  • well because 3 times the premium cost is still far below the cost of surgery. i am currently recovering from the removal of a cyst in my jaw that ate half my jaw leaving bone barely 3 playing cards thick in some areas. there was nothing i could have done to avoid it. the surgery too make the marsupilisation to drain the area alone was $3500, with only pain numbing. still awaiting the final surgery cost, but the anastegeologist is $1500 that i have to pay. and the stitches from my mandolin accident costs me an additional $1500.

    this is ALL what i have to pay, while i have silver level coverage









  • the machine does not judge, the operator may, but that is not really a factor to many but is an abstract invasion. you can’t whisper your problems to the person sitting next to you without multiple companies trying to sell you a solution.

    to someone in need an ai is an attractive option, this has no bearing on if that machine is qualified to do so. and while i get the urgency to move people over to any better option, shame is the quickest way to push someone to the end of the rope.

    do not blame those who struggle. any port in a storm






  • they literally are the first hurdle into solving the republican problem.

    and while i do appreciate that they are FINALLY doing something i can point to and say it’s a good start (holding fast to their demands on the shut down) they otherwise hold the rest of us back. they need to stop harming the chances of progressive candidates in their own party, stop sueing to block passed ballot initiative for progressive action. stop their actions to help their corporate doaners, and actually pass progressive laws


  • i’m just going to put out there that the last time the us military won a war against an entrenched guerrilla force was in 1902. This is with a the largest most armed and equipped force in the world, uninterruptible supply lines and a secure military industrial complex and effectively infinate money.

    if one were to grow within the us, the military would have the added issues of difficulty in collecting taxes, defending the neigh limitless strategic and venerable assets that are currently defended by nothing more than civility, and a pinky swear, and being VASTLY outgunned. there is also the problem of mass desertion after being ordered to do what we did to the populations surrounding insurgencies.
