My Suzuki takes about $41ish dollars to fill from empty... ( Great But it is about to go off the road for repairs for a while )
So will have to fuel my 1800 Legacy that is completly empty
Not looking forward to filling it. Havnt fueled it since the after the Sept earthquake.

not the full picture buddy! there are so many wronge things in the middle east. Yes fuel is cheap but better pay attention to other things or you gonna feel so sorry for your self! even for a regular arab my self I have to know where I should go and where should not
Maybe you don't see the news, but the gov/royal family gets 90% of the whole profits and share the other 10% with the people!

Well here in Canada we use CA cause... no one cares about California

I will change it though, because it does make more sense. And thank you for pointing that out for me.

As for medical, I don't see whats so hard to deal with. I walk into the doctor he says "you need x-rays" and gives me a piece of paper and I walk out without taking out my wallet. I would then proceed to go to the hospital / clinic that has the x-ray machine and wait 10-30 min for my turn, get my x-ray done and leave without taking my wallet out And get a call from my doctor about 45 min later with recommendations.

This was from March 3rd.

Yeah, we'd be paying that, or near it, here in the U.S. if we could tap our natural fossil reserves that are being cock-blocked by a guy named Tree-antler and his earthmate Moonchild.

I know it's annoying but thanks for being understanding . CAN makes more sense, I was guessing what we use for Canada anyway . Although now I'm thinking of CAN bus .

That story doesn't feel complete . It feel like you're leaving out the amount of paperwork, how long you sat in the waiting room, and how much the whole ordeal actually cost(not just whether you had any out-of-pocket expenses . The whole contry pays for it in gasoline taxes so if it works smoothly all the better.

0 paper work. Waiting room depends on what clinic you go to, and if you made an appointment (if you break a bone, who fucking cares about appoints though).

My hospitals emergency is slow as shit though, no idea why. You can be the only one in Emergency and it can take them up to an hour to say "your next". "NEXT? I WAS THE ONLY ONE HERE BITCH!"

Though when I crashed my car and had to go in for a check up I was in and out of the hospital emergency in 30 minutes. So it depends heavily.

The whole ordeal literally costs me $60.50 a month, or if you are employed then half of that. All my medical is covered for my entire life based off that 30.25/mo (because I'm employed) and then you get your life insurance and other medical benefits from your job as well (optional of course). I never see "bills" from doctors, and never have to take my wallet out to pay someone when services are rendered. I just pay the monthly bill.
