Yep. I can relate.

Yeah. And judging by young men's opinions, they are beginning to successfully brainwash the next generations. It was always about power 😕

I'm not sure the math works out -that- well... but I wouldn't mind a breakdown. What I can say that, if you start giving people raises that triple their salary all the way down, that 15% of the cost isn't likely to be more than ~25-30%? So tripling that salary chunk cost would be an extra +50% (the +200% of 25%). I don't know about you, but I'd be willing to pay an extra +50% for all my services for triple my salary...

Pure reactionary politics

Hm. Does that mean Fox will continue doing exactly the same thing as it's been doing, though? I'm not sure how much the settlement amount would keep them from just... continuing on. But we'll have to see...

Yeah, that's... what I was concerned about, more or less. When I heard he had brought all that material to his home and had been going through the documents, it pretty much screamed to me that he was searching for intel he could use. Not from an altruistic interest in the occupation.

Never had a drill. Late age millennial - though all my schooling was Canadian

Hm. In general, billions more dollars have been sunk into overall marketing strategies since the 80s and 90s... relatively speaking, a lot of money even if old values were caught up to new ones. So I don't discount the value in that, either... From my perspective, the real argument suggested here is that the weapon ban is hard to enforce - ie trying to determine restriction by the features of the gun is problematic. Not that the idea of restrictions are unsound, just not by these methods

This isn't necessarily about Big Pharma. The person in question is being denied insurance coverage without adhering to a strict set of conditions that they either had 'close enough' or 'was not reasonable' to perform. In one requirement they literally need to have uninsured exploratory surgery to confirm a condition that can only be confirmed via exploratory surgery. It's a costly catch22. This is a condition that's in 1/10 women, so believe me if they wanted to make exceptions to monetize it they could try to. Sometimes they make the wall to get the treatment is too high to begin with, and they don't care that they don't treat the women that can't afford the cost of a 20k surgery or a 1k a week medicine.

A friend in AZ can't get the treatments they need for chronic pain because insurance won't cover it. These aren't trans meds, just things for their long and painful medical history that doctors refused to analyze and insurance refuses even now to cover. because that requires analysis using expensive methods not covered by insurance. The system already mistreats women by refusing coverage for all sorts of conditions and just expects them to suffer.

and going after abortion pill access across the US. This is going to have knock on consequences probably worse than the alcohol ban 😕

Depends on the state 😕 my state might consider it differently

Al Capone didn't have millions of people willing to do whatever they can for him... 😕 I'm hoping Trump doesn't, either.

I'd rather see something about the Georgia calls, or something with more relevancy. This is just martyr-making 😕 We'll see though.
