November 1st 2025 will be a day remembered with horror in US history: stripping working people of their access to food and healthcare on the very same day while the government remains shut down ad infinitum and the mad king builds a bunker beneath his gilded ballroom

“enhanced subsidies that make insurance premiums cheaper for about 22 million of the 24 million Americans who buy insurance over the ACA exchanges.
Recipients’ health premiums are set to increase by 114% in 2026, on average, without the enhanced subsidies“

Millions face 'huge sticker shock' when ACA open enrollment starts Nov. 1

Millions of households logging on to enroll in a health plan via the Affordable Care Act marketplace will see much higher premiums.

if you believe that a better world is possible, you may be tarred as a doomer, because achieving a better world involves calling attention to what is wrong with this one.

your very optimism is called pessimism, particularly by people for whom the current world is more than comfortable.

I love to see stuff like this because it helps explain to people trapped in tech-sponsored information bubbles the actually obvious fact that universities teach people to know & think things, and AI is a way to produce the effect of knowing & thinking things w/o actually knowing & thinking them.

adolescents crushing on adults is developmentally normal, adults thirsty for adolescents are predators
