@raisingpatriots @katyusharocket1 @CollinRugg So, when your grandparents die, YOU are going to house him & feed him & take care of him for the rest of his life? Use your home and resources? Take care of him when he gets Alzheimer's or leukemia?
Just to be clear, you are committing to this?

@10milesTillE @MattWalshBlog Ok, let's play that game. Let's see if they get "punished" or "rewarded" by the all-mighty.
The answer is probably going to surprise you.

@US_FDA approved something INHALED into children's lungs after studying it in ONLY 230 patients. & they were allowed to exclude a "non-compliant" patient? (Umm, ma'am, that counts in TD1) Afrezza Inhaled Insulin Gains FDA Approval for Pediatric Patients https://t.co/7igR6DmVDH

@TubelessTires @Mr_Husky1 Yes, it certainly may be worth those HUGE economic costs.
Now, what if we had a government who would pay you to stay home for at least the first year of that? Wouldn't that be awesome? And if you had your kids close in age, you would be paid a bunch of money (almost) up front

@queenathenah Did you look on petfinders? There a literally hundreds of pittie pups.

@TubelessTires @Mr_Husky1 Your daycare # is using the wrong denominator.
If you work 40h/wk you make $40,000 (highmin wage state)
So that single baby is COSTING you $40,000/year. Let's ignore taxes, bc is it costing you in paying into SocSec, so later: SOL. Also, no investing on $ you don't have. Complex

@Smariam1984 @BornInTheU43614 @ashleyschendel In my municipality (in NY) there are separate taxes: (county) property taxes and school taxes. Public schools are REALLY good& teachers paid well!! Our roads are good (but $$$ to maintain/repair with all the snow/ice) and our emergency services are fantastic!!

@the_hidden_coin @chris_simoneau @EV_Trapper How much of a mortgage? She isn't really "leaving" anything if it is fully mortgaged. Conversely, if there is little mortgage with near total equity, that has true value.

[laura staff @docstaff]

@the_hidden_coin @clbittner @EV_Trapper So why complain, and why make it sound like it's a hardship?

[laura staff @docstaff]

@EV_Trapper SHE HAS 6 CHILDREN AND AT LEAST ONE SUCCESSFUL GRANDCHILD...
But she is living alone and no one is helping her pay her bills or help her fix/maintain her home?? You are letting her live in a house that is falling apart?

I don't think this is the flex you think it is.

@AstraZenecaUS You really want us to think this is Kylie, age 19?? & not an "AI version" of a person living with NF1?
Do people with NF1 feel offended by this depiction? You should PAY a real patient w/NF1 to be your "poster girl"; @$260,000/yr treatmentcost, you can afford to.

@RobertsPublish1 @mattvanswol She probably doesn't know how to swim and wisely stayed put.

@MissBeck12 @doqholliday So, you want them to sell their house, buy another and not leave you anything? Sure you do.

[laura staff @docstaff]

@MissBeck12 @doqholliday Did you inherit two homes and now you are bitching that you had to clean them out??!!!

[laura staff @docstaff]

@MeghanMcCain (THEY'RE.
BIN LADEN.)
Also, is that last sentence direct address?? If so, good job with the comma!
