Agreed. She has real juice and she knows what she's doing. That said, I'm having trouble seeing the play.

The Trump Economy
PLease don't take offense, but I'm going to repost the exact thing I said before, which you quoted, and put some things in bold. Forcing the entire working population into solutions optimized for "the poor" is a huge problem for the Democratic party in general and was (along with fealty to employer groups) the primary reason they couldn't get ever get healthcare right, not Republican opposition. I said: "It's worse than that. Americans buy the wrong insurance for everything. People should be choosing the highest deductible plans they can afford, because the more they insure, the less they get for their premiums. The worst aspect of ACA is that it eliminated catastrophic-only HDHPs and required all plans to cover this huge range of routine, predictable expenses you should be using an HSA for. Most people at professional income levels do not need vaccinations, routine checkups, or even generic and low cost meds to be "free", but I'm forced to prepay for those things with insurance, which is just a handout for the carriers and PBMs." Insurance is a risk management product. It is simply dumb to require people who CAN afford the group discounted out of pocket cost of routine, predictable events to prepay for them through a middle man. It's like using car insurance to pay for oil changes and tire rotations. The entire point I was making is that people who don't need to pay for things like flu shots on a biweekly installment plan (which is what our healthcare plans make us do) shouldn't have to.

Honestly it sounds like her employer didn't shop very well, but that aside - HDHPs are required to cover a lot more than they should so the difference is much smaller than it used to be.

Great stuff. off topic, but I read that about the advertisers and clicked through to the Variety article, which contains this line: Yeah that's not how plants work, Hollywood.

This isn’t the worst of them either: infinity ag 1:23p In reply to Bucketrunner Dems will sell out the country and bring in 100000000000000000 trashy people form sheethole countries. NO. I'd rather have a classless President who mostly does what needs to be done. Besides, it is fun to read the squealing from other countries when he squeezes their balls on tariffs, visas etc!

I doubt it. This is the classic behavior of a true believer when the scales fall from their eyes.

I don’t think so. I think they’ll win 67 plus games unless they have horrible luck. It’s one of the best teams I’ve ever seen even if the game was called straight and on top of that have a sixth man on the floor at all times.

Not establishing a robust public education system was one of the primary grievances listed in Texas’ Declaration of Independence from Mexico.- Shooting at Brown University
Not to single you out but one of the sad/tragic ironies of the gun violence “debate” between political progressives and political reactionaries is that neither of them are willing to willing to politically confront the *causes* of gun violence in ways that would actually reduce gun violence. Sure all the dems will go around finger wagging about the assault weapons and “the next mass shooting,” for a few days each time, but in between you only rarely hear a thing from them about the 25-30k people who will die of a self-inflicted gunshot wound this year. That’s not a priority. Republicans are worse than Democrats in part because they want to make the problem worse, but neither party takes a more serious approach than the other towards prevention. It’s one of the reasons I can’t call myself a Democrat anymore. They aren’t just politically incompetent, they are also completely unserious about addressing the actual causes behind many of the problem they (unsuccessfully) burn political capital to fix. I’m sorry this happened at Brown. I’ll be sorry about the next time too. Our politics are broken and nobody cares. Thoughts and prayers, as the saying goes.

OKC fans are whinier than Celtics fans, dorkier than Spurs fans and bigger front runners than Laker fans, with the global footprint Jazz fans. It’s truly incredible.- NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
