Ask any retail manager or food manager what they do when holidays come up

According to RC, stores dont do that, so when you go into buy presents, there isnt enough there.. and thats why healthcare.gov shut down..

its Wal Marts fault..

Don't know much about retail management, do you? Except stores that don't sell items that sell higher at Christmas, like a feed store, every decision is made with Christmas sales in mind. From Thanksgiving to Christmas represents between 19-38% of most stores annual sales total.

i signed up and already have my medica card.

my new job has medical insurance after 90 days, but im not using it. since i was unemployed when i applied for obamacare don't have to pay anything.

Just like stores don't build a store TEN TIMES AS BIG just so it can handle a high volume of shoppers on the day before Christmas.

Lol, yeah, they were worried about cost concerns. That's why they held down the expenses to a mere half billion (and then who knows how many more hundreds of millions since October).

Just the website part of this disaster has run hundreds of millions over budget, and that's just one small part of this law.

Not to the IRS.GOV website.

I have never witnessed such catastrophe events at the Post office here on planet earth.

Does the post office crash? Isnt it government run as well? So now you are posting examples of inefficient government on a massive scale.

So you are saying that you've NEVER seen a long line of people inside a store waiting to pay on the day before Christmas?

I will ask you the same question ... which planet do YOU live on?

LOL exactly what i was thinking .. Typical liberal tho , steal and be greedy for himself but demand middle class and the rich to give handouts and support the poor.
