The Near Future Concerned by Russia's Advance into Ukraine

I am fed up with Russian propaganda with disinformation, but Putin's selfishness and thick-skinned duplicity is Trump himself. Putin's self-serving duplicity is Trump himself. He has incited division, increased discrimination, and set back human values by decades, and he has disrupted and strained the world order and set back the state of governance to what it was a long time ago. It is precisely the same that seeks to destroy democracy with force and impunity.

The contradiction is that the side that is pressuring Ukraine to abandon its nuclear weapons possesses powerful nuclear weapons, and the one-sided threat structure of the strong side is problematic.

The Russian outburst has also sort of affirmed North Korea's stance, since the reality is that a small country can easily be invaded by force even in this day and age unless it has nuclear weapons.

If the world continues to ignore Russia, public opinion will turn to such a uniform color, and the world will move in the opposite direction of world peace, but there is a high probability that Ukraine will actually be abandoned.

Since Russia has not joined NATO, is not an ally, and the return to its own country is not worth it, at least military intervention is unrealistic, and economic sanctions seem to be the only way to deal with the situation.

If you can prove your low income, you can give birth for free. Or you will be charged according to their income ( how low their income is ) T.H,E. clinic is a hospital for low income people. It is a regular hospital, not just an obstetrics clinic. If you can be treated there, you will be treated there and prescribed medicine. Those that cannot be treated or prescribed there will be sent to a regular hospital. However, if you can prove your low income at the T.H.E. clinic, the cost will remain free of charge, or the cost will be based on your low income.

A friend of mine was staying with me right after her divorce because she had no job and no savings. But she found out she was pregnant. Her ex-husband had cut off her insurance, so she went to the T.H.E. Clinic. I went as an escort. I was a little surprised to see many people in the waiting room who looked like Hispanics or homeless people ?.
My friend went to the T.H.E. clinic a few times, but when it was getting close to delivery, she was referred to a hospital in Beverly Hills. And I gave birth at that hospital. All the costs were free. As it happens, I had two babies at that hospital a few years ago. I had insurance, but I paid a reasonable bill. So the fact that I was able to give birth properly at the same hospital for free made me realize the generous care for low-income people in the US.
This was 4 years ago.

I have heard that County Hospitals and other hospitals also have the same kind of support as T.H.E. clinics.
If you are concerned about the cost of delivery, you might try those hospitals.

Boomer,

> Japanese type with separate outdoor and indoor units

I was initially looking for that type of cooler for my patio room, but

the ones sold at the time were made by Panasonic, $ 2,500 ~ 3,000. 2,500 $ 3,000.

I didn't want to invest that much so I went with the cheaper

ones that were movable indoors and required two air ducts. Strictly speaking, though, it wouldn't be

"portable" if two ducts were permanently attached.

Topy is only asking how to investigate
so he would have already read other people's posts and taken action.
But he probably knew from his last letter and other communications that he was in Los Angeles.

I knew someone who was staying in Los Angeles with a father and son.
The two children returned home first, then the couple stayed behind, but the husband died first
and the wife stayed behind alone, but returned home in the middle of her 70s.
If she had stayed behind and died here
it would have been good because relatives from Japan would have had to come and sort it out.

Did the agent decide on Suppliment without explaining ? Medicare A ( inpatient ) 100% but B ( doctors, tests, etc ) only 80% so you have to pay 20% of your own expenses?

Suppliment seems to be a lucrative business and we get a lot of ads when we renew in October. We have a cheap plan, $ about 120 for 2 people, so $ 300 is a very advanced plan without deductible. I don't know if it would be a good idea if you have a pre-existing condition and have high medical expenses. It seems that it is almost impossible to upgrade, but it is easy to change to a cheaper plan. You can do a little research on your own and then talk to other agents.

I understand that the coverage is the same because it is subject to the Medicare A and B rules, which everyone is on.
The difference will be how much Medicare B pays for the 20% co-pay. ( Basically, I think the Deductible is higher or lower, but check with your agent )

# Of the 16 medical expenses, did you have zero co-pay ?

Medicare's I found the site and have attached a link to it below. Since hospitalization is covered 100% by Medicare A, it is unlikely that Medicare B ( doctors, tests, etc. ) co-pays would be as high as $10,000.

Medicare D will not cover drugs unless they are separately enrolled in Medicare D. Maybe $ the 300 premium includes this ? cheap Medicare D is $ less than 10.

# 19 , may be a high grade Medigap called Deductible zero. Since I never reached Deductible even with substantial medical expenses, for example, $ 1,500 Deductible, I am in High Deductible because I think it makes sense to pay a higher premium of $ 1,200 per year to reduce 1,500 Deductible to zero.

I think there are other Benefit for High Deductible other than Deductible, but...

Now I regret a little that I should have taken ( Drug separately ) Advantage for about $ 10 per month, but I cannot change it.

At any rate, you should check what your current plan is and consider what to do when you renew in October.

What do you mean by schooling in the waitressing business? Most people learn on the job.
Topi says she wants to work about 2 times a week, but she is going to school to study?
If you're going to go that far, then you're an experienced waitress who went to school to learn the trade, right?
Can you give me the name of that school?
And tell me which restaurant you worked at.

It's normal to be apprehensive at first about anything.
I'm the same way.

You'll get an hourly wage ( probably a minium ) even during training. I believe it starts out with no tip, and the % of the tip gradually increases according to your ability. This is usually decided by the head waitress.

The length of time depends on the store and your ability, so it is hard to say, but I think you can expect about 1 ~ 2 months. During the training ( you are not in the ) headcount unless there is something wrong with you, so you will get used to the store and your training will be over quickly if you try to spend as many days in the store as possible.

In an office, the ladies gossip, talk behind your back, and complain … It's an eternal loop. If I don't attend the wasteful gossip meetings, people say "she doesn't socialize well" or "she's so strange" lol.

As the title says.
In Japan, "triangular eating" is considered good eating manners,
while "batch eating" is considered bad.

Even if Americans order a set meal or a bento box at a Japanese restaurant,
many of them eat a lot of food without seasoning their mouths = ?
except for Americans who are married to Japanese people or pro-Japanese, who have nothing to do with Japan. How about ?
