03.08.2025 23:36 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Did you miss the part where I said it applies to both sides?

03.08.2025 23:07 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Either she was naive or in denial, but this isn’t gaslighting. We don’t know what she really thought at the time. Besides, I’m talking about gaslighting as a TV pundit. What has she said on MSNBC that was an outright falsehood?

03.08.2025 22:27 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I think it's appropriate for CNN to offer conservative voices to their analyst mix. But they should make gaslighting an automatic DQ for both sides.

03.08.2025 21:56 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0That’s outdated. Look it up.
03.08.2025 21:54 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Why would anyone opt in unless they have a claim?
03.08.2025 20:53 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It's that adversity I'm referring to. It is a real cost, modeled or not.

03.08.2025 19:30 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 3 📌 0The COBRA 60-day grace period for signing up seems like a pretty big adverse selection window. What am I missing?
03.08.2025 19:12 — 👍 16 🔁 1 💬 5 📌 0By "corporate personhood," you're referring to Citizens United paving the way fpr lobbying against unions?
03.08.2025 17:40 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Yes, as I recall BLS had a lockup much how the Fed does it today. They stopped that after COVID, and I think they made that changed permanent.
