Yes it is ok because before the ACA your rates, and everyone elses were growing at 3x the rate for the previous 10 years as they were for the years after. Even the latest spike is still less for those involved than where we were headed without Obamacare.

This trend was hidden from many working Americans for many years

My insurance rates doubled during the Obama years, but it wasn’t because of the ACA. I have private insurance through my employer and that stuff goes up regularly. It did before Obamacare and it will do so after Obamacare, but I’m totally OK with paying a bit more in taxes if that means significantly fewer people

Also, did you *premiums* double, or did your *employee contributions* double?

Mine did too! And you’re totally cool if you complain about it! Your best interests may not line up with others’! That’s okay!

So do you expect your premiums to drop by 50% now? Honest question...

Most importantly, can we talk about the return of production designer Akira Yoshimura? He played Sulu in the original Belushi timeline. That should be a story in itself.

I get totally confused and irritated when my mid-20s nieces and nephews don’t get a Taxi Driver, Blues Brothers or even for fucks sake, a Big Lebowski reference. This tells me to not even bother trying with a line from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, or Casablanca or even Hamlet. IT’S FUCKING HAMLET! HOW THE FUCK DO YOU NOT

Stephanie Myers is the author who wrote the immortal line

Guys, guys. Stephanie Meyer might be a talentless, vapid writer who infantilizes women and reduces the lives of every one of her female characters down to the shortest possible route to supernatural Poundtown...

Unless you are a direct Native American descendant, I find your logic amusing.

Counterpoint:

Airboat? More like showboating!

All I got from this is that I want Wedge to be in the episode 8 or 9 as a higher-ranking resistance officer, or something along those lines.

George Foreman wouldn’t have had a problem.

I went cruising around twitter, Trump supporters said: “at least this one was read before.” And another said, “I hope Trump read the whole thing before he signed it.”

I posted this is in the initial AHCA post, but there were 600+ comments so I’m sure it got lost. I just wanted to share my experience today in DC because it was so utterly sickening:

Reason # 1,951,023 as to why we should completely do away with bail bonds. If someone who is indicted isn’t charged with a violent crime - or is not a danger to society/or extraordinarily high flight risk - the presumption of innocence should allow them to be free until they are tried.

I have the same Easter Egg. Just pull my finger...
