I missed a bullet point: - Paul Ryan sobs silently into his copy of Atlas Shrugged https://twitter.com/TeddyDavisCNN/status/878962380742553600 In terms of actual policy, the Senate bill cuts the hell out of Medicaid. So, the administration's response has been to send HHS Secretary Price and Kellyanne Conway to literally say "this bill does not cut medicaid". Basically, all administration officials on TV have given up trying to convince other people and are only trying to convince one person.

I'm surprised more Republican senators aren't trying to use their votes to extort favors from McConnell.

BigDave posted:I'm surprised more Republican senators aren't trying to use their votes to extort more favors from McConnell. That's exactly what they ARE doing! That's why only one Republican Senator has come out as a squishy-but-firm no. All of the other Republicans are whining about the process, but when pressed, they'll say poo poo like "I want to get to yes" or "I have serious concerns with the bill as it stands now". Everyone's mostly holding tight for the CBO score tomorrow, then they'll complain about the numbers for another day, then magically there will be low-grade "fixes" to the bill through the week proposed by those waffling senators.

Right, but whats surprising is that the GOP isn't holding out more. Their should be 50 senators blowing up McConnell's phone asking for X, Y and Z. I thought they wouldn't be this organized, is my point.

He doesn't have to because he just told the House to do it and they are already in the process of doing so. Notice how its been delayed? They are trying to rewrite it or at least remove the language that prevents Trump from being able to repeal them with out congressional approval.

I think these women are being lured by chatroom dudes coming on to them, not by the promise of glorious jihad Not sure if I have a real nuanced take on this.

If you go to the effort of moving to a whole new country to join a bloodthirsty, murderous, rape-fuelled extremist caliphate then are you really a victim? I really try to make efforts to see things from other people's eyes and sympathise and poo poo, but at some point I'm just like, gently caress it.

I fully expect that I'm going to drop dead working, SS will be gone completely, or the age to start drawing it is going to be like 75, so that's out. Pretty much guarantee another housing crisis is coming in the next decade, realistically 2-3 years. Also I'm pretty sure my nest egg is going to end up being spent on end of life care for my parents. Hopefully I can do something fun in the next 40 years to justify it.

Retirement ended with Boomers. Everyone else gets crippling debt and death in poverty by medical bills or working until they drop dead instantly, saving them the previous outcome.

At the rate we're going we're either having socialism or fascism by the time I retire, so I should really diversify into armaments, beans, and property in a less dangerous country.
