“Don’t be mean. We don’t have to be mean.”

Yeah. I’m not sure I believe the “fix is in” reading of events, but I don’t think that matters.

Yeah.

I hate them so much and used high deductible plans much longer than I should have just to do the HSA instead.

I hate them with a fiery passion. I have had them sometimes but they make me crazy, and I did high deductible plans much longer than I should have just because of that.

Ty for remembering those of us without the fucking fsa!

One of my best friends now drives a school bus and he has Opinions.

100%

That worked in my favor _once._ I was laid off in February and I was able to use the whole thing even though I only paid in 2 months.

I do have an HSA, kept from prior years (my current plan can’t) and unattached to any employer or insurance plan. It’s in Fidelity.

I lowkey have a life goal not to touch it until I am very old. That shit is triple-deferred. (No tax on contributions, no tax on earnings, no tax on withdrawals.)

Done. Idk if it’s too late or not. :/

I called my less-good senator first but I did get both.

I miss that bit.

(I had typed “bot,” but it was a good bit, too!)

What is — no don’t tell me, idunwannaknow

I fed them as soon as I woke up (4:30, this is normal now) instead of waiting for their regular breakfast time (6:00). They get breakfast that early once a week before I go to an early class.

They would clearly like breakfast that early every day, but they’re not obstreporous.

If any of your people rely on SNAP in Wisconsin, look, if it were me, I'd tell them to get to a grocery store _tonight_
