Man, I feel a bit ripped off with my Cyberpunk experience. I only get some little glitches, like copies of cigarettes hanging in the air, maybe a little bit of clipping. I want my crazy carnage, dammit.

Riot Carol Danvers posted:Pretty good? Are the people on the verge of eviction gonna get more than 600 bucks? It's absolutely, completely insufficient on the dollar front and the checks-in-people's hands front. But there's also a lot of good poo poo that has been needed even pre-pandemic, like this: https://twitter.com/rachel_roubein/status/1340811481298989056 Lots of vaccine money, education money, rental money, extended unemployment (though halved), an eviction moratorium extension, and backdoor money-to-states funding as well. Considering Republicans were absolutely, completely happy with $0, I call that pretty good. The breakdown, pre-text release, is here: https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1340810117936271361

What exactly is surprise billing? Is it that bullshit where you pay your copay, the insurance pays whatever, and it's been like two months because of insurance paperwork and you end up getting billed a couple hundred bucks because insurance didn't cover everything?

Defenestrategy posted:What exactly is surprise billing? Here's the explanation: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/12/9/21003480/stop-surprise-medical-bills-legislation / https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/an-examination-of-surprise-medical-bills-and-proposals-to-protect-consumers-from-them-3/ It's more about you go to an in-network hospital, for in-network care or an in-network procedure. Then oops, your anesthesiologist was out-of-network, enjoy your $18,000 bill from your insurance for out-of-network care! Congrats, you're hosed. It was on-track to get done a while back, but Richard Neal (D - Massachusetts Insurance Companies) has been loving with things.

600 is better than nothing, but terrible for the people who really need it. I'm guessing we're still going to be hosed on the social security withholding thing.

God I hate our government’s inability to pass a loving budget on time. 70 day CR, then another week’s worth, then 2 days, and then 1 day. Get your poo poo in one sock and stop trying to sneak/demand things until the final hour.

Yup my wife had to fight quite a while to get the insurance to cover an out-of-network attending surgeon. Like - it was an emergency c-section by the in-network pediatrician at an in-network hospital. We didn't have time to verify all 15 people in the room were in-network before delivering my baby who was stressed.

Yesterday there was a demonstration of a few hundred people claiming that Biden stole the election and that trump is the real winner of the election... ...in Osaka, Japan?    "Don't be fooled by the media's lies! The US election is not over yet!" https://twitter.com/visiontimesjp/status/1340576175005990914 About the only "news" outlet I could find covering it was basically the Japanese equivalent to Breitbart, so it's not exactly gaining widespread traction over here, but I guess it goes to show there are people with trump brain worms all over the world. It looks like it's mostly just people that are vehemently opposed to anything and everything China, and trump is louder than Biden, so they automatically assume Biden is a Chinese plant in order to hand them Asia on a silver platter or something.

A bit more on this point from people analyzing the numbers: https://twitter.com/bencasselman/status/1340822704052690944?s=19 https://twitter.com/HarrySteinDC/status/1340876092085821445 We might be paying too much attention to the checks (which hit everyone below $75k) versus the $1200/month (on top of state unemployment benefits) that get to the really hosed. That money did a shitload of good and there's more coming (though it's cut versus the early pandemic). facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Dec 21, 2020 |

These are also being boosted by far right mutual aid. There's a reason alt right figures showed up in HK during the media's focus on the riots. It's to give the appearance of international support for their agenda; find a whackjob in another country that believes the same horseshit as you and spin them look as legit as possible to your less skeptical target audience.

Recently a buddy of mine needed an outpatient procedure that required anesthesia. The specialist and medical office were all in-network. The anesthesiologist doctor listed in the mark-up was actually an "in house", listed on the main website as accepting the insurance, and even showing on the insurance database as in-network. All good to go. Should all be covered, after co-pays, etc. Three weeks after the procedure he gets like a $4500 direct out-of-network bill in the mail from the anesthesiologist. Oh, you see he's a doctor of our practice, and an in-network provider, but when he does anesthesia in the operating room, he actually works for Make You Go-Nite Nite Docs MD LLC and it's not covered by your insurance. surprise!

My wife once got a bill from a hospital pathologist. It was to cover tests they ran. On her heart, kidneys, and liver. To make sure they were okay to transplant. That was definitely a surprise.

Maybe a bit of  but Dominion and the other voting machine companies are considering suing right-wing trash TV into the ground for their repeated false claims, and some First Amendment lawyers seem to think they would have a pretty good case:https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/20/business/media/smartmatic-lawsuit-fox-news-newsmax-oan.html It's long, but the gist is that Fox News could probably survive it, but since Newsmax and OAN are already setting piles of money on fire trying to build viewership it could be the end of the line for them...and it would probably also threaten the likelihood of a Trump TV being created post-inaguration.
