This little dude was inside our home. Safely removed to outside with a box. Hopefully it will be ok with the cold temperatures tonight. I suspect our townhome’s shared attic may have the rest of the family.

Someone once suggested an “I Won Capitalism” parade and trophy for people who achieved a certain level of wealth and then require that they give back $$$ beyond that amount (maybe they get to name a hospital or school or something).
BILL BURR: “If someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

I’m predicting that the GOP renews the subsidies for the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) but officially changes the name to TrumpCare and then proceeds to claim that They Saved Healthcare, etc etc and also TrumpCare isn’t ObamaCare by a different name, it’s Completely New and Better
THAT'S LITERALLY HOW THE SUBSIDIES & ACA EXCHANGES WORK ALREADY.
CONSUMERS ARE INFORMED BY COMPARING POLICIES ON THE ACA EXCHANGES, THEN THEY PURCHASE ONE AND THE GOVERNMENT PAYS SOME OR ALL OF THE COST OF THAT POLICY.
I'M TEARING THE LITTLE HAIR I HAVE ON MY HEAD OUT.

Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
