the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

Seconded.
Both my kids were delivered by C-section so this gets me, y'know? And no one gets up one day saying, "I think I wanna be a sucker!" I know I could get fooled or scammed by the right pitch... all you can do is be alert, I guess.
But damn.

When millions of people are suffering and dying because they cannot access health care, it is a moral wrong. It's also going to have catastrophic intergenerational repercussions. So many of us already can't afford food, housing, and other basic needs and this is a recipe for disaster.

If a budget deal goes through without restoring Medicaid & ACA subsidies, they will never be restored.
That's a death sentence for millions of Americans but also to the entire republic and economy: Health care is a for-profit business generating TREMENDOUS economic activity & will grind to a halt.
