Yours is the only country in the world to do healthcare like this.
The U.S. has invented costly healthcare management structures that bleed money away from the actual care.
Why? At the root, I believe it’s classism and racism. Well-off white males don’t want the undeserving to get these benefits.

#FreelanceFriends I dunno… I don’t want to keep bringing this up because a) it sounds like I’m gloating, and b) it’s not helpful to you.
But here, 🇨🇦, it’s not a thing. Nobody thinks about it. I’ve had a lot of medical care this past year. It’s enough to think about your outcomes and treatment.

Sorta the same. Been fairly close to bears, camera in hand, but wasn’t expecting, so just a couple of blurry shots.
My son, on the other hand, had a sow bluff charge him twice. No time for photos. Just walk backwards slowly out of that forest. #FreelanceFriends

This seems to be a real problem. Nothing that keeps up with the platforms and doesn’t cost a fortune.

The NDP will come to their senses to ensure the budget will pass.
The PCs will oppose it because that’s all they know how to do.

Yeah, a lot of catchers are short. The great Yogi Berra was 5’7”.
Alejandro calls a great game. Especially good guiding the young Yesavage.

Some Blue Jays inspiration.
Last year, we finished dead last in our division. Nobody expected much from us this year.
Our year started slowly, but by July we were in first place and never looked back.
Now, we’re one win away from World Series champs.
Never give up! #FreelanceFriends

Thought: if your business is big enough, hire someone to come in twice a month to do your bookkeeping, filing, etc
It takes a load off your mind and frees you to do more important work.

B for me. Personally it’s interesting to keep up with what’s going on.
Also, to help where I can and encourage people to go for it. Stretch. Do something new. Have an adventure.

Yeah. We’ll figure him out.
BTW, Yesavage who just pitched 7 spectacular innings, told the coaches, if needed, he’ll pitch a couple of relief innings Friday! 😳
The kid wants the ball!

The lesson here? Have a relationship with the people higher up so you can contact them when necessary.
We’ve become friends and have lunches. I’m trying to encourage him to retire. He doesn’t need to work. 😉
