The ACA was far better for those insurance companies than repealing it lol. Imagine having millions of people suddenly being forced to buy your product. Why would they not want that? On top of that, the government just gives them a fuck ton of money because they're making up the difference.

Because healthy people will simply not buy insurance, leaving the balance skewed to have a higher proportion of unhealthy people insured. Those people will be hit with even higher premiums, forcing more people to reconsider insurance--if they can even continue to afford it. Eventually that gets really bad for insurance companies, and for those looking for insurance. Without any subsidies this could be devastating

https://www.wired.com/2017/01/not-even-insurance-companies-want-obamacare-repealed/

What will happen depends on what Congress repeals, and what the replacement plan looks like. "If they remove the subsidies and lower the individual mandate tax penalty to zero, it could lead the individual market to unravel," Dow says. Why? It could lead to high rates of what experts call adverse selection, which basically amounts to having more sick people in your pool than healthy ones. "When the pool is less healthy, the premium is higher," says Paul Ginsburg, a health economist at USC's Sol Price School of Public Policy and Brookings. Under Obamacare, the insurance mandate and subsidized lower premiums kept healthy people on the wagon. If Obamacare's replacement doesn't deal with the adverse selection problem, insurers will have to raise their premiums to cover the risk posed by having a higher proportion of sicker, costlier people. "Healthy people will drop out," Ginsburg says. "This is going to do an amazing amount of collateral damage."

So this all seems pretty bad, even if Republicans just go back entirely to the way things were before the Affordable Care Act. Back then, most states allowed insurance companies to alter their premium rates based on a person's health, which is arguably better for insurance companies because it allows them to minimize risk and potentially increase profits. But without the individual mandate, their client base is still going to shrink. "The overall losers here are the sick people," Dow says. "Some people are talking about subsidizing high risk pools for people who have been rejected by insurers, but that would require a lot of government funding. So I’m skeptical."

Uh but it's not paying for them it's just no longer allowing companies to deny insurance to people with pre-existing conditions. Trump wants to remove that protection. That's going to work out great for my friends with things like MS, lupus, and cancer.

Most other nations that are developed offer single payer healthcare. The US should. Short of doing that, the ACA at least allowed millions of people to get on insurance plans. Repealing that is just working for insurance companies and disregarding needs of the public.


Insurance companies don't want it repealed.

There are no price controls on the ACA.

It's the subsidies they don't want to lose, and the expanded insured base. There's tens of millions of people that weren't paying in before.

Now they're just trying to shut off the subsidies and prices will skyrocket

What has he done that's so bad? Has it affected your life personally?

I've noticed no change with mine.

I'm not in the US any longer but many of my friends were going to have issues getting health insurance due to pre existing conditions. And they may end up without it if his health care reform ideas are enacted.

New York magazine had a great article/interview with Sater from the beginning of August.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/08/felix-sater-donald-trump-russia-investigation.html

Excerpt:

Cohen, one of Trump’s personal attorneys, had known Sater since they were teenagers. He met Artemenko and Sater at a hotel on Park Avenue, and they gave him a sealed envelope containing the plan. The New York Times reported that Cohen said he had hand-delivered the envelope to Flynn at the White House. (Cohen later denounced the Times story as “fake news.”) After it was exposed, the peace initiative was scuttled and Trump’s opponents seized on fresh evidence that — preposterous as it might seem — Sater still had enough pull with the president to dabble in diplomacy. “A Big Shoe Just Dropped,” wrote the liberal blogger Josh Marshall, who has continued to enthusiastically delve into Sater’s role in what he calls the “Trump-Russia money channel.”

Since then, shoe after shoe has clunked to the floor, in a cacophonous cascade of ever-more-damaging disclosures. “I know there is a huge movement to find the there there,” Sater said in June. “I got it. But unfortunately, I’m not going to be the one.” He said he would be happy to be summoned to speak to Mueller or congressional investigators. “God bless them if they do,” he said. “We could talk about bin Laden and Al Qaeda and cyber-crime convictions and operations of over fucking 12 years, no problem.”

He couldn’t resist telling me, though, that something big was brewing. “In about the next 30 to 35 days,” he told me, “I will be the most colorful character you have ever talked about. Unfortunately, I can’t talk about it now, before it happens. And believe me, it ain’t anything as small as whether or not they’re gonna call me to the Senate committee.”

This was before the news of Don Jr.’s fateful Trump Tower meeting came out. Still, it was already clear that Mueller was shifting his attention toward Trump’s family business, and many were wondering if Sater, who sang so beautifully for the FBI before, might have another big number to perform. Lately, something about Mueller’s investigation seems to have truly alarmed the president. Rattled by its focus on his finances, the president has sent signals that he might fire the special counsel and has openly discussed issuing preemptive pardons. The extremity of Trump’s reaction has only heightened suspicions he has something truly damning to hide. And if anyone outside the president’s immediate orbit knows what that is, one could imagine it would be Sater.

What?

5's finale actually had things happening. 7 had, like, 3 things to cover an hour and 15 minutes, and two of those things were done as uninterestingly as possible

Yeah it (season 5) had a good finale following a totally bad season

And I disagree. This season had the reunion of the Lannisters, reveal of the White Walker, Baelish being called out, the Stark siblings working together, the Targaryen back stories, Theon taking a stand for Yara, Jaime realizing how mad Cersei is, and the attack on the wall...

Like if this didn't have enough going on and was too much dialogue I don't know how you tolerated season 1 and 2

The real issue is the poor pacing leading up to this season left so much to be dealt with in very little screen time. This finale sets up the next season well. But only 6 episodes to resolve anything is ridiculously short.

Season 1 wasn't that great, season 2 was worse, but 3 is where it really hooks. With all of the other seasons there it makes the first season better. It makes more sense, there's too much story to convey all of what's going on.

I am gonna wait till the next season of West World releases, resubscribe to HBO Now, and catch up on Game of Thrones and watch West World. Hearing about the events of GoT from my coworkers and watching YouTube clips is surprisingly good enough for me.

I think part of me is still holding out for the original story being told via the books so I am not 100% interested in the events of the HBO series.


It is clearly a very different story than the books. I've actually feeler very betrayed by the last 2 books so I've sided with the show more recently. It's been hit or miss but I guess more hits than anything else.

Also, I have to agree that YouTube is perfect for this show. You can find any specific scene you want to watch. And this show is all about singular scenes. YouTube is great for rewatching scenes

Martin planned to do it as a trilogy and he's now at 5 books, maybe he stretched it out a bit too much? or just bad writing? I haven't read the books yet. Keeps putting me to sleep. :P

https://thesternfacts.com/exclusive-emails-say-whole-trump-family-participated-in-soho-hotel-criminal-enterprise-d703277dfa71

These leaked emails are the first evidence that proves that Donald Trump and his family personally knew of Felix Sater’s felony crime and participated in a meeting about covering it up.

Donald Trump hawked the Trump SoHo Condo Hotel extensively on NBC’s The Apprentice, but committed a bank fraud to keep the project afloat the following year, and dragged his family into it.
The newly leaked emails from the Sapir Organization’s attorney document a “time sensitive and should not be pushed back” meeting the Trumps demanded on January 21st, 2008.

The meeting happened soon after the New York Times publicly revealed in mid-December 2007 that the Trump Organization’s investor and SoHo partner Bayrock Company’s manager-member Felix Sater had secretly entered financial felony plea deal in the late 1990s.

Donald Trump, his daughter Ivanka and sons Don Jr. and Eric collectively demanded and presumably attended the important meeting to chew out Bayrock about the project, and specifically Felix Sater about his felony past.

We know because Sater wrote Bayrock’s investors complaining that his own company wanted to fire him after meeting the Trumps.

Hiding a financial felon’s involvement is a form of criminal bank fraud. The Trump SoHo project ultimately failed and was foreclosed by lenders. Instead of informing banks and buyers about Sater’s criminal past, as was the Trump Organization’s obligation, the Trump family proceeded to keep the felony secret as Sater engaged in a scheme to hide his interests in the deal.


The information about Trump and Sater defrauding banks has come to light only because attorneys Fred Oberlander and Richard Lerner refused to back down. They filed and are litigating two of the civil cases against the Trump SoHo’s developers.

Federal judges and prosecutors threatened them with prosecution for revealing that Sater was given an illegally light sentence for his crime, in secret. The judges even issued an order that gagged them from telling Congress about the judges’ own misconduct, but the attorneys persisted and are pursuing a civil law claim against the developers of Trump SoHo.

The attorney Richard Lerner has since written an extensive, fact-checked article about the harmful effects of secret sentencing in Law360 based on his wild experiences in the Trump SoHo case with Sater, who became an FBI informant against his mafia partners in the scheme.

The Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act is America’s top anti-mafia federal law and the threshold for violating the law is merely participating in a business which engages in a pattern of illegal or fraudulent behavior.

New York state also has a RICO law, which is not subject to the powers of the Presidential pardon and could be enforced by New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, alongside any federal investigation.

“The statute of limitations on RICO acts lasts for ten years from the last known act,” for RICO based upon bank fraud, according to lawyer Joshua Gold, who is licensed to practice in New York since 1999. “These emails are less than ten years old.”

Even though Trump’s participation in the project dates back to far more than ten years ago—and was far more than just licensing the family’s brand name—only criminal acts like hiding his partner’s felony count, start the clock ticking on the ten years a prosecutor could call forth a criminal case on the matter.

In another email, Mr. Sater envisioned a ribbon-cutting in Moscow. “I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected,” Mr. Sater wrote.

Mr. Cohen suggested that Mr. Sater’s comments were puffery. “He has sometimes used colorful language and has been prone to ‘salesmanship,’ ” Mr. Cohen said in a statement. “I ultimately determined that the proposal was not feasible and never agreed to make a trip to Russia.”

Mr. Sater presented himself as so influential in Russia that he helped arrange a 2006 trip that Mr. Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, took to Moscow. “I arranged for Ivanka to sit in Putins private chair at his desk and office in the Kremlin,” he said.

Trump won't even discuss his ties to Sater either

The worst part is they didn't resolve either war. Now they have 6 episodes to resolve 2 major wars. Season 8 is going to feel even more rushed than season 7.

Maybe they will all be extra long episodes like this one.

To later be followed up with film adaptations (probably a trilogy) that will condense everything into less than half a season's worth of screen time.

Antifa had been fighting against resurgence of Nazi groups for decades. They fought hard in Germany in the 70s and 80s. Now that these groups are showing their faces in the US and in many ways being condoned by the government, you're now hearing about antifa standing up against it.

This was from a week and a bit ago.

http://www.denverpost.com/2017/08/28/denver-area-arrest-neo-nazi-stabbing/

Turns out he bought the knife and hurt himself and made up a big ol' lie about it.

Police became skeptical of Witt’s story when they reviewed surveillance video and saw no one running from the scene. They also found a transient who lives in the area who matched the description Witt gave, but cleared him as a suspect.

Video from a nearby sporting goods store showed Witt purchasing a small knife.

When police confronted Witt with that information on Aug. 24, he admitted accidentally cutting himself with the knife while in his car parked in front of the store.

Witt was booked on a charge of false reporting to authorities and released. A conviction on the charge can result in a fine of up to $2,650 and up to one year in jail.

Prolly mostly pant suit warehouse spam.


Wait, are there email leaks from her that go beyond what was revealed in the investigation last year, or whenever? I stopped following this particular thread because I thought it was resolved.

It's going into how the emails were leaked, which is now looking like Trump campaign collusion with hackers

I've done Veg Week in April for a few years. It was hard.

Yeah it's certainly less convenient!

So I bought these vegan hot dogs to try. They're pretty spot on. They even have the gross hot dog smell in the package. Has to be the closest fake meat thing yet, it's so similar that it's kind of gross. Now I know

They inventory situation is atrocious and feels very outdated unless they've really fixed it.


What, how quickly the inventory fills up? It does very much fall prey to the problem of emphasizing loot quantity over quality, where the vast majority of what drops is utterly useless and you can't hope to ever start to pick it all up if you want to spend your time efficiently (or even entertainingly). You can make or download a loot filter that will hide or emphasize certain loot based on varying criteria, which works around that problem quite nicely, even if it would be nice to have less garbage dropping.

Diablo has really overhauled its loot system. Proximity autoloot, instant turning of items into crafting materials, special loot events like goblins, and a much larger overall inventory. Also much easier to evaluate upgrades. I just can't go to something that archaic it feels like being back in Diablo II and ew at that looting, especially in a loot focused game

I'm surprised it took until the end of season 7.

I occasionally fall asleep on the bus too. It's never a deep sleep, so if you take the same route often enough, you can usually tell by the turns the bus takes and when it stops.

It's virtually impossible to be pickpocketed without noticing if you're sitting down, and even if someone did try to take me phone, I'm always listening to music on it so I'll know immediately.

When you carry a purse or backpack it's very easy for someone to just get in a pocket and take things.

I've seen many animals die and have even had to take part in the euthanasia. And I don't just mean comforting an animal as it passes. I've also had animals die in my arms trying to get them help. Still have nightmares about some things.

I've only seen a few people pass.

Sometimes I do if I'm able to. Most times I'm not able to. But if I'm not feeling great I'll take a short nap after work and feel better.

Have you ever missed your stop because of it?

It's a weird thing but I used to notice regular commuters on the bus and train dozing and they would always wake up at a particular stop. Your brain knows. I'd be a lot more worried about pickpockets over missing a regular stop
