The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

This is the problem I have with all the AI- doomsayers.
There is A TON wrong with how tech companies are training AI models and launching AI to the public.
But there is so much that is and can be valuable about it - with regulation and funding the people doing good.

You are either legal or not. There is no such thing as “barely legal.” A fully grown man “liking” teen girls as a category is a sign of someone who thinks the rules don’t apply to them.
