Yeah between the price increase and losing our ACA credits, it’s completely inaccessible now.

I did do this for about 6 years I think. Eventually I think there was a democrat primary I really did want to vote in so I switched my affiliation back to Democrat. But maybe if we did it now it would have the added benefit of scaring the shit out of the party.

Thank you for the one bright spot in an otherwise extremely grim day.

Just spitballing here folks but been pushed to the limits where I feel like I need to start being way more strategic with my vote.

I’m starting to reconsider this youthful idea I had. It doesn’t seem to matter which democrat I vote for but if I vote in a Republican primary maybe I could at least keep another Trump from coming up in the ranks? In the general election I wouldn’t vote for the idiot I helped to win the primary

And we came to this solution because we bumped into a friend who has a similar issue and he and his partner came to the same conclusion that only one of them can get insurance this year. How fucked is it that couples are having to make these decisions?

And, even working this hard, I’m still not going to be able to afford our health insurance next year. This world is just nuts.

I think I angry posted for about two hours straight at these wretched 8 senators after I finished working yesterday. And sleeping was definitely full of stress nightmares. I’m just not sure how much more of this we can all take on top of our daily stress.

I love that knowing these idiots have no plan for fixing healthcare you caved anyway so that families like mine will go without healthcare. Due to your political weakness, my family is now at risk of dying for health issues. You should be ashamed & I hope the deaths that result from this haunt you.

I am thinking about it. I was thinking about maybe running a test class for a few weeks that was free just to see if I feel comfortable teaching in an online session? I always feel online can feel a little awkward so would only want to do it if it felt like the warm space I’m looking to create.

Yes.

100% accurate.

I still think there is more than this, there is no reason to have caved now unless there are other factors that we are not meant to know about.
