The answer involves a company that profits from your data writing laws that collect more of it. [01:15] IsambardPrince "Trump's cankles have engorged themselves to the point even the strongest compression socks can barely contain them. The dam's about to burst. Dude gets bruises by just being alive, and the embalmed corpse of Vladimir Lenin looks better than he does even though it's been dead since the 1920s."

[03:01] IsambardPrince No shit, Sherlock. They cost 11% more at a minimum, and sometimes a lot more than that. [03:09] IsambardPrince MinceR, I was explaining taxes to someone from the Philippines.

[03:22] IsambardPrince Even the Pentagon workers going to "volunteer" with ICE for "data entry" are as guilty as the Germans who clerked at the concentration camps. [03:22] IsambardPrince It's the Banality of Evil. [03:22] MinceR indeed [03:22] IsambardPrince Most truly horrible people, are just every day people.

[03:28] IsambardPrince I'm gay, so some fake idiot pseudo liberal that makes six figures on the left coast says.... [03:29] IsambardPrince "I will speak FOR him." [03:29] IsambardPrince Oh, okay, you know I can't speak for myself so this is perfect. [03:29] IsambardPrince They never taught me how. [03:29] IsambardPrince They sat me in a corner and didn't educate me. [03:29] IsambardPrince That's why I grew into a life of poverty. [03:30] IsambardPrince Not assholes like you automating everything and voting for outsourcing. [03:30] IsambardPrince And really these people know how full of shit they are. [03:30] IsambardPrince They have to speak for me because they're afraid I might say that. [03:30] MinceR do they? that seems rare [03:30] IsambardPrince Things like that. [03:54] IsambardPrince MinceR, The T-800 probably could have pulled off the attack on the ICE detention camp from Dark Fate. [03:54] IsambardPrince I doubt it would have taken much damage. [03:54] IsambardPrince The police in 1984 couldn't stop it and there were thirty of them. [03:55] IsambardPrince He managed to kill about half a dozen of them before they realized they were under attack. [03:55] IsambardPrince Then another dozen or so before they could get to the heavy weapons locker. [03:55] IsambardPrince Then the other half because even those didn't affect it much. [03:56] IsambardPrince That was the standout scene from the first movie. [03:56] IsambardPrince MinceR, For some reason, the ICE and CBP agents that all got killed by Rev-9 think you stop a killer robot by hugging it.

[04:56] MinceR lol [04:57] IsambardPrince "A long-term care insurance policy can help offset costs, but these policies arent for everyone, especially nowadays. [04:57] IsambardPrince In the 1990s and 2000s, when generous coverage and underpriced premiums were the norm, carriers underestimated two things: how long people would live, and dementia, says Rosenblatt. Now, most policies allow insurers to make unlimited premium hikes, and many policyholders end up priced out just when they need coverage most. [04:57] IsambardPrince Hybrid policies, which combine life and long-term care insurance, are gaining traction, but theyre costly, and coverage is often limited. If you dont want to purchase an insurance plan, consider self-insuring by setting aside funds each year specifically for long-term care costs. Bonus: If you wind up not needing long-term care, you can spend the money on other things."
