    Moderate drinking not better for health than abstaining, analysis suggests
  • "No shit" he says, holding his second 16 oz double IPA of the night

  • Cancer costs for Americans with private health insurance rose after the ACA rollout and fell for those with Medicaid
  • Many blues are nonprofits. The blues are a network of insurers. It is not one company

    Edit: randomly googled it and clicked on a few, here’s a couple examples of nonprofits:

  • It has now been 15 years since the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25
  • Regardless, nobody can live on 7.25

  • Could a short campaign be exactly what Kamala Harris needs?
  • The crazy thing is our primary schedule. Some people literally change their votes based on what happened in previous states’ primaries (think DeSantis supporters this year who realized he wasn’t viable). Then we wait 6 more months and have a general election. Our entire lives are political campaigns

  • Cancer costs for Americans with private health insurance rose after the ACA rollout and fell for those with Medicaid
  • A lot of insurers (the “blues”) are non-profit. Doesn’t make our healthcare system more efficient

  • A Black woman has never lost the general election for POTUS in US history but 45 white men have lost

  • That’s why I specified “general”. I’m not sure a Black woman was ever on a general election ballot

  • Trump campaign files election complaint to block Harris from Biden’s $90 million war chest
  • Wrong decision. Since SCOTUS overturned Chevron, the FEC actually can’t make up any rules so elections no longer have rules

    Edit: /s

  • Trump campaign files election complaint to block Harris from Biden’s $90 million war chest
  • It’s stupid regardless. You can pass on funds iirc

  • Elon Musk denies reported $45 million a month pledge to Trump, says he doesn't 'subscribe to cult of personality’
  • "It's not for Trump, that's a lie... It was for the PAC I made"

  • A Black woman has never lost the general election for POTUS in US history but 45 white men have lost
  • facepalm thanks, fixed the titled

    Edit: I’m still wrong. But this was a shower thought. There’s a reason this community isn’t called “well thought out comments”

  • Elon Musk backs down from $45 million a month pledge to Trump: ‘I don't subscribe to cult of personality’
  • He doesn't actually deny giving the money to his PAC though... He just says it's a lie that he's giving it to Trump
