"Scorpion and the Frog

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion
says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

"The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"

Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature...""

- the story of my party

but because the scorpion was independently wealthy from the privatization of numerous social programs that previously provided a safety net for the disadvantaged, and thanks to a few well placed donations with some high ranking government officials, the scorpion was plucked from the back of the sinking frog by a bald eagle that he paid to follow him and monitor him from the air 24/7. he could have just had the eagle fly him over the river in the first place, but he enjoyed making time to personally twist his stinger into the backs of those he oppressed.

Well at least they aren't suffering the indignity of having to work rural renewable energy projects instead. TRUMP!
Yeah, about that ...

Roughly 40 miles west of those two power plants in the article is a thing called Zimmer Power Station. It was built in the late 70s / early 80s to be a nuclear power plant. Around 1983-ish they found that it was so poorly designed and constructed that it would never work. So they turned it into a coal-fired plant.

Bonus lol, the Zimmer plant is in a small town called Moscow.

Well, Messina, a former aide to Montana Senator Max Baucus, served as Deputy White House Chief of Staff for Operations under President Obama where he became the unofficial enforcer for the neoliberal elements within the administration. He was a key player in ensuring the Affordable Care Act included neither a single-payer plan or even a public option.

i said that, over a week ago, and its held up drat well. even i wasn't expecting the gop to just give up on repealing the aca two months in, after 7 years of promises.

now that universal healthcare is an accepted goal, and with republicans harping about insurers pulling out of unprofitable markets, medicare for all can be added next time dems have full control, and it will be very popular with blue collar white voters in middle america. if the trump presidency keeps going at this rate, that could happen as early as 2020.
