You mean you don't have a Hollywood blockbuster budget? Just (like the rest of us) a busted budget? ;)
The more money I have to spend replacing wrecked drones, the less money I have to spend on drones.

Well, if'n yer gonna take trips, ya gotta take pictures & share with those of us that don't get to take trips! Glad you have a drone group started!
I did this video while at my brother's house in Marietta. A coupla Porchers saw it when I posted it to FB. My mom didn't have any normal children, which my brother illustrated by asking me to edit out the parts of the video that showed him.

Well I was enjoying Viceland and went to a program and it asked me to log in so I did and it said I didn't have a subscription through Dish and to get that I have to spend $60 more a month so no more Viceland. Well off to the VA to get my last refill of the magic cure.

At any rate Obummer care. Remember, not what he proposed. What he settled for. All the GOP would allow. Of course I'm sure they assumed (like everyone else on the planet) the supreme court would over ride it. (hence trying to dump it 97000 times. So far) I'm also trying to figger out how the gov can force someone to pay for something. Car insurance? Sure. Don't drive if you don't want to pay for it. But health insurance?

I think you need to reverse the order of your candidates .. secondly, since you get a Government Subsidy, your premium is capped based on income .. that's how it works .. the numbers say Texas is getting an average 30% increase .. either you are making a lot more money, or your premium increase claim is bogus ..

I am no longer willing to sit on the side lines and play nice on Political issues, although I have been .. so, if we continue to walk down that Road, fair warning .. otherwise, take it to Reddit ..

I voted yesterday. I no longer have to sweat and worry about it, because I have done everything I could do.

The problem is more the company I was with no longer offers through the marketplace, so the lowest cost plan is much higher than I was paying.

And as for your opinion, I welcome all opinions, everyone has them, they are more fun if they are shared.

And offense is taken, not given, just as respect is earned, not demanded.

Some time ago during this Election Cycle, several here either complained or asked for the Thread to be a Politics Free Zone .. I have kept my mouth shut as far as making overt, Political Commentary .. in 2012, at the last Election Cycle, on the Thread that was running at that time, those of us that were around then had fairly gentle discussion and we all respected each others views .. we did not use inflammatory language, nor invoke insulting Candidate Nicknames ..

I'll leave it at that, unless others want to weigh in, and thusly, I reserve the right to weigh in as well .. or, we can jointly drop it ..

I welcome a lovely debate as long as everyone keeps their temper, if you want to debate me over pm, that's fine. If you take offense at my words, I am truly sorry, they were not meant to be taken as such, more of my expressing my disgust at this current burden, which is forcing me into a dangerous position. If you know of some part of Obama Care that I am unaware of that would obfuscate this dilemma, please elucidate. Otherwise imma gripe about it.

Say what you want, put up all the articles you want, I only have anecdotal evidence of my own costs going up, the increase was 541%. Plain and simple, it is cheaper for me to pay out of pocket and pay the fine than to pay for insurance, your own mileage may vary.
