I'm in NC and just this morning got a deposit of about 65% of my monthly allowance (normally, funds are deposited on the 17th of the month)

I'm on Medicaid, and my script copay suddenly doubled with no explanation a few weeks ago.

I saw one I can't locate right now that was 700%, but I'm sure there's a range (fortunately -- or maybe not -- I'm on medicaid). But you're right, there has got to be a growing disconnect between what they're saying and what people are seeing in monthly expenses. The smokescreen is wafting away.

Their constituents are starting to get next year's rate increases in the mail (which I'm seeing approaching 1000%) and I'll bet their phones are starting to light up

Thank you for this consistently excellent strip, I look forward to it every morning

Yeah, my extended family has a condo at the far north end of Cherry Grove, and when I go there I stay there. Last time I went out some guys came into the restaurant and paraded around waving Trump flags in people's faces, and the staff just smiled and laughed.

I've found that culantro (aka recao or ngo gai) is less soapy, but otherwise similar. I've cooked with it for my mom, who can't stand cilantro, and she liked it.

people who want other people to stay in sad little grey boxes forever and never be happy in their bodies or desires are villains and cowards and they may be winning right now but by god they will lose as water smooths stone and roots break it, because that fierce joy is roots and water and life

He "deserves" to never be given a public platform to spread his hate ever again. Praise? What is wrong with you?

I got this too. I live in North Carolina, six hours from this place. It's absurd.

The Sagrada Família, on a scale that I could not possibly finish it in my lifetime.

My local human-operated Bojangles drive-thru is perhaps the most efficient fast-food delivery system in existence, why on earth are they doing this (I know, money)

The Palliative

Those replies were the most satisfying blocking binge I've had in a while. I feel refreshed.

The Medicaid expansion literally saved my life.
