imagine explaining a $1.3 million bill for medical care to somebody who lives in a country where people aren't required to do things like ration their insulin.

ACA being better than what we had before is a different statement than saying it is a good and durable health care policy regime

Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again?

I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale.

That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA?

A giant stack of papers, about 1/2 the size of an apple, on a counter.

speaking of the ACA, I'm so old I can remember when Joe Lieberman killed the public option, and Ezra Klein accused him of being "willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to settle an old electoral score," and the entire DC media fainted simultaneously

I think I read this in a @anandwrites.bsky.social book, and I think about it all the time: if one side wants pizza and the other side wants bagels, you don’t make pizza bagels. Then everyone is disappointed.

Wild that they come out with this after a huge weekend of protests where supposedly milquetoast liberals got real stoked on some pretty left talking points

If you want to know what's wrong with the paper there it is. If you want to know why what's wrong with the paper isn't wrong with certain sections in which these people are less involved, there it also is.

Like this so obviously calls for a needlessly elaborate caper involving a way-too large crew of the top specialists in an unreasonable number of obscure fields, an intricate map of the facility where it's being held, a Hollywood level costume budget, and, obviously, a tunnel.

strongly against kinkshaming but with this small caveat

@iniquin402

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

I have only bought, and will only buy, Dead Kennedys records and merch second hand because I think the court decision stripping Jello Biafra of any rights to the music legally is too extreme and it’s gross that the other guys try to continue to profit from his work while excluding him.
