On one hand, he energized the base like no other, and really brought some good into the party.
On the other hand, he continued the policies of bombing the middle east and intervening where we didn’t belong. He squandered the Democratic super majority by pushing the weaksauce ACA instead of Medicare for All, and set up the conditions to allow Trump to gain power.
Sounds like Ford’s plan of “make giant vehicles” isn’t working out for the EV market.
You don’t have the same gas guzzler loopholes for EV as you do for gas/diesel trucks. They can just make regular sized cars/vans, and people will buy them.
Now, a handful of health care companies are preparing to introduce a new model for cervical cancer screening and prevention that would circumvent the speculum: self-collection, in which a woman swabs her vagina in the doctor’s office, using only a narrow swab that looks similar to the one used during a Covid test. Once the sample is collected, a lab would test it for the strains of human papillomavirus, or HPV, most likely to cause cervical cancer.
The router will send the IP packet to where it thinks similar packets have been sent in the past. It will probably get there, but also it might be sent somewhere else completely, or transformed into a different packet as it goes through the network.
Who knows what will happen? Maybe your bank transfer will become a picture of a fish on the moon!!! That’s AI, baby!
Not always. There’s still a max annual out of pocket expense, which is what is covered by the FSA. A single event, or an illness or accident that only requires care for a single year or two, regardless of how expensive, would not deplete the FSA. It’s only a chronic condition that requires hitting the max out of pocket for multiple consecutive years that would start to deplete that buffer.
That’s all assuming that I can continue to work, and don’t have any other non-medical expenses during the recovery.
I know multiple small business owners who also have a regular corporate job JUST so they have insurance. The whole second job has nothing to do with salary, only health insurance.
Also, to be completely clear, I still hope that we end up with system that is much closer to the NHS. While the current system benefits me individually, I would much prefer a system that benefits EVERYONE, and I think it’s a disgrace that the US continues to have the system it does.
The only people it benefits are Insurance bigwigs and large employers that use the system to trap workers.
Going to make another post here, because I want to explain that American’s aren’t entirely irrational with our health care.
I spent time in the UK and the US, and I have to say that FOR ME, my personal, EXTREMELY privileged situation - The US healthcare system is better than the UK NHS. I say this knowing that if I lose my job, or I get a major illness, that could quickly change.
I pay a reasonable percentage of my paycheck for health insurance. I live in a mid sized town, in reasonable driving distance to several major cities, and the company I work is the single largest employer in the area, which means every doctor in this area is “in network” and I don’t have to do any extra paperwork for medical billing.
If I need an MRI for a sports injury, I can get it within a day or two. If I need a CT scan because something unusual comes up on a test, I can get it the same day. If I need surgery for just about any injury, it’ll be done within the week. If I need to talk to an expert, I can drive about 2 hours and get an appointment probably within a month (or less if it is an emergency.)
I will pay $0 additional out of pocket for any of the above… AGAIN, ASSUMING MY SITUATION DOES NOT CHANGE.
My employer, who spends quite a bit on this insurance, very much enjoys this setup. They are the reason that I have this insurance, and I will lose it if I quit.

I’ve only seen one lightning, and zero cybertrucks (aside from ones on a tesla dealer lot.) I do see a LOT of Rivian trucks though.
