i was going to joke that casting 23 illegal votes was probably decisive for a county board of supervisors election but it turns out he won by a little under 2k votes so that was pointless in edition to being very illegal

https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/13/politics/aca-open-enrollment-deadline obamacare enrollment is up, possibly due to the increased subsidies and lowered premium maximums (from 10% to 8.5%) passed as part of the IRA. those last through 2025 so there is going to be a big fight brewing in a few years about extending the changes or make them permanent. dems better hope the 2024 election goes better for them in the house and senate; at least they didn't have this stuff phase out in an election year and piss everyone off right as they were figuring out who they want to vote for.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:I've never seen House, but from what I have picked up through cultural osmosis it sounds like the writers really reached for the stars with those plot lines and his employer is very irresponsible to keep employing a doctor who is a heroin addict, diagnosed as mentally unstable, refuses to follow accepted medical procedures, and gets into fistfights with cancer patients. its a good and entertaining show right until house goes to the loony bin, in the LMM episode, and it goes off the rails very quickly after that. however if you stop watching at the season finale where house finally goes insane and gets committed its a good way to pretend the show ended.

BRJurgis posted:Yeah it's so frustrating... People frequently talk about moving away from here in the northeast (or even make good on it), to go down south or otherwise to states without as much property or income tax. There is little understanding of the dynamics we're discussing (that spread the tax burden to the masses to the benefit of the rich, nevermind the gutted social services), because of that underlying "inconvenienced millionaire/gubmint taxing me on my stuff" vibe. Usually when you explain that as working class folks they'd be getting hosed, their desire to be in a different class comes to the forefront and they simply identify as somebody who is/would be wealthy if not for their present taxes. its funny when people move to texas expecting a big tax break and get surprised at how high property taxes are

i think it's interesting but unsurprising that four of the five largest states with home ownership disparities in favor of men are dominated by resource extraction. nevada also has a very large mining sector which probably accounts for its place there as well.

cr0y posted:Is there a good reason to think that there aren't other banks that would have the same problem as SVB? (MBSs that underperform based on raising rates?) SVB was somewhat unique in that its client base was startups, who deposit money (good) but don't usually borrow money, as they're being funded by venture capitalists. other banks, hopefully, have a more diversified business and do a lot more lending, which should lower their exposure to bond interest risk.

Queering Wheel posted:Speaking of Florida, they just advanced a bill out of committee to ban transition insurance coverage for all trans people, including adults now, in case anyone still thought it was ever about the kids or sports or whatever the gently caress im curious, does this only apply to florida-regulated insurance plans (which many people, receiving employer coverage, likely do not have) or does it somehow, like, outlaw even federally regulated plans from paying for trans health stuff?

Shooting Blanks posted:Harris County (Houston) routinely has the longest local ballot in the country. The last election here had between 90 and 103 elections to vote on, depending on your specific zip code. it took me like 20 minutes to vote (harris county resident) because there were so many different positions lol. zero time waiting in line, the time spent was entirely on voting.
