My fav experience was IL taking its sweet time to recertify me for medicaid so I signed up for a shite bronze plan for january then the following year the IRS tried to ding me for the $750 subsidy the feds paid aetna.

bc people who are medicaid-poor have hundreds on hand with which to pay back the feds for their blood money to insurers.

i switched to employer health care recently from ACA and can't actually figure out how to get my kid off the auto-enrolled CHIP. the ACA site just does not contemplate it. i should probably call someone at the state, but who?

its such an amazing system. even better is my employer is out of state so there was a ton of panic on my end about whether their out of state only options would even work (they say yes, i havent been to a doctor to find out)

how about the actual numbers instead of just the predictions



economy added fewer jobs than expected, which makes Capital happy, but unemployment unexpectedly ticked down, as did average workweek hours, while labor force participation rate increased.

so everyone's working more jobs but fewer hour, i.e. gig/contract economy?

I recently had to do this for myself when switching to contract work and jesus christ it was a loving confusing process. And then when we finally did settle on a provider the actual price was still different than the ACA website showed and the insurance provider, one we had for years anyway made us go through a totally different web portal to pay for everything vs the normal site where we do our copays and poo poo anyway.

Also we don't really know what we are paying because we don't know what tax benefits we will get until everything settles with taxes bc i dont know if i crossed a threshhold or not.

Every plan below platinum is trash and lol that poo poo is 1000 bucks a month and still not accepted by the majority of medical professionals.

Also shared: crashes and road-rage incidents. One crash video in 2021 showed a Tesla driving at high speed in a residential area hitting a child riding a bike, according to another ex-employee. The child flew in one direction, the bike in another. The video spread around a Tesla office in San Mateo, California, via private one-on-one chats, “like wildfire,” the ex-employee said.”

Yep. I make well above the median income for my (already high income) area and I basically don't have healthcare lmao

Once something seriously goes wrong with my health I'm going to become one of those people who just shove every imaginable bit of healthcare into a single year since my OOP costs will be pegged anyway

He (xi) is not wrong

American climate policy is a shining example of this

Our inability to balance competing ideologies in a way that does not lead them to cannibalize each other is one of the major weaknesses of our political system. When we actually get climate reform laws in the USA theyre generally nothingburgers or protectionist garbage meant to keep a sector uncompetitive.

People will never fall behind climate answers whose ultimate end is "mass starvation and depopulation" so degrowth to achieve climate ends isnt a viable ideology. It might be a correct one, objectively, but good luck executing it without a revolution.

Granted, you could also say sometimes you need some ecological damage to address climate change, China has some massive dams powering it and without question they did environment damage but would it have been better if 6 coal plants had been built instead?

Yep, same goes for nuclear power - you must accept occasional devastation as a cost of existing, climate policy should always keep this in mind and try to be moving towards the lowest overall environmental cost for growth. We have stuck with coal to our detriment for decades and it has been a complete disaster for the environment, all to avoid the potential Chernobyl that would have ultimately polluted less

I even see it happening in local politics here: a neighboring city wants to build up its bike infrastructure by 2030 so the conservatives are calling that "too radical" and proposing we build even more kilometers of bike lanes but by 2050 instead lmao

Yeah, and China seems to be going whole hog on nuclear power as well. If China wants to become a fully developed country there isn’t really a way around it even with the progress they have made. China also has a much of solar and wind power but it isn’t enough and they also have their own issues.

to confront climate change two systems have to be addressed and both must be made stable. The climate and the economy. if either is unstable, that’s a failure state because it will destabilize the other one.
