Hosting a foreign airbase on American soil is absurd. I think we have trained foreign pilots here before, but not this. I don’t understand the reasoning behind this move.

R.I.P. Diane Keaton. One of my favorite actors. She was such a joy to watch.

Yes - exactly. I’m trying to get up to date on everything by the end of the year. I don’t know what will happen with my RX coverage.They could hurt a lot of folks too by making meds unaffordable because of lower coverage and higher prices due to tariffs. Nobody knows- that is the frightening part.

An older lady said this to me Thursday in the waiting room while we were waiting for our mammograms.

Sharing a gift article from The NY Times. No matter how you spin it, this doesn’t bode well for us if there is an impending pandemic. Look at the list of who was laid off in the article.

Not holding my breath yet. His demented late Father Fred held on until age 96. Not sure he will be able to be seen in public once he reaches the pulling sinks off walls behind dead eyes stage though.

Like a kitschy Hitchcockian movie from an alternate universe.

No one said they were going to become legal immigrants by paying taxes. Actually they are as a group more productive than most legal citizens. Illegal immigrants cannot vote.

In NY state indigent care plan is mostly funded by state & local taxes like surcharges on cigarettes. A little does come from the feds. “Illegals” aren’t eligible for Medicaid / Medicare. Many pay taxes without ever being able to access these programs. If you are a Canadian - why do you care?

Vanessa Briscoe Hay @pylongurl.bsky.social · 9d

Each state manages their Medicaid plans. In this case, New York.
