Deliberately eschewing capitalization and appending random emojis has nothing at all to do with authors voice.
Not to mention that sometimes a Luk is a Luk, and sometimes merely as pedantic, and it makes no difference either way.
For the record, Fro and Sarge don't have the same voice. Different rhyme, same meter. Neither will make an actual point, both like snark and meaningless, obtuse questions which is why no one ostensibly on their "team" ever engages with them.
Fro I can see sitting on the edge of the room reading a magazine. Spidey is still looking for the bike rack.

Again, for the perpetually s l o w-
When you have paid into a failing ponzi scheme 15% of a lifetime of your earnings and somewhat less than promised get a DIMINISHED return on that FORCED investment...it is not charity.
No matter how many times you nitwits chortle over those of us FORCED to participate in it as accepting a handout, it will never be true any more than Rob's moronic assertion that contractually earned veterans benefits are charity.
Is your retired Senator's pension charity or socialism? How about Police pensions? What about Railroad Workers Retirement System payments?
What is it about progressives that you are all incapable of constructing a basic analogy? Somehow or another it seems like the vast majority of you managed to do well enough on an SAT to get into college. Did you just skip that entire section?
Analogies have to be analogous which means the things referenced must be similar enough to invite comparison. This does not mean that if you torture to things with a shoehorn into some sort of proximity for comparison that they are comparable.

You must be stupid or something, the Covid relief package that was passed included a 100 billion dollar fund to pay hospitals for treatment of patients with the disease.
That applies to EVERYONE.

So, right wing nut jobs engaging in high risk behavior and reliant on others' taxes to cover their medical bills......
Or are you one of those special idiots who thinks that government spend appears out of thin air?
Fucking idiot.

We'd see the death total go up if Antifa shows up.

I've tossed a lot of money into toys in the past. I'm a bit more prudent these days unless I see something I just "have to have."
Most of my extravagance these days go into shop machinery, tools or photographic gear.

In addition to HisArpy's point about the 100 billion dollars we are paying hospitals in a perverse incentive to put patients on ventilation (which for this disease, kills them) and tack on some more "Covid" deaths for any underfunded patient, you need a basic working knowledge of compounded interest and opportunity cost.
The value of his contributions is not the sum total of the contributions, it is the present value of all of those contributions valued by the method of the future value of a present dollar. Think of it as an investment account using dollar-cost averaging. You put in a certain amount dollar-wise each paycheck into that account. Sometimes it doesn't buy very many shares when prices are high but each time the price@ dip you buy more shares and up with an average share purchase trendline and then you end up with compounding on top of that because of course you're going to reinvest all dividends and capital gains realized.
It far outstrips any expense he could possibly incur from a Covid hospitalization. That of course assumes that he's in the minor percentage of people who would even have symptoms at all and then the diminishing portion that would require treatment and then the oven lesser portion that would require hospitalization on down to someone who would require a ventilator which would be highly unlikely.
You should put down the shovel.

Not one of them would approve of the Antifa anarchist-commies. Most of them could still kick fascist ass. Antifa aren't non-fascists any more than progressives are for actual progress.

When I look at my liquid assets these days I don't see an immediate ability to purchase something. I see the possibility of a future need. This usually occurs when guys get older and their two and three car garages gets smaller.

And suddenly you're a doctor....
You should stop believing people when they seem interested in what you have to say.

Couple things... He's been a doctor for a very very long time, just ask him.
And, ahahaha! That might be the funniest and on point take on Coronager in forever.

Fucking idiot.
As noted above, EVERYONE gets "free"** CV19 care. That means NO ONE has to "hold their hand out" or "reach into your pocket after their contribution runs out" and EVERYONE'S "contributions" are EXACTLY THE SAME.
**Kinda like "FREE" college tuition and "FREE" healthcare for all.

You should have stopped at the "I think" part because it's obvious that you don't.
Case in point, very few "doctors" discuss financial nuances as part of their day-to-day work performance.

And yours is a sign of high intelligence.
You'll pardon the crowd as they laugh at you.
Again.
