I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

THE INCOME CAP IS ALREADY ABOUT TO DROP TOO LOW AND ACA SUBSIDIES ARE ALREADY PROHIBITED FROM COVERING ABORTIONS.

And ACA enrollees can ALREADY put money into HSAs to pay for medical expenses, so unless they’re talking about increasing the limit or allowing them to be used for premiums I don’t understand what this would mean. And again, that’s useless for lower-income households who don’t have $ to set aside.

Yes, and one of the arguments for the ACA is that it would enable people to start businesses because they wouldn’t be chained to a job and its health insurance. Cassidy’s plan is anti-entrepreneurial, pro job lock.

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand.
Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration the liberation of Paris.

As much as I enjoy the film version, I agree with Alan Moore that it very much missed the point. It was a post-911 American liberal fantasy based on an extremely British book that was very much about anarchism.
I’m worried that this series will do exactly the same thing but just… take longer.

This is true.
It's the far-left radical DSA who is trashing Chuck Schumer. The same people who were trashing Biden and Harris in 2024, Urging voters to vote against them and voter for Trump and Jill Stein.

What leverage? What power do they have? What part of the government do they control? Big problem with people about this topic is they're SAYING THINGS. But they're not true and it's laughable that they're so far gone in confusion with this that they think the crazy things they're saying are true.
Neither do the Democrats, if you keep handing away the leverage you have for empty promises from the Republicans. At this point we KNOW what they are. Y'all do not

A big problem with the discourse over Democrats caving is that people are ascribing leverage to Dems that they simply did not actually have.
Yes, they were winning handily in the court of public opinion, but so what? Republicans didn't care, they're fascists ffs, they don't care about the people.

"Oh but people were actually starting to wake up! The Democrats won big at the special elections!" Yup, and unfortunately zero US Senate seats were up for grabs last Tuesday, so that meant nothing to the GOP.

SO, a 15 yr. car loan for a product that starts to depreciate almost as soon as you drive it off the lot. Do I have that correct or is there some multi dimensional chess to this?

The Dem leverage is they have all the hostages the GOP wants to kill under the big tent. The Dems can continue to serve up hostage after hostage for the GOP to gleefully massacre.
Some people fail to understand the GOP has no soul or empathy. They will watch people die just for a tax cut.
