the United guy getting it has unlocked a lot of rage about the healthcare system - a lot of rage that could be captured by a political party, but to them, that guy was a colleague
This is horrifying news and a terrible loss for the business and health care community in Minnesota.
Minnesota is sending our prayers to Brian’s family and the UnitedHealthcare team.

this dickhead shut off Libby, the free online library in Missouri, because everywhere he looks he sees porn
No Taylor, limiting kids access to adult themed/porn books does not negatively impact children’s mental health! And anyone doing a “study” of showing 8 year old kids porn needs to be arrested.
Do you even hear what you’re saying??? “8 year-old children need access to porn to improve their mental health.” 🤦♂️👎
As I’ve said before, as soon as the ebook apps decide to limit kids access to adult themed books, I will reinstate their funding.

you and I might see this as a direct threat to living in an open society, and a horrendous insult to everyone who fought and died to kill fascism in Europe, but the dems will see this as a fundraising opportunity, and then do nothing

these guys are so stupid, and so illiterate, and so confident about it
I do think DOGE is going to be able to actually balance the budget.
People used to say, "You can't, because look at these sacred categories: There's x in entitlements, y in healthcare, you can't change those."
But how much in those sacred categories is fraud/waste/abuse?

During the Cold War, the Army secretly sprayed a chemical that contains cadmium, a carcinogen over St. Louis. Decades later, residents say they’re getting sick and wonder if something radioactive was in the mix.
