How convenient that North Carolina republicans found a distraction from voter fraud committed by North Carolina republicans.

I mean, you said it right there: “an industry based on profiting from the suffering of others.” If we can change that, I would think we have a moral imperative to do so.

Admittedly I’m going by what a coworker had told me, so I may be missing those details that you laid out. Certainly neither of us were making enough that we could afford a higher premium than what we’re paying.

Or like how I can’t afford to actually see my doctor for anything other than a yearly physical?

Yeah, I was actually thinking about that recently. It’s awful, and I hope Nixon is burning in hell (if there is one) for setting that standard (even if it’s an indirect one).

Like, I think some of her music is quite good, and I appreciate the DIY ethos, but her image as some sort of wunderkind auteur or whatever is all internet branding/marketing and little besides.

Bachmann is truly certifiable, to be fair. She thought god wanted her to be president.

Hell yes! (needs moar guns, tho)

You mean the one who put out an album called “Geidi Primes” finds villains interesting? My shock knows no bounds.

“The question mark was emphasized.”

He done that, already.

WWJD? Buy guns, hoard wealth, consolidate power and oppress the proletariat, of course.

I think this is an appropriate place to point out that what trump and the rest of the deranged right are doing is stochastic terrorism.

The increase of dust...

Conspiracy theorists never follow Occam’s Razor, though. They go out of their way to avoid it at every turn.

I did similar work for a few years, and left shortly after watching a patient die due to the inadequacies of the system. It was absolutely heartwrenching, and I just wasn’t emotionally strong enough to handle it any more.

Oh, man, I love me a good rhetorical tautology. I can’t even get mad at this. It’s too funny to be mad at. And watching the utterly moronic right-wingers go apeshit over her “unimpeachable logic” is gonna be sooo good.

This. A thousand times, this.

My state won’t allow you to buy into a ACA plan if your employer offers coverage (regardless of how bad it sucks, as is my case).

Yes! My first thought was “That’s... kinda badass!”
