My son works 50+ hours a week in a salaried position. His employer does not offer health insurance coverage because it’s cheaper for them to just pay the penalties.

Now she's saying she's boricua, but could that be because of the book she wrote?

What’s happening is that she’s telling on herself: What she’s kind of getting at is, “Surprisingly, these people are PEOPLE, like - even how people in Australia (white people) are people!”

Dave Chapelle has no idea what insurance costs in the private market for those working part time jobs with no benefits.  No clue at all.  Which makes this even more obscene (IMO). 

Agreed, but if you put it binary question, you have to only consider one or the other. Food or health insurance. Lack of one or the other will have the same end result.  You die if you don’t eat, and you die if you can’t afford healthcare. 

I don’t see how people can even afford to eat much on 12K after paying rent, utilities, transportation costs, etc. Unless Yang is providing subsidized housing at the very least, 12K is not enough for a person to live on. 

I always hated this show. My sustained weight loss sounds a lot like yours, it’s been 19 years since I was at my heaviest, and in the beginning, the weight loss was almost entirely down to a healthier diet.

The thing is that she’s Puerto Rican, half Puerto Rican or something like that, people here are weird with nationalities.

Everyone deserves better than Ross.

Don’t forget the attempted chilling effect of Pompeo’s actions. If you’re too tough doing your job and actually try to hold this administration at all accountable, you will be denied any and all access.

Reporters should all start carrying maps. Whenever anyone in this administration wants to bomb/attack/invade/exclude immigrants from/embargo/trade war/sanction a country, the first question should be to make the policy wonk point out that country on the map. They clearly all flunked civics class, and I’m betting they…

Weirdest coming-out tweet, ever.

The stupidest people are too dumb to realize how dumb they are, vicious circle.

God, he’s aggressively stupid. Aggressively.

As someone who is immunocompromised, may I just say: I hope she gets an infected ingrown taint hair that doesn’t heal right for at least a month. 

Look, if a bad guy wants to assault a woman in a public restroom, there’s currently NOTHING stopping him from doing it now.

What does that even mean in the modern era?  Ignore gender equality in favor of economic equality?  Ignore social justice in favor of economic justice?  We can’t chew gum and walk at the same time?

“The word ‘women’ never appears in the ERA. Instead, the amendment focuses on ‘sex’ — a word increasingly in danger of becoming meaningless as ideologues push to disassociate the term from biology and replace it with ‘gender identity.’”

Yes, young children do think in binaries. So what? They also think peas and carrots can’t touch and it’s totally NBD to eat a roach off the floor. You’re going to get better results if you teach them otherwise starting early! And I promise they care more about the roach than about some hypothetical LGBT adults. It’s…
