    I agree, but watching the game...the boys have looked a bit flat the past two games. Also, besides the PP, we just aren’t getting the chances I had expected given the players that returned from last year.

    I think there is something to the ice conditions that was mentioned before.  Boys all night need to check their hollows.  

  2. Here’s the irony...as a highly compensated person living in CA, I personally will do better under Biden’s tax roll backs.  I can likely get my AGI just below his threshold...deferred compensation, 401K...and the return of full SALT deductions....bad for the country...good for a guy like me.

    Stated previously I oppose a complete lock down.  That does not mean we abandon all common sense measures to limit the spread of the virus.

    No disagreement here.  Masking didn’t stop us from getting sick, but it might’ve resulted in a lower viral load. Masks in public settings indoors makes common sense.  I’m feeling really good about our outcome.  We never stopped living life, took basic precautions. Got it. Got over it.

    Guess I did not make it clear,

    I realize there is a mask mandate in place and some common sense measures have been ordered that if everyone complies will slow down the out of control virus which is the worst in the world,

    You see what they did at the Shanghai airport?  Would we as a society be okay with that level of draconian lock down?  I don’t think we’d be okay with that.

    I said learn from, not trade with. As someone with a good standard of living, health insurance, and a healthy(+/-) lifestyle, if/when I need serious healthcare I do and will continue to go the best regional facilities I can - might as well play the hand you're dealt. That doesn't mean our current system couldn't use an overhaul - Canada's system consistently outperforms ours in several major metrics, most significantly life expectancy and percentage of GDP that is spent on health care.

    Us system is bi-Modal in terms of pop health metrics.  That is an issue, but if you are educated with means- there has been no better time or place to seek healthcare than in the US today.  
     

    I would also contend that % of GDP is not a negative.  What should a highly developed society spend money on if not improving health and delivering healthcare?  It certainly is better than spending it on say marketing and producing junk that you don’t need.

     

  6. Wealth and income are two very different things.  If you have a high income you can become wealthy over time, but they are different concepts.  
     

    the 1% in CA is about $650k, nationwide it’s about $500k.  If you are earning that as a w2 employee somewhere you don’t have a ton of tax “loopholes”
