Just because some idiot is using a colander for a soup bowel and getting a few mouthfuls of soup doesn't mean it isn't manifestly unsuited for the task and not utterly wasteful.

in 2010 my premium was $500/mo for a policy w/a pre-existing condition exclusion rider, so doctor visits, Rx meds, etc. related to that was out-of-pocket w/no cap. I went to Europe every year to stock up bc same meds were OTC there. Meds + airfare + hotel was cheaper than 3 months of the Rx here.
LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.
HUNT: Right. But insurance companies could refuse to cover you for a preexisting condition
LANKFORD: That's true.

BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Humiliation rituals are a component of classism because it ties into that aspect of social control and psychological degradation. (A way to slowly chip at hierarchy of needs or an individual's ability to self actualize).

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.
Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.
You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.
