Epic Georgia Floods

I was considering the recent floods in Georgia this week and the AJC article that claimed this was a 500-year flood. I'm wondering if the world's temperature continues to rise, with a 6.3 degree increase forecast by the end of the century , will this flood be considered a 10-year flood. Something to mull over and consider how we live our lives today.

Family Health Premiums: $13,375 a Year

According to this story in the South Florida Business Journal , employer-sponsored family health insurance premiums are $13,375 per year, with employees paying $3,515 and employers paying $9,860, on average. This is just one cost of the status quo health care system in the US. God, no wonder the insurance execs are making salaries in the tens of millions a year. This is obscene and morally wrong.
