I feel like a large part of the reason insurance doesn't cover it is because cluster headaches aren't that well known or studied. We don't know what the cause is. We only know that for some reason huffing on 15/L per minute of oxygen works.

I bet they would cover imitrex injections for them, or a blood pressure medication that for some reason seems to work for some people when taken at high doses. But not cheap ass oxygen. It's weird.

seems like a stupid reason they are not doctors

why do they have a say again?
too bad a large majority of people (old people) would fight against the interest to remove them from having a say :(

https://www.dailysabah.com/world/europe/thousands-march-in-paris-over-rising-prices-macrons-pension-reform

Thousands of people hit the streets of the French capital Paris on Saturday as they demonstrated against President Emmanuel Macron for rising prices and pension reform.
The yellow vest movement, largely dormant since violent anti-Macron street protests in 2018 and 2019, held the march through central Paris, though turnout was low.
Jamal Bouaban, a member of the "yellow vests" movement, said despite a relatively weak turnout, the group achieved its goal to confirm that their voices have not disappeared and Macron's government should hear their demands and take them seriously.
"We went out today for the sake of all the French who are dying of hunger because of the high prices that they can no longer afford," he said, vowing to organize more demonstrations.
Meanwhile, a doctors' strike recently became another issue for France as medical professionals are on a second work stoppage from Jan. 2 to 8.
Earlier Thursday, doctors gathered in Paris to demand better working conditions. Thousands of demonstrators marched to the Health Ministry and observed a minute of silence to commemorate interns who have committed suicide.
France has been suffering from a "triple epidemic" of the coronavirus, flu and bronchiolitis. The number of patients has increased in emergency departments, causing long waiting times.
General practitioners, considered the second pillar of the French health care system, began striking on Dec. 26, asking for better working conditions and the authority to raise fees charged to patients.

Origin
The earliest origin of the copypasta originated around March 4th, 2021, during the release of the Final Fantasy XIV Free Trial website. Final Fantasy XIV's YouTube channel release three advertising videos of a woman encouraging people to play the free trial of Final Fantasy XIV.

Fans have later used The Critically Acclaimed MMORPG as a advertising copypasta meme that quote:
Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime.
Final Fantasy XIV's English Twitter page tweeted about The Critically Acclaimed MMORPG later on April 17th, 2021.

The classes are all relatively balanced, so you don't really have an overwhelming advantage with one over another. Also, that doesn't really matter anyways because you can actually level and play every single class on one character as well.

samurai, but you gotta get into the expansion before you can unlock it

black mage seems like it is as well but in actual high level content it is actually not because black mage is about sitting in one spot as much as you can but raids are designed to encourage you to move around as much as possible

low level content though black mage is pretty brain dead

I care most about player activity more than anything else. Like in other MMOs you can't no party quests in any part of the early games.

Simple. Join a free company and be friendly and usually you got tons of people to play with you.

That said you CAN play ffxiv almost entirely solo except most people don't do that. Around I think lvl 16 you get dungeons which you queue to join 3 other people. Then later you get stuff where you queue up with 7 other people. Then content you do with 23 other people.

I've been fiending to play an MMORPG lately. Is this worth it?

It literally is the best Final Fantasy and even has fanservice to other Final Fantasies.
And truthfully the story gets so good I would call it the best video game story I have experienced.

However, the caveat to that is it takes alot and i mean alot of time to get to that payoff because it is several years of expansion content and buildup.

At first the story goes slow but even those parts will payoff later.
But if you dread sitting through cutscenes and paying attention you will be one of those who are like "I don't get why people like ffxiv!"

But it also has great waifus and an amazing character customization

So according to this table: https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy#Games

The previous most profitable game was X and X-II, with 7 (as a series) being just below that and 11 being just below 7.

FF7 by itself is, funny enough, now 7th from the top.

Gotta remember FF7 also had the most merchandise and spinoffs. Not sure they put those numbers in cause they can't know them.

The fact that Republican voters don't even realize how horrible this is for 97% of them is proof of the inability of Conservative Ideology to propagate actual evidence-based civic education.

Consumption Tax is one of the most punitive forms of common taxation for the poor aside from a straight up Poll Tax

yep

the whole point of this is someone like Elon could sell every single stock the day it passes and pay 0 tax, which he cannot do currently.
All the billionaires would do it.
This would devastate stocks.

Meanwhile going and buying some medicine at the grocer would be heavily taxed. Yet these billionaires would find loopholes like import goods or just make their own. All there now realized actual cash would barely be spent and horded away in some bank to collect interest or something.

Goldman Sachs will start laying off thousands of employees from Wednesday, two sources familiar with the move said Sunday.

Morgan Stanley and Citigroup, among others, have also cut jobs after a plunge in investment-banking activity.
The moves come after Wall Street dealmakers handling mergers, acquisitions and initial public offerings faced a sharp drop in their businesses in 2022 as rising interest rates roiled markets.
Global investment banking revenue sank to $15.3 billion in the fourth quarter, down more than 50% from a year-earlier quarter, according to data from Dealogic.

NEW YORK, Jan 10 (Reuters) - U.S. banking giants are forecast to report lower fourth quarter profits this week as lenders stockpile rainy-day funds to prepare for an economic slowdown that is battering investment banking.
Four American banking giants -- JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N), Bank of America Corp (BAC.N), Citigroup Inc (C.N) and Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) -- will report earnings on Friday.
Along with Morgan Stanley (MS.N) and Goldman Sachs (GS.N), they are the six largest lenders expected to amass a combined $5.7 billion in reserves to prepare for soured loans, according to average projections by Refinitiv. That is more than double the $2.37 billion set aside a year earlier.
"With most U.S. economists forecasting either a recession or significant slowdown this year, banks will likely incorporate a more severe economic outlook," said Morgan
