Young boomer here - retired early from my job this year, opening up an opportunity for a younger teacher to take my place. Good news all around.
Counted on ACA to help me keep coverage until I turn 65, at a not-unreasonable cost.
I am about to pay $3,000/month to cover me and my wife.

There’s good deflation and bad deflation
A decrease in price levels due to productivity gains or fixing supply chain issues (ie, reversing the issues that led to so-called “Biden-flation”) is good,
Lower prices because of severe drop in aggregate demand (lost consumer/business confidence) is bad

Let’s abolish gerrymandering and implement rank-choice voting in 5 pilot states - get everyone there in, I don’t know, 20 years?
