time.”
Sort of applies to politics as well! lol
When they get out for a while and get a little wild they will be near impossible to catch. I tried several times to catch a pair with chicks. I tried to catch them in a 40×60 ft barnm When there was an opening at the far end of the barn they would go insides and eat the grain i put out. Close the opening at the far end where they couldn’t see the light from it and no way would they go in that barn.

Although this is likely a futile exercise, let me give you a glimpse of my world. 55 years old, male, married, self employed, employees, overhead, vehicle fleet; parent of two self sufficient young adults. Working class parents and grandparents.I’ve had health insurance every day of my working life, paid for by my labor, sometimes with the assistance of my past employers, mostly not. In any event, I chose to allot that money for my peace of mind.
Like it or not, (probably not) people prioritize what they spend money on. Many people are bums and pitiful excuses for parents. Others will never get anywhere in life no matter what you do for them (See: LBJ, Great Society) There are dozens of reasons people don’t have health insurance, but only a few are truly valid. The recurring number I’ve heard reported is that 85% of Americans are happy with their healthcare, although the cost is a factor they’d like improved. So where are the cost savings in this new plan? All I see are mandates, taxes, fines; hardly a recipe for lower costs.
Question is: Does this justify a government takeover of private industry? Not for our welfare; it’s about tax, control, spend.
I suggest that if your having a hard time finding anyone that sees this takeover as objectionable, you need to start engaging people that you fundamentally disagree with, and try their shoes on for size. You might have an epiphany.
But then again, probably not.[/quote]
Been there, done that. Retired and 69, I did own my own business and my circumstances were similar.
Take a look at the cash that the insurors are taking in and they deny you for preconditions, set annual individual and family limits and decide for what treatment they will pay. No matter how many ways you can think of that the insurors can gouge you they are 10 steps ahead of you.
I agree about the bums and ne’er-do-wells but they are being forced into a system that will attempt to prevent your having to carry those people through your tax dollars. Every time they get free health care, you pay. They have to start carrying their own weight and the only way to do so is by law. I have siblings that fit this mold and I have resented it for years.
Happy with your health care? Keep it! but don’t let them dictate your treatment as they do now.
The number of “agents” is untrue that number includes support staff. For every agent there is a support staff but the tax $$$ saved by requiring insurance will more than offset the additional work force.
The government is not getting into the insurance business by setting up the insurance pool. It simply oversees the pool with a small staff. The idea of the pool is to force insurors to be more competetive in order to sell their product.
You can not name one piece of legislation that was perfect out of the box and this is no different. It will require changes as all other legislation has required changes.
Costa Rica has a truly socialist type of health care system and they are still changing for the better 61 years down the line.
Economics is a special interest of mine and I could be wrong but I think with patience you will fing that the kinks will be worked out over time.
I’ll give Obama credit for getting something done that bo other president has had the huevos to accomplished since Roodevelt (Teddy) first mentioned it in 1912.[/quote]
I didn’t write it. Versatile
[quote=”CostaRicaDreamin”]PauldThomas I have a gun(my Right) but I have never tried on one of those whitehooded sheets your talking about because I’m not like that. And David (All Knowing) my shoe fits just fine, Thank You! We all have THE RIGHT TO express ourselves the way we want to when we live in freedom loving countries. If I ever decide to move to the Catholic (christian) country of Costa Rica as that is the main religion of the country,I will still have to right to express my right of speech and listen to your right of speech. Case Closed.[/quote]
Not necessarily.
I read to limit salt intake and maybe exercise the legs on the airplane or those stocking to prevent blood clots.Since it happens right after arrival i suspect long sitting periods are your problem. I am not a doctor etc but i have watched a few doctor shows in the past,lol
I know that threads around here have away of wandering a bit. This one has totally gone off a cliff in regards to the original intent. All in all it does prove that some out there are ATE UP WITH IT!
My best guesstimate is that very few of those i term ATE UP WITH IT stay a short time. Just long enough to get fed up with how Ticos are doing everything wrong.
I also understand that my opinion most likely means nothing to anyone else but me. But hey! I started the thread anyway! lol
[quote=”CostaRicaDreamin”][I guess we will all see before long. Maravilla, Take off those rose colored glasses you wear, and see what the secret elites really have in store for us all! Including mobster muslim Obama.[/quote]
I would prefer that you don’t mess up my thread with your racism. Please go start your own racist thread. I guarantee you i will not post in it.
I have my original and i have a Certified Birth Certificate. The original was unacceptable for my passport and most likely anything else as well.
