Well a lot of that green wind electricity do get converted onto green plants, funny enough often in whole houses converted to greenhouses, with illegal bypass of the electric meter, and for some strange reason often manned by 1 or 2 Vietnamese guys.

Many a guy out in the sticks have rented a house out, only a little later to find it all torn up inside and a strong smell of those new weeds with like 10 X more THC in it that the Moroccan stuff we mostly smoked.

Those new designer weeds do pack a punch, and i am pretty sure we will see even more psychosis on that account.

@Street Guardian USA To continue off topic....Canada's health care is 100% free to the population. The money is collected by the government when we make a salary they deduct each month. But If people do not work to have a salary it still will be free. The only drawback to this system is that when a person needs to see a doctor in a hurry we are out of luck. Always a 2 to 3 months wait even for a specialist. So if you need to see a doctor same day we have to go to a hospital emergency dept.(also free) and sit there for 10 hours. And when you do get to see a Doctor on duty they will put you through a radiation horror of scans such as CT scans and many x-rays. Because they do not have our medical history and they are just GP's. So let's hope USA comes up with a better system. Oh and in Canada even if we want to pay up front to get a Doctor right away we can't.

Our healthcare system is the most expensive universal access system in the world. In 2015 exactly half of the total tax revenue taken in by the federal government went to healthcare.
The average family of 4 pays $11,000 per year and it ranges from $500 to $57,000. And yes, even if your homeless and dont work you pay tax. Its not just from income tax.
Also most Canadians need private health insurance since the universal access stuff doesnt cover everything- $200/month is the cheapest plan i found for us and we still had $1200 of out of pocket medical costs in one month earlier this year.

This is what a government calls free...

You wait months to years for surgeries, 7hrs is our average in the emergency room (family doctors need about 1-2weeks notice). No option to pay for better or faster service- have to go to the usa for that and many of us do.
Many of the doctors suck because they work for the government and not you and you cant pick who you want. And on and on...

I have fantastic free government high quality & fast coverage at the VA hospital in Reno Nevada (Veteran's Affairs, I'm a US Air Force Veteran, served in a war zone)

Correct, I was in Saudi Arabia supporting the U2 EWS/Data-Link systems but there was no active Iraq war at the time. I pretty much assisted Lockheed contractors. Troubleshooting involved moving around million dollar black boxes.

I didn't even know I was eligible for a lifetime of free VA healthcare until I left my old IT support job and started researching my healthcare options. (Was a pleasant surprise/discovery)
 
learn something everyday. i should join the airforce and goto war for a few days.
 
In the past wars when the Cavalry rode horses, the people who doctored the animals were Vet Vets 😀

Glad we do something good for our Veterans but that service is variable based on location and several other things, and sometimes it's just plain inadequate 🙁 It took one friend of mine 9 years (no typo) to get the help he needed and was qualified for but at least in the end the system worked and he's OK now 😉

A 68 yo Vietnam era veteran buddy of mine who lost the hearing in his left ear in combat and has suffered from PTSD for more than 40 years now was sent to see a mid 20's something female social worker at the nearby VA hospital who told him to "get over it". 😡

When i was sailing i always wanted to sail in a war zone, that triple a sailors pay 🙂

Worked with a guy that sailed in the Arabian golf when they was shooting super tankers up with missiles in the 80ties, he did not get anything out of that cuz his girlfriend drained his bank account as fast as he could earn the money.

I like the American concept of taking care of its veterans that way, or at least the ides of it. We Danes only lately got something similar, and still now many of our veterans from the Balkan conflict and onward still have to limb thru life in a manner i find insulting considering how many money this country use on other so called poor and weak people.

I would very much like to meet some of the WW2 veterans if i ever got to the states, i always felt like i owe those men a lot, and i am not even American.
 
I tend to forget those nowadays, and as my youtube channel indicate lately i had few encounters, making me thing the dumb asses have been on holiday.

That's BS. My '9 year' friend was very similar with PTSD and got there so your friend can too. Tell your friend to demand- not ask- for another PTSD doctor constantly at every meeting they have with any VA employee or contractor until they get that. Have him put the request in writing. Every one of those people are supposed to make a record of patient complaints and 'kick it up the line'. Most don't do that so asking a few times isn't enough. Constant and continuous is the only way- nothing else seems to work 😉 It really only took my friend about 1 1/2 years- the rest of the time was wasted doing it the 'official and proper' way which does not work. I've heard many a similar story from many other Veterans. You've got to push them into action; they won't go on their own 😡

The treatment is usually great when you get treated, but reaching that point can be a war in itself. It shouldn't be that way at all 🙁
