Not this far from the front lines. This was in the Russian rear.

Hegseth said war is imminent. I have no idea is that's true bit this is the sort of thing you do when you expect war is near.

Safety nets are there, it is just that the nets don't provide equality between families. If you are born into a family with parents who divorce, that's a hardship the government cannot entirely protect you from.

One of my family members had that job for a good while. What's interesting is the phone companies did not keep great records of what's copper and where it is, so a lot of it is likely to remain in place for a long time. Something else he has seen is thieves cutting fiber, thinking it is copper, and causing outages, although that is less frequent than it was years ago.

I seek out out-of-the-way websites maintained by one or two people and then subscribe by RSS. RSS may be the only thing left keeping the web sane.

I remember when phone lines were made of copper. We were sure that it would be impossible for everyone to have a phone.

1. Cancer
2. Stroke
3. Aneurism

Suicide shows up far too often. Y'all need help!

Your phone is doing it too. TV too, if you have one. Don't forget about your doorbell!

The article needed translation: "Please don't invade me."

The last mile can be 25 mph. That alone will eliminate 99% of traffic deaths, especially if the roads are designed to make it uncomfortable to go above 25 mph.

Latin Mass Catholic. So perhaps that makes more firm your impression of me. That said, I really don't mind a sincere conversation, if you care to ask any questions.

I might be insane. Do the insane know when they are insane? Either way, I am open to AMA style questions if you sincerely care to find out if your impression carries with me too.

Maybe it matters to some people, but if I'm going to get affordable healthcare through Program A or Program B, I really don't care which it is. Families that are dropped from Medicaid for being above the poverty rate will be able to get almost the exact same thing (honestly, they'll have more options for providers) through Obamacare.

I replied to someone else, showing how I am correct. Link.

Okay, here's the data-- Family of 4. Male, age 30. Female, age 30. Male, age 10. Female, age 10. Saline County, Kansas. Annual household income $32,500 (just over the poverty level). The cost of health insurance is zero and the maximum out of pocket for the entire family for the full year is $4k. Click here for a screenshot.

Second scenario, same information, except the household income is $40,000 (just below 125% of poverty). Click here for a screenshot. You may notice the rates are the same!

Third scenario, same information, except the household income is $48,000 (just below 150% of poverty). Click here for a screenshot. Still very affordable!

I am sorry for your dad who died of cancer. If he had bad advice, I wish he got better advice when looking for his health insurance. The truth is, without Medicaid, most families can still get very affordable healthcare.

Is what I said false?

Actually, she's cuter! 😉

If you are between 100% & 125% of poverty and in a state that didn't expand Medicaid, you still get nearly free healthcare through Obamacare.

Having babies made my wife more affectionate and concerned about my own well-being. It was so great, we now have 11 children together. She's a real blessing.

They last longer. Up to this point the government could not get the public to adopt the $1 coin, largely because it was too big physically, and cashiers didn't have an extra slot in their coin drawer. We could change all that now, if we convert $1, $5, $10, and $20 into coins the appear similar to the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter.
