In other news: 1 + 1 still equals 2.
First time in a long time I've actually been optimistic about the 2024 election. I generally vote for policy, not people. But I'd be excited to vote for Kamala Harris if she's the eventual Democratic nominee. No doubt.
Yeah, Bernie definitely shouldn't run, but I mean policy-wise I like Sanders a bit better.
For all of those priorities, Harris is pretty darn close. Definitely the closest we've ever seen.
I can't tell you what to like and not like about her. Who would you like instead?
I'd personally prefer someone like Sanders on the policies, but, as a progressive, Harris is much better than anyone I've had the opportunity to vote for as President, ever.
Honestly, I really like Harris, but I'd still prefer Sanders.
There is nothing they could do to dissuade me at this point.
They could dissuade you before? You probably shouldn't be listening to the Russians regardless of who the nominee is...
And proceeded to shoot her in the face. WTH...
Unexpected? He and Josh Shapiro were the immediate go-tos for basically all the news outlets after Harris emerges as the frontrunner for the nomination. Not sure what this headline is about.
That being said, I'd love to see either Kelly or Shapiro on the ticket as VP. Could get some great things done.
Americans care too much about their cars and the junk they've spent decades collecting in their garages to start a civil war.
Well, I think a lot of people bought a Tesla before Elon went publicly nuts.
I was personally saving to buy a Tesla, but now I'll be buying an EV from a different company.
I'm not sure that being perceived as the "favorite" is something that either party wants at this point. Being the favorite comes with a bunch of negatives.
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
Romans 13: 1-2
Of course, in the US, that is only valid as long as the President and Congress are Republican.
Well, they have money on the line.
It will be Josh Shapiro or Mark Kelly.
Or Mark Kelly. Regardless, it's probably going to be a white male from a swing state to appeal to as broad of an electorate as possible.
I would have turned out for Joe, no question. Any day. I'll also turn out for Harris or any of the other Democratic frontrunners. The alternative is Trump.
Too old...

I'm hesitating launching my own business because I'd lose health insurance for my family. What are my options?
I have everything pretty much ready to launch full time. Time, skills, customers, support from family. But I'd leave my current job behind and with it my family's health insurance for the foreseeable future. I can't afford any of the options I've seen. It's the one thing holding me back. Any ideas for affordable health insurance for startups? If you've been in the same situation, what did you end up doing?
