sc94597, that was a very interesting original post and many interesting points were made in the replies both by you and others. You said you didn't have to work as a teen, and that is probably both good and bad. You have been able to achieve, but holding a part-time job as a teen can be a very useful experience. I think that many youths have no role models for the notion that if you hold a lawful job, you will get paid, and if you make a good impression and improve your skills, you can get paid more. The labor force participation rate for the 16-24 age group has declined by over 11% from 1992-2012. As for single payer, the Veterans Administration defeated General Shinseki, who was one of the best generals. There is a high probability the whole system will turn out like that if we do single payer. Please note, I private messaged you.
