- Comment on I need new glasses. The only insurance-approved place I can shop online will cost $250 with my needs. I went to a "cheap" glasses website that doesn't accept insurance: $250. Yay, America. 4 months ago:
If you have Costco membership, their optical department is pretty affordable. Frames are $50-80. Lenses another $80 or so, but depends on complexity and of you get transitions and whatnot.

Plazma (Lane) Biscuits, 600g a.co/d/2zIZ29U
They are have some vitamins and iron, not too much fat or sugar, but still taste great. There is also a ground version that can be eaten with milk, kind of like a sweet porridge - but better.

- Comment on US Question. Will the people that have to wait until 70 to get Social Security ever get what they paid in to it back out before they die since men's life expectancy is only 77 now? 1 year ago:
They don’t expect to go bankrupt by 2033. That’s when the surplus/reserves will run out. The system doesn’t have the fixed amount of money. Current employees are constantly paying into it.
20% is the shortfall between payout vs people paying in. And it will only happen if it’s not addressed. Which I’m sure will get addressed last minute or something like that.

It’s not right now, that’s true. Both sides are moving more extreme and away from a peaceful solution. But was historically Arabs were far less open to the idea of two state solution. Starting with the partition plan of 1947.

Israel proposed/accepted/was in favor of two state solution multiple times throughout history. It was Palestinians who rejected it.
