Putin’s fundamental objective has always been to re-establish Russian influence across the former Soviet sphere & weaken Western alliances. The EU, as a unified economic & political bloc, is an obstacle. He won’t stop at Ukraine, but understands his ambitions are only plausible if the EU fractures.

So, Trump’s plan is to give a $2K one time payment to Americans instead of to insurance companies, but Americans are supposed to use the $2K to buy insurance from insurance companies.
Did I get that right?
Not only is it willfully insufficient for people’s healthcare needs, but it’s nonsensical.

I always supported legal assisted dying until I watched “Better Off Dead?” on BBC and seen how it’s weaponized against POC, the poor, the mentally ill, etc. Totally changed my perspective.
A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead.
There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere.
This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying
