My wife and I are partners.
We share finances but split responsibilities.
One of the things she handles is our health insurance. That means the monthly premium. The phone calls. The disputes. The endless back-and-forth when the same charge magically shows up twice.

Trump is gutting car mileage standards, the same as adding 165 million cars off the roads for one year. His new rule will require only an average of 34.5mpg for cars and light trucks in model year 2031, down from the standard of 50.4 mpg set by Biden. This new rule continues Trump’s war on EVs.
