Look what Whole Foods offers Canadian employees for health care
Damn it must be nice to live in ANY of the other 1st world nations on this planet.

I ventured on the Whole Foods Canada employment site and found the benefits list for Canadian employees. For health care:

Extended Health Care in addition to Provincial Health Care (mandatory)
•Eligibility: Full-time team members after three months of service
•Reimbursement: 100% hospital & emergency out of country, 80% all other expenses
•Drugs: Prepaid Rx card, brand and generic drugs covered
•Out-of-Province Coverage: Included


Damn that makes us look like shit. Employers don't have to offer health care IN CANADA. So instead they cover medical expenses OUTSIDE of Canada as a benefit. Such as nations like ours with shit health care.

4. When you look at some of the banking practices, there are third world countries that don't allow
a lot of the trickery and financial sleight of hand that goes on here in the US.

7. they only care about the money...for re-election
I think term limits will now be in order for the senate

if 2 terms is good enough for a President, it should be more than enough for a senator.
