Like, it's a net gain. You no longer have to put into your employer's healthcare, you don't have to pay for your own plan, and your taxes aren't going to increase by as much as your old plan's cost.
Governments may be incompetent, but they're not incentivized to cut corners and costs.

Now we see the filthy rich Mark Cuban appear. He stands to lose profit from his drug business and investments so he's pulling out all the Republican propaganda.
Socialized Medicine works everywhere else.
Yeah, taxes go up, but your insurance payments go down, and everyone is covered.

What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?

R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?

Day 29!
I love Stardew Valley and think it's a better "game" at the moment, but Fields of Mistria just has a much better cast of characters. It's not done yet and won't be until next year, so it still feels like it's missing content.
But the characters run laps around SDV's.

BORING: Assigning "levels of canon" to Star Wars media.
NOT BORING: Construing all Star Wars media as variously motivated propaganda which actually exists in some notional Star Wars universe, often only tenuously related to real events, and loudly speculating about what "really happened".

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar
new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

A game that has been canceled for Day 28, and it could only be Starcraft: Ghost.
I was *stoked* when this was announced. It turned out to be my teenage self's first experience with the downsides of the industry.
It still has so much potential; it's a shame it's been left on the wayside.

Day 27: Helldivers 2.
I've already plugged Darktide and Halo, but this is still one of my very favorite co-op games, and it's simply because of the chaos. Having friendly fire be on and giving lots of extra lives means getting blown up by your buddy's airstrike is funny instead of frustrating.

Day 26: Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
Fire Emblem in general, really. For me, the turn-based tactics take a back seat to playing matchmaker. I love turning my ragtag group of misfits into demigods, but that's not as important as making cute couples out of everyone.
Also, Edelgard did nothing wrong.

Name a voice actor who you think has an iconic voice.
Gotta go with the late, great Tony Jay. He didn't need to have range; his distinctive voice is instantly recognizable. It oozes power and authority, making him a perfect fit for many iconic villains.

Halo: Reach was absolutely sublime from beginning to end, and I played a ton of this game's multiplayer. What I wouldn't give to go back in time and play it again for the first time during its heyday.
This was peak Halo.

Personally, my take on this is that the CFP is trying to nudge Notre Dame into properly joining a conference so that they can play in a championship game.
They're still better than Alabama, though.
