More than 60% of nursing home residents use Medicaid to pay for their care, which can run between $6,000 and $30,000 per month. Without Medicaid they would have nowhere to go, and no way to fund their care needs.

Howdy 🤠

'bout time!

Boy I'm glad to see I'm not the only who has connected these dots...

Day 5: Sake 🍶 This is the first time this advent calendar has included a sake for us to try. I don't know one sake from another, but it isn't bad... kind of enjoyable really. Meanwhile, my alter ego is traipsing all over the world!

Day 4: Back to France...

Just for grits and shiggles, this is what I worte about the Hungarian wine when it came up in the box 2 years ago. 😁

Day 3: a Bulgarian Pinot Noir.

Thanks James, I definitely plan on it!

Cheers! 🍷🍷

Right????!!!

Every December I use Costco's Wine Advent-ure box as a writing prompt. I usually write about history or wine in general, but this year I decided to go a different route. My wine review is embedded in the story. 😁🍷

Just a reminder that he did not win nearly as many voters as they want us to believe.

Holy WOW! Gorgeous!!!

It may not be a global answer, but I think there may be multiple solutions to the problem, so employers need to think outside of the box as we modernize work.

I'm sure there are other reasons that are making work harder for people to commit to, maybe it's time to figure out what the barriers are?

Agreed, but what if you fill in the gaps gig-style? Have your base crew that gets a premium of some sort for being the solid base crew/leadership etc. and then fill in the gaps with micro shifts?

I wonder if we could break up some jobs into smaller time chunks and treat it like gig work... let people pick the times they can work without it necessarily being contiguous.

... employers and family responsibilities, especially women but increasingly men too. That's why gig work has become so popular... people can schedule work around their family responsibilities or school or whatever it is that demands their time.

I wasn't thinking remote work, I was thinking about flexible work schedules. Workflows aren't designed for people to schedule work around their lives, so for so long we've scheduled our lives around work. That works for some, but increasingly fewer people don't have to divide their time between...

I have wondered for years now if the problem is not that people don't want to work, but that people need flexibility in their schedule and businesses aren't designed for workforce flexibility?

By restricting these powers, the Court has weakened safeguards against pollution and climate change, threatening the ecosystems we are entrusted to preserve. This decision favors polluters over preservation. (3/3)

Attn: Yesterday, the Supreme Court revived the nondelegation doctrine, a legal theory that limits Congress’s ability to delegate power to federal agencies like the EPA—even if Congress wants to. (1/3)

This doctrine, last used in 1935, could cripple agencies’ ability to enforce critical regulations that protect what cannot protect itself—our forests, wildlife, waterways, and air. (2/3)

I haven't seen a response from anyone to this... Is this not a threat to the US?
