Four minutes of reading up on this would give Cuban all the answers he seeks. Yes, I would gladly be taxed 8–12% more to spend 30–40% less of my income on medical expenses.

Elon Musk is furious that people who were not born in America are able to cast a vote in American elections.
I wonder what his attitude is about people who were not born in America but spend billions of dollars influencing American elections.

Let me just say: I have run more than a dozen marathons and an ultramarathon and I have worked 13-hour days in a cornfield in the scorching-ass sun, and none of those things broke me like breastfeeding.

As with everything he says, this is wildly uninformed. Formula keeps getting better and saves lives. And modern research indicates that outcomes are roughly the same. There are reasons to breastfeed but your child isn’t suffering if you don’t

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.
Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

I love girl math.
Our dryer broke, bought a new one, fixed the broken one, and returned the new one.
So my wife says, “girl math says we now have enough money for a Switch 2.”

Getting accommodations should be an easy process. Fast and easy and simple requiring zero documentation. Just ask and get it. Or have a third party ask for you and get it.
It's basically impossible to get an IEP if you have a disabled kid who is currently getting good grades, so you have to wait until the grades start falling to get necessary accommodation. 🙃
Once again, no one making these claims seems to understand the enormous hurdles in the way of getting a kid the help they need - in this case - I dare anyone suggesting this to go through an IEP process.

Can you imagine how classroom funding would change if we went to Medicare for all?
The amount of money districts have to spend on insurance takes money out of the classrooms.
The savings would be able to shrink class sizes to something reasonable.
