That's a prosperous looking home with that vehicle and all. How many Jamaicans can afford to put up panels? Do they have to own their homes to do so? Do their homes need to be very sturdy, not shacks?

I am dealing w/ a health insurance issue that is destroying my soul. I have two insurances (day job + WGA). They both keep denying EVERY SINGLE CLAIM saying they're not the primary. The day job is temporary so I can't just cancel the other insurance or I won't have any when the job ends.

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!
