You forgot the /s/ part.

What makes you think they don’t “appreciate it?”

You seem to have a fundamentally flawed understanding of where “taxpayer money” ultimately comes from.

I think that in order to qualify for the subsidies you have to be making pretty shit money. Maybe if they raise the minimum wage, they could accommodate your desire to see others pay more.

Here’s why: some government funny business around CSR payments means silver plans are way more expensive than usual. But the government also gives subsidies to help low and middle income families pay for insurance—and the dollar amount of those subsidies is based on the price of silver plans. So the subsidies are now…

It’s not really mysterious, and he really doesn’t.

So, conversely, for some of us and ALL of our children and grandchildren when they get old enough to pay for their own health insurance, it just got a whole lot more expensive.

I literally have a Papa Johns across the street from me and I still will order Dominos delivery. The cheesey bread alone is worth the delivery charge.

Papa Murphy’s is great because it’s like, “Oh cool, I can get a pizza that’s 10 lbs and costs $14? AND some sort of s’mores pizza? Yeah, time to stress test my house’s plumbing.”

It honestly is amazing how Dominoes was able to completely turn themselves around. For the fast chain pizza’s it is by far the best, not sure what the fuck Pizza Hut is doing, but it is a hut of sadness. Little Caesars was the shit when I was a kid and we went to Caesarland. Sbarro gave my fiance diarrhea on a flight…

May i ask, what state do you live in, What is roughly your yearly income, what tier of plan do you have, what is your deductible?

Up until last year that’s how it worked, the reason more people are getting zero dollar plans now is because the market is so destabilized.

I get your point, but I’d argue that we keep lowering our standards and letting the dullards control the conversation. We should be non negotiable about these things. Not every point of view matters. If somebody is too stupid to know the difference between “allegedly” and “wholly innocent” then they don’t get to have…

So your assertion is that “Alleged” isn’t a necessary modifier because everyone would assume that something isn’t already proven?

Yes. I read what she wrote. But it still stands true. But it’s a legal distinction. I know we’re concerned about how things feel to us, personally, right now, but some standards still need to be set in place. Does anybody on this site truly not know the difference, or is this a straw-man argument? People joke about…

Unfortunately for your weak attempt to straw man the thread, I did in fact read the article. Hence me responding directly to the part you quoted.

So if you’re not being asked to believe things because people say them, it’s fair to call what they say, “not yet proven”.

I love your work, Diana. Enough to try to keep my stupid puns out of your comment section. And I’m neither a journalism or legal authority, but I wanted to weigh in.

Why do we use allegedly? Because we are working with allegations, not adjudicated facts. The moment we give in and start referring to allegations as understood facts, we’ve lost the basis of our system. We as private citizens at cocktail parties and water coolers and bars can probably assume that there is not a 90+…

True, but you can’t publish whatever the fuck you want based on whose account you believe. Unless you enjoy being deposed.
