If private insurance is allowed to exist parallel to Medicare-for-all, hospitals and healthcare providers would have the option of taking ONLY private insurance. When I had the California equivalent of Medicaid, almost none of the healthcare groups took it.

I’m ending my marriage of 6 years. I feel so, so good. And while life isn’t exactly where I’d like it to be, I’m excited for where I’m headed for the first time in a decade.

Hi Jezzies

That you do not understand that being naked and jacking off are not the same thing says a lot about you and nothing good. 

Both my partner and I are on the design end of marketing teams. The amount of absolutely shitty ideas that are thrown out are mind boggling (one of our companies that has nothing to do with the firearms industry suggested giving out branded BUMP STOCKS not 3 months after the Vegas shooting... at a convention IN VEGAS).

One story about a completely normally-functioning US government.

idk about you, but I find obscenely large gemstones/engagement rings to be tacky as hell. Also I wash my hands a lot and would be forever snagging that shit on everything. But, I guess if you have nothing else to spend oodles of money on...

“Look Dad! I did a book thing just like you! I got man face hair in the picture! Look! Looooook! My suuuuper hot girlfriend thinks I’m real smart, too! Not a genius like you, of course, but smart! Dad! Dad! Hey Dad...could you autograph a copy of my book for me?! I love you Dad! Dad?....dad?....sigh....ok seeya later…

She’s using her natural gifts for the greater good here :)  I listened to the audio and died when the interviewer asked if she would help T with his sartorial issues and she said, “I think he is unlikely to call”.    She avoided even referencing the names of the current first family.  It’s truly masterful.  

I really, really do want to silence him, though.

Seriously, who are the expected readers of this book? Who - even amongst right-wing book readers - cares enough about his musings to pay good money and dedicate however many hours to reading this?

I just like the design of his Mona-Lisa-frowny-face picture with the word TRIGGERED in giant letters beneath it and the rest of the print too tiny to read at a glance. Conservatives, they just can’t handle reality’s liberal bias. Poor snowflakes.

You can start with either getting a preapproved mortgage, or a real estate agent. The agent will guide you through the process, in any case. I started with an agent. See if anyone you know can recommend one. Most are reputable and very helpful, but some are not. They should be experienced in seeing serious problems…

I can only offer, you will likely find it is helpful to have a “pre-approval” from a mortgage broker before looking. I bank at a credit union and am currently using them. Compared to other home-buying experiences, the guy at the credit union really rises above the others in terms of efficacy and ethics. In this day…

Radical idea; we just give all kids free meals. All of them. Then it no longer matters.

I don’t have kids, and I gladly pay for public schools. I vote yes on every tax initiative that is for funding schools. For the life of me, I cannot understand why lunch is not included as part of going to school and the cost absorbed into all the other costs. Well and healthily fed kids make for better students, and…

I am a huge advocate of universal free breakfast and lunches for children. If kids are fed, they’ll do better in school. If they do better in school, their abilities to contribute to society as adults increases.
