No one outside of NYC gives a poo poo about the mayoral race. On the other hand, the Iowa caucus sets the media narrative for who gets the most favorable media coverage going into the next round of primaries (and, by extension, who gets ignored as an also-ran loser).

I honestly think health insurance history has a major influence on people's politics. People who got a job with great insurance right out of college have no fuckin idea.

I got a job with great health insurance right out of college, literally my first day was 3 weeks after I graduated.

Unfortunately a few years later my current wife (then girlfriend who I was living with) had poo poo insurance from her school while she was waitressing part time. And one month they decided to jack up the monthly premium almost triple so we bumped up our wedding plans over a year so she could get basic care and not cost her a fortune out pocket.

Seeing that new monthly premium was definetly a “wtf is this bullshit?” Moment for me

The problem is they're going to trample on a whole lot of rights attempting to enforce it. Imagine stop and frisk, but they steal your phone/laptop. Or the cops deciding to confiscate all of the donated laptops from a high school in a disadvantaged area because they "suspect" that someone downloaded a blueprint.

Oh for sure, man.

I was just looking at a cbo report the other day on the uninsured.



and what's notable--aside from the jaw-dropping stat of 32 million of americans being uninsured more than a decade after the aca was passed to address the then-47 million of americans who were uninsured--is that the biggest chunk of the uninsured are those who are eligible for employer-sponsored insurance and yet have passed.

dems pretend that the biggest barrier to coverage is chud states rejecting expanded medicaid, but it's actually lower-wage workers who can't afford it or don't see its utility given out-of-pocket costs.

the second that ranked choice voting made the race even appear remotely close he started crying about discrepancies and stolen elections.

It's just confusing because the entire media has been saying for six months that even daring to think about questioning an election is what nazis do. Why would you ever question an American election? Only loving conspiracy theorist white supremacists want investigations into LEGITAMITE ELECTIONS WITH NO WIDESPREAD CLAIMS OF VOTER FRAUD.

Yeah pretty much all my coworkers who did w-2 short term work with me just turn down employer insurance. It's high deductible and when the month project ends you're on cobra , I think. Better off just doing ACA plans, but everyone single skips those too because they earn too much for subsidies (well, maybe not with the new formulas) and why bother at that point
