I definitely agree that wealth can seem to be relative, but I also think that's just a result of capitalism. If you can never be "too rich" then what does rich mean at all? I don't make a whole lot of money myself, but I don't have student loans, and if I ever got myself into a big (several thousand dollar) problem, I…

I sort of took this as him not being able to see things from her perspective. Since he has formed this relationship with her and developed a crush, it can be hard, regardless of who you are, to understand why the other person doesn't feel the same way.

Yeah, I'm on that team too. I could probably have gotten over all of the other stuff for Logan, but burning down a hotel of people. I literally gagged watching that episode.

I, too, never made the Schmidt Leo connection until watching this trailer. I don't know how, but probably just because their personalities couldn't be much more different. I'm so excited for this movie, I'm FREAKING OUT!

Have they figured out if the reason the wage gap is closing is because all entry-level employees are just getting paid less? I'm not an economist or anything, but I sort of assumed this after reading the other article. Anyone who IS an economist know?

Maybe Michelle Bachman and the crazies were right after all! Wait. Nope, they're still wrong.

I just remember multiple times how she describes herself as looking like a child. I don't really care too much about this (I got over it years ago with Hermione), but basically I always pictures a short, flat-chested girl who people think is 12 instead of 16.

He's not wearing (robot voice) a hat!

I agree that the headline is sensationalist, but this actually mean that if a woman is buying insurance from these marketplaces she cannot get abortion coverage. She will have to buy additional coverage. That'd be (if I can use an over simplified example) like making a law saying that the health insurance sold in this…

Insurance covering abortion is MUCH less expensive than covering a pregnancy. Prenatal care costs more. Giving birth costs a TON! Some women literally cannot afford to use drugs in their birth because of the cost. My mom's insurance has found that it is more cost effective for them to cover one abortion per year than…

Ok thanks for clearing this up!

Thanks! I know I was relegated to the gray, so I'm just glad someone read it!

But your tax dollars won't be paying for anyone's abortion regardless because of the Hyde amendment. The insurance companies will already have to have something in place to show that no government money went toward funding abortions.

I don't think obamacare can cover abortions, as no state money can go to abortion. My understanding is that they are saying that any insurance policy being sold in the obamacare marketplace (which would include private plans that often do include abortion coverage) can't cover abortions. So you need to buy an…

As a state that is already really struggling, with their biggest city in bankruptcy, this is going to be very interesting and heartbreaking to watch play out. Are they literally going to let all of their new, poor citizens starve to death? Because they aren't going to have the money to take care of all of the new…

That's what I think. I'm trying to give LeadFed the benefit of the doubt, but it seems like emotions issues are just the ones that won't effect straight, white, male law makers personally.

So then do you consider marriage equality an "emotions issue"? This is an honest question. To me, it is one about equal rights and economics. Of course people would feel strongly about something pertaining to their rights, but what, in your mind, makes something into an emotions issue?

Your theory that "As long as women can identity a part of an issue that they can personally see themselves at a disadvantage in, it can be considered emotional" shouldn't just apply to women then. You could replace the word women with any group. This is practically the basis of the GOP's platform. They see themselves…

Yes, whether or not I will be able to prevent/terminate a pregnancy IS a major quality of life concern. It is also economic, because if my insurance doesn't cover birth control, that can cost a lot of money a month. If it becomes nearly impossible to get an abortion, that means a woman's paycheck shrinks. Family…

I guess then our theme was Chicago? I don't know. Or maybe typewriters. I wasn't too worried about it. I'm so glad it's over so I don't have to plan the stupid thing anymore, and I really didn't do many extras. As someone who works in events for a living, I couldn't' have been less interested in planning our wedding.
