right now you have to make no more than $8.50/hour at 40 hrs/week to qualify for expanded medicaid. weird how the standard insurance deductible has gone up to $8k/year while the federal poverty level, and the medicaid threshold on which it's based, have barely nudged.

Willa Rogers posted:it's gonna be funny if the minimum wage increase makes it so that those working 30 hours/week lose their medicaid eligibility & are forced to purchase crappy obamacare policies under the threat of a financial penalty equal to the premiums of the crap insurance. ugh, i think we already know the answer to that.

Vox Nihili posted:Raising the minimum wage is one of the few positive things he might actually do. It's basically that and whatever comes of the tax plan. I look forward to the dems proposing a bill to raise the minimum wage to $12.50 an hour over the course of the next five years and for it to fail in the senate because a conservative democrat votes against it.

I'm self-employed and when I passed the medicaid limit last year I called to tell the state I was now making too much to be on medicaid and they were stunned that I was self-reporting. but I didn't want to be audited a year later and have to pay back any money, and I couldn't find a definitive source that said I wouldn't, because they're not gonna make that info easily accessible.

Kill for gain or shoot to maim But we don't need a reason The Golden Goose is on the loose And never out of season Blackened pride still burns inside This shell of bloody treason Here's my gun for a barrel of fun For the love of living death The killer's breed or the demon's seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain Don't you pray for my soul anymore Two minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom Two minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb

I'm in Canada...had a team call this afternoon and us politics came up, all of the 7 people on the call discussed how Joe Biden can't make 4 years and kamala was put there by the power brokers to take over. I said nothing, won't discuss politics are work for the record. And it got me thinking how crazy it is that probably everybody knows this but won't recognize how crazy that is. Nobody likes her. They picked her as VP and immediately started hiding her (except for the attempt at "she wears CHUCKS") more than they do Joe Biden, who visibly has dementia and can't campaign actively, because nobody likes her. But like nobody is even discussing that beyond bland succ slay Kween stuff Happy Friday cspam

I just read this rage inducing article where the leader of Democrats Abroad here claims that she's proud of helping build the most progressive platform ever. This lady has lived here for 21 years, with the benefit of a fantastic medical system that's free, quick, and easy to use. And she's bragging about the Democratic platform. This means tested bullshit that's not going to help anyone. What the hell is wrong with these people?

Biden was a dipshit who kept trying to be on the cutting edge of neoliberal policymaking, was best buds with segregationists, and was only chosen specifically to assuage fears that Obama would be some sort of black radical. He was really the forerunner of "amoral, neoliberal politician picked to do the bidding of corporate America and punch left." And he did all of this to try to become President. Unfortunately for him - and fortunately for America - he kept being exposed as a dumbass and fell flat on his face despite desperately trying to be Jack loving Kennedy like his very being depended on it. As Vice President, everyone in Obama's circle ignored him and thought he was a moron. In popular culture, The Onion turned him into some sort of cool grandpa when he was always a hotheaded frat dumbass. What started as an obvious and clear parody of how milquetoast and poo poo he was, somehow this actually caught on through sheer repetition. He looked "good" going up against two of the dumbest vice presidential picks in American history, Palin and Ryan, which further burnished his reputation. Now he's somehow America's moral conscience, which is an absolute joke. Everyone (liberals in NYC and DC) talks about how he's the uniter we need, a blue collar guy, the light in the darkness, the next FDR?, and a bunch of other insanely myopic, inane commentary. I think it goes far beyond just being a comparison to Trump, because this is the first nominee in modern history whose entire assumed personality was foisted upon him by the media after his own attempts at crafting one failed.
