When both parents work, family \"values\" are increased.

So I can prove that you can't start a fire with negative-power glasses.

Don't get me started...When I was an employer I paid $800 a month towards whatever health insurance plan the employee wanted to choose. The young single people thought I was generous and wise; the married heads of families thought I was a parsimonious asshole who wanted their kids to die. When I had stents put in my heart, <i>everybody's</i> rates went up 25%.

OT, but there's no place else to take this FFS-level anger.

The<i> IRS</i> has decided that "affordability" of employer-provided health insurance will be based on the price of employee-only coverage. Got kids and want health insurance for 'em, Mr Minimum-Wage Employee? Dig <a href="http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/01\/31\/us\/politics\/irs-to-base-insurance-affordability-on-single-coverage.html\?emc=eta1" target="_blank">deep</a>. Family plans cost four or five times as much. Universal coverage for everybody who can afford it!

Steal a little and they throw you in jail. Steal a lot and they make you king

There could be more to this than is the article. Reyes might have beaten a cop's son or nephew.

Way more, last time I bought one. I guess I should have just nicked it.
