I live in the Inland Empire and work in Irvine and sometimes I just want to kill myself.

A drive like that, I want to kill myself.

Which welfare scam are you talking about? 10 million people in so-cal living off water from the rest of the state (and other states)?

He's referring to the water-rights. Ya know, the thing chinatown is about.

Also, Chicago isn't in the top three. Granted, I've never been over there, but I hear people from around here in San Francisco rave all the time about how it's second only to New York.

Yeah, its pretty loving awesome. That poo poo goes everywhere.

In other California news, there's this: Covered California is the new Obamacare health care plan marketplace for California citizens. I spent a little time looking through it today. Seems that if you qualify, you can get pretty decent individual health insurance from several different providers for very good prices. And if you're poor (like my unemployed brother), it's heavily subsidized. I think given his income (less than 150% of the poverty level) he can probably get a decent "silver" plan for under $60 a month after subsidy, which is fantastic.

It is blindingly obvious, looking over the example rates, that this is lowering the cost of health insurance for most people.

You can start looking at plans now, they go on sale October, and everyone has to have health insurance starting January 1st.

My job gives a terrible plan compared to the gold/bronze. Is there any way I can inform the IRS that i'm not going to be using my work insurance so they don't get the 2000/person credit card-thing-credit? Nobody uses it due to the insane restrictions on them.

How do I show my income as a freelance filmmaker on the Covered CA form? Half my jobs are payroll from different companies, and the other half are 1099 invoice jobs.

Do you do a lot of work? What are the barriers preventing you from joining the trade? Union dues? Specific type of work?

If there is anything this state is good for is film industry benefits via the various unions.
