I’m not sure if I’m relieved or terrified that the Republicans running our government are so incompetent that their evil health care “replacement” died in 17 days.

How have we gotten to this point where child rearing and development is solely a female concern? Pregnancy is not something that can exist without definitive and discrete action by a male - this makes it a universal health issue. Most of the people who want to treat pregnancy and maternity as a female only issue are

The Republican “idea” is that you can remove all this mandatory coverage and then people can a la carte shop for the type of insurance they need, thus allowing them to get cheaper coverage by only selecting what they think is applicable to them. A favorite example of theirs being single men not needing insurance that

Also, have you guys fucking seen this?

Canada: Socialized (free) healthcare since 1947.

“And once we get it done, and then we can have the chance to really explain it.”

Let’s just get a running tally going...

A few weeks ago I went to see Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg speak at an event in DC. (Remind me to tell you sometime how I almost didn’t get in because of my empty bag, it was insane.)

Anyway, it was moderated by Nina Totenberg of NPR and she asked Justice Ginsburg about Gorsuch. The Notorious RBG paused for a long

Which is fucking amazing since they ALSO think that a pregnant employee is a drain on company resources and a huge liability. So which is it, you fucks?

Also some charming folksy expression. “Well golly, asking employers to include birth control in their employees’ insurance plans makes the employers complicit in the sluttish decisions of the people who work for them. Those gosh-darn whores!”

The problems of economic globalization is that capital is mobile. Labor, by and large, is not.

But you’re not wrong. Don’t be too timid to share thoughts like that, as they are tied to your observations.

I’m no economist, but as a holder of a subprime mortgage back in 2008, I had a personal enough stake in the subject to try and learn something about it. Globalization seemed to take off when economics became more digitalized, and investment packages included the ability to invest more in foreign companies. Combine

If this investigation doesn’t lead to trump being impeached, the little faith I have in our democracy will be completely dead.

Donald Trump doesn’t have enough delegates to win the Presidency.

Yeah. I’ll believe the bill won’t pass only after it actually fails. If you’re betting on the House stopping the bill, you’re betting on the House Freedom Caucus to oppose Donald J. Trump.

I hope that there will be an implosion of the online services once everyone realizes that people aren’t going to pay $10-15 a month to everyone for everything and will go back to Netflix. (Personally, I’m sticking with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime and that’s it.)

I guess entitlement comes into it, but Netflix is definitely coming to the tipping point for me. I bought Netflix because I enjoyed the fresh, fairly new variety. It’s starting to become stale and less attractive.

I kind of hate that so many channels are getting their own streaming services. I used to just wait until things came out on Netflix, but it seems like few new things are making their way over to Netflix these days.

Sigh......I’ve come to hate these articles. It always seems what is leaving (if they actually leave) is better than what is being gained. It doesn’t even matter that I didn’t know it was there to begin with and wasn’t watching it currently anyway.
