The problem is that there are some relatively good private insurance plans out there, of you can afford them. It isn’t all fucked up, just what the bottom 75% can afford.

That’s bullshit!

It’s just because she isn’t a cop, isn’t it!?

They are obviously from Indiana.

There is a project on the northwest side of Indianapolis at Fishback Creek where they are/have reclaiming it to its natural wetland state, from being cornfields. They had to go through the field and bust up all of the clay field drain pipes and then they let nature do the rest. I haven’t checked it out since around 2005, it might be time to go see how it’s changed.

Are they really a real group? Or is it just like rich 150 people who give a shitload of money to make it look like it is coming from many more people?

Has anyone actually met one before ?

I wish it didn’t happen, but I would have much rather it have been an assassination instead of an attempt.

My current hope is that he lives long enough to see Harris win in a landslide. Then he can die.

He’s totally cosplaying as Connor Roy, isn’t he?

Hail Satan!

Which is exactly where it should be… having regional phone companies sucked. Having 1 phone company sucked. Having 3-4 is the least sucky, but we have real competition.

Before tearing apart Google and Amazon, I’df much prefer we have 3-4 choices for internet providers (unless we can turn them into utilities, then we should do that).

Isn’t this what the United States did, just without the genocide?

yes, I know they too have committed genocide but I’m referring specifically to this action

Hi, I also know my industry, with over a quarter century of experience in Fortune 500 companies. The old motto of IT used to be ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ and then salespeople found out that fear is a great sales tool.

When proper precautions are taken and a risk analysis is performed there is no reason that old operating systems and software can’t continue to be used in production environments. I’ve seen many more systems taken down from updates gone wrong than from running ‘unsupported’ software. Just because a system is old, doesn’t mean it is vulnerable, often the opposite is true.

The letter said that after one Microsoft outreach on July 22, a “Delta employee replied, saying ‘all good. Cool will let you know and thank you.’ Despite this assessment that things were ‘all good,’ public reports indicate that Delta canceled more than 1,100 flights on July 22 and more than 500 flights on July 23.”

In order to do that the US government would need to heavily subsidize EVs the way the Chinese government does.

I support this… in my view the Chinese government is putting its money out there in order to get more people into an EV. The US should match their efforts.

Will this mean that no one will be able to pay to be the default search, or just that Google will no longer be allowed?

Honestly, Google is still the best free search even though it isn’t as good as it used to be… and if this ruling means that no one can pay to be the default then Google will still win based on name recognition and performance. Plus they will save money by not needing to give it to Apple.

The real loser here is Apple who is going to lose a fairly large revenue stream.

“Rise chicken!”

The best raise you can get is by changing jobs. Businesses are not going to be loyal to you, there’s no benefit to being loyal to them - add either a customer or employee. Embrace and welcome change.

When you get a pay raise immediately increase your 401k (or equivalent retirement fund) by at least 1%.

Enjoy your 20s, they don’t last long but the person you are today is who you will feel like you are in 20 years. Don’t rush your life. There’s plenty of time to get married and have kids. You and your kids will benefit from you having an extra decade of experience before raising another human.

Luckily they’re a small and mostly insignificant generation

Fuck you buddy. You’re right, but still, fuck you.

trump?

I like the idea on the surface, but no, I don’t want to be forced to vote for a few reasons:

• A lack of voter engagement is it’s own outcome of a vote.
• Freedom of speech means being able to refuse to speak, and voting is one of the most powerful forms of speech most people have.
• I’m not a fan of the government forcing me to do something I might not believe in.
• There are many people who don’t want to vote for trump but refuse to vote for Democrat and if forced might hold their nose and vote trump.

Making election day a Federal holiday and guaranteeing everyone has the option to vote would be more effective and have a better outcome.

Edit: Several replies are basically saying the same thing: you can turn in an empty ballot. But the exact same thing can be accomplished much easier by staying at home. You can’t force people to go somewhere, or even mail in a ballot… they have a hard enough time getting people to do the census. Also, a candidate such as trump would refuse the results of any election they lost that didn’t have 100% turnout, especially if the margin of loss is less than the percentage that didn’t vote.

Again, I do like the spirit of the idea, but in order to make it work it would take more effort than it is worth since staying home accomplishes the same thing as a blank ballot.

Yeah, no.

My wife has a Pixel 8, I have a Pixel 6 Pro, and my daughter has a Motorola Moto G 5G, all on Google Fi and I am the only one having this issue. We can all be in the same place and suddenly my phone gets a ‘!’ by the signal. This never happens to their phones.

Careful, soon there will be Russians having their PTSD triggered by the sound of a drone.
