Fun fact:  research has demonstrated that the more out-of-pocket expenses you impose on insured people, the more they act like UNINSURED people.  They just keep putting off their healthcare needs until they become really expensive and difficult to deal with.  The whole fucking concept of “skin in the game” is a scam.

Hell, we don’t even ask and we still get told to not ask about it. I can’t even fathom the levels of hubris that it takes to actually start jamming your adult children about when they’re having a baby.

Barr, to Trump:

So, a contempt order will be forthcoming any minute now...right?

Unless you like LOTS of salt, don’t bother with KFC.

“What a sweet child!”

I’m wheely confused by this as well.

I want to know the stats on the used market.

Or more accurately, an abomination unto God and man for those people He chose for reasons known only to Him to know its true horror, and a cursed falsity to those He has cast out.

I’ll be trying this without the cilantro, because that stuff is an abomination unto God and man.

I wonder what it would take for a state or federal change in the language to something like, “contracts will be awarded based on the optimal balance between projected quality of…

Then you’re fortunate enough to have higher ups who back you when push comes to shove.  I’ve been shut down and retaliated against for simply doing what I was hired to do.

Well, we already know that Republicans will literally vote for anyone as long as there isn’t a D next to their name, so I can actually see this as a workable strategy.  I’m sure Doug Jones is head over heels about it.

Honestly, I think it will be several more generations before any substantial party takeover/shift happens.  This is because it will take that long for enough minority voters to be able to launch such a venture.  I think it’s going to be their legacy to save us.

That’s a much better (as in, actually useful) ramp than the one on 375 outside of El Paso.
