No one told me this

 

This guy is using The Leftovers music in his commercial haha

 

Thought it was rhetorical or purposefully obtuse so I ignored it. But, the "refuse to vote for" issue is discussed when there's only two candidates that can win a specific election and the other is objectively worse in measurable ways but one issue becomes the reason to withhold a vote and lead to the worse candidate winning. I can't think of anyone that has decreed "refusing to vote" as a bad tactic in one case that would make a different argument in the other. This has been explained in great detail multiple times.

 

Don't do it, Ben.

 

This feels like Election Night again. Worst day so far since his inauguration. Can't believe we've got four more years of this.

 

McCarthyism:

 

I tell them up front. I had someone tell me to hide my politics from her parents, even when they talk about politics. Didn't turn out well when her father was basically worshipping Reagan at dinner.

 

Sorry saw this earlier and meant to respond....I'm not too sure how it works, unfortunately. I had to use my Medicaid out of state last spring, and there was a lot of hoops they tried to jump through to get the meds I needed and it ended up not working for some reason so I had to pay OOP for them. The visit itself was covered though? It was a really confusing situation because I wasn't sure why my state's medicaid would pay for a visit in another state but they did, IIRC. I just couldn't get the medication covered for some reason.

With private insurance, I think if it's not in your state, it's just considered an "Out of network" visit, so if you have an insurance plan that charges more or doesn't cover out of network providers, you'd be SOL there.

 

ACLU won't sue, says 'religious freedom' order was 'elaborate photo-op'

 

My insurance guru cousin says if the CBO counts the shitty insurance people will get with waivers, the score will probably be better than last time. If they don't, it'll be worse.
