Hole In Roof

[roster]

If you've got a house, and you've got a big hole in your roof, and it's raining and it's snowing through that roof, and there are some people who are inside the rooms where the roof's okay, and they're nice and warm, and then you got a few, you know, of your -- your family members in that room where there's a big hole in the roof, and they're shivering and they're cold, if you repair the roof, that's going to cost some money. But if all the water damage from your floors and all the heat that's going out of the roof and all -- you count all those savings, over time, it may turn out that it actually is saving you money and, by the way, all those family members now are warm too. You're not the only one who's warm, right? That's essentially what we're trying to set up.

This is goung to require some deeeeep thinking!

Roooster Have you checked your AHI lately? It seems to be getting a little high, or is something else getting high?

[Muse-Inc]

You're a hoot Rooster!

Aha! I knew you were at Democrat deep down!

LOL - I was going to ask the same thing. Maybe he's smoking something. Maybe it's all the smoke and heat that's escaping through the hole in the roof and being captured by the CPAP hose?

Finally you understand the concept of a single payer universal healthcare system.

Congrats on getting some air up to that peanut of yours ...

My hole in the roof plan has always been,
you can't fix it when it's raining,
you don't need to when it's not.

It's all good.

Yeah, clearly, anyone who thinks that's the answer has a "hole in the roof"...

Perhaps, but those who "know" that's the answer have a life-time warranty on their roof.

However, those unable to think at all have no roof cuz it has collapsed under the weight of the koolaide (err, I mean tea) ... they need a complete mental rebuild of their party house.

Hello Roster...

In the end... productivity rises, costs go down (crime, social welfare, health costs) when everyone is warm and dry. We, after all, are one big family. Right...

However when it is -30C and snowing hard ..... all those people with that attitude will need to be buried before spring hits or else!

Comrade Roster:

That 'might' be OK if the other "family members" were helping out with the rent, groceries, chores. Thankfully, I don't have to house strangers in my house or use a community drinking glass...YET.

BTW: Didn't they already try and fail with this experiment in Eastern Europe?

That is a strange family. It needs one side with guns, prisons and IRS thugs to forcibly take money from part of the family and transfer it to another part of the family.

My own family has some dysfunction from time to time, but certainly nothing like that.

On another point, you seem to infer that lack of resources cause crime. I have lived and worked in a few different neighborhoods and observed this differently. I have seen prosperous neighborhoods turn to crime and then poverty followed. I have also read some good studies showing crime causes poverty and not the other way around.

We are all part of one big family of God. God, in the instructions He gave us, the Holy Bible, asks us to help the less fortunate. But nowhere in His Book, does he tell us to form governments to force others to help the less fortunate. He wants us to do it ourselves.

Funny how family can be interpreted as body organs and the hole as apnea or as a political comment. We have singularly interesting minds in this forum
