$150,000 is the line? geebus, we've always been below.
We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.

How in the world would I, someone waiting to be seen in the ER notice that "illegal immigrants" are also there? I notice other people, sure, but I can't see their immigration status.
🧵Wait until he sees the lines to get into the ER since his big ugly bill guts the ACA, Medicare and Medicaid. They are making it unfordable and closing rural hospitals. Insurance Companies are deciding their premium increases now. Plus all those they fired won’t have insurance either. ⬇️
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.
Speaks for itself.

All assets from Infowars, the website founded and operated by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, must be turned over to a court-ordered receiver, a Texas judge said. That person must then sell them to help pay families who lost children in the Sandy Hook shooting and had sued Jones for defamation.
Judge Orders Liquidation of Infowars to Pay Sandy Hook Families
The order comes after a series of legal setbacks for the families of Sandy Hook victims as they tried to collect money owed to them by the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
