Free Gil !

Good Christians, all

Also worth noting that the minimum wage in Ontario province is $17.60 CAD , which allows people to pay for healthcare

Unemployed people and people making $7.25 an hour can’t afford $640 a month. Jeff Bezos probably can. So it needs to be funded by some form of progressive taxation

It would help to do a “system cash balance”. I.e. for the health services in the proposed plan, what are the current total cash inputs?

Note that the immigration Nazis think that all that migrants do is harvest stuff. We work our vineyard almost year round. Plant, prune, spray, cover crop rotation, repair trellis & irrigation, etc….

Why bother growing veggies if there’s nobody to put them in the ground? Prices gonna rise

I hope you paid tax on that

Biden used the Wayback Machine

I amuse myself by AI translating his rants back into the original German

Beat me to it!

For gods sake don’t throw any avocado toast

But the war with Kerplukistan rages on

Should make for buying opportunities on about 100 million single family homes

Over 65…. In Colorado. Tried to make appointment at Walgreens-no-go needed Rx. Primary care doc said dont need Rx…. Got shot at Safeway without Rx. RFKJr is trying to confuse us to death

Exactly, he does have enough implicit power to affect outcomes. While I’m guessing he’d never be able to convince Colorado to drop mail in voting, one word from Trump will get e.g. Louisiana to install the scheme

I call it lying. It’s much easier to create an engaging narrative if you make shit up

Two things-need to reduce costs to match other OECD countries (per capita). I’d start with the AMA and the RVU system that sets physician pricing

We don’t need that much incremental taxation. Employers and individuals pay enormous amounts of money for insurance premiums. Just send that to the govt

Mutual of Omaha for Part G supplemental. ($158 for 74 yo). Wellcare for Part D ($0/mo). Wellcare generics are almost free for all but one that I get for $250/90 days less thru Mark. Very happy with claims service, but the Part G premium is borderline affordable for me

I’m 75 and in better shape than that. Guess they’re trying to recruit the fitness averse

And screw with Treasury Inflation Protected Bonds. Wish me a happy retirement

Maybe the recently renamed Washington Orangeskins can play there

The article is well worth the read. But I think describing the current moment as “humiliation” understates the mess we are in. Sadism sums it up better. Deportees to CECOT were humiliated by having their heads shaved. But Trump/Miller/Homan/Noem are gleeful about the deportees lives being ruined

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I grow grapes. It’s a small family farm, so we do a fair amount of work ourselves. It’s hard work for 8 months of the year. Prune vines badly in February and get no grapes in October. The brown folks that work in the orchards and vineyards around me are highly skilled and work at 105F. God bless em

That. Trump’s special power is weaseling out of anything. He can change the subject & nuke Tehran (or Kyiv, just to keep it fun). Congress wouldn’t impeach him. He owns the DOJ. Eileen Cannon will throw out the charges
Six months from now we’ll all be raging against something else. Sad!

Not sure. Any non-moron would know that. But his brain is mush and he will never admit to being wrong

I appreciate it! Shows what can happen if you pull the rent seekers out of the system. Get rid of pharmacy benefit managers, rein in AMA power to set physician supply and RVU pricing, get billing efficiency like Medicare..
Take the money that goes to commercial insurers and send it to Medicare!

I have a Plan G from Mutual of Omaha. $157/mo + part B. Had surgery to correct collateral damage from prior cancer surgery. Total OOP maxed out at $274 for the year. Part D is Wellcare. No monthly premium, generic drugs are essentially free, except for one I get from Cost Plus. $17 on C+ vs $274.

Elon Musk stated, "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy," during an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience." 4/8/2025. Musk woodchippered USAID. DOGED NOAA. I think a good campaign slogan would be “people will die, but America Party is OK with that”

So sorry for your loss

Hope the van has a ramp. They could get back injuries from trying to lift a brown person and their wheelchair
