I didn’t think I could be more disgusted or hate him more. I was wrong.

My thoughts exactly! I noticed the typo and decided it worked and let it be.

I’m probably being overly dramatic, but there have been a great reduction in benefits and increases in costs both premiums and deductibles. To answer your second question, it’s probably a combination of both the ACA and that I am a public employee in a state that has decided public employees are freeloading villains.

Male is a typo but I’m leaving it.

I’m as liberal as they come. I’m hopeful we get Medicare for all or something sooner rather than later, and think the ACA was landmark legislation that saves lives. That said, my employer based healthcare has gone from great to barely passable in the time since the ACA passed. It is more expensive, covers less, and…

The DA of Waukesha county at the time was Brad Schimmel. In short order he became the attorney general of Wisconsin, a position he currently holds. He is a nightmare.

Water. The valuable thing will be fresh water.

I assume this is sarcasm and agree 100%

I’ll admit that I’m privileged but infertility gave me more severe anxiety amd genuine mental anguish than being raped as a teenager. Minimizing women’s experiences because they aren’t your own isn’t very feminist in my opinion.

I should have read further before posting because you said this so well.

When I was trying desperately to have a baby this sort of news would have been super upsetting and probably sent me into a depressive episode.

It’s almost as if he doesn’t care about 3.4 million US citizens just because they are mostly people of color and cannot vote for president. That is if president dipstick even knows they are US citizens.

I was just discussing this book today! I have the paperback on preorder. Can’t wait!

I’m currently reading Elizabeth Kolbert’s “The Sixth Extinction” and I really needed any reason to hope but I don’t know, the window, if it exists, seems really small.

Haha! Sometimes nature can take care of itself.

My mother-in-law drives me nuts by always picking up rocks and flowers when we are hiking. My mother always taught me to leave shit alone when you’re in nature.

You fancy. It’s more than 15 times mine but then again we only have two adults, two kids, and one DOG - no cats.

^^^^ This. Almost all of it actually ends up costing tons of money. It’s all a very expensive, and very terrible fuck you to Obama and those who voted for him.
