Yeah after skimming it the primary provisions look to be: they have to tip off the office of your investigation so you can cover things up as needed, with the exception of criminal investigations of senators themselves, which is interesting. Plus U.S. has to pay a ton of money to prior targets now

Especially since a huge percentage of American crops are bought and paid for by the government.
Guess where the huge majority of the taxes that go toward buying those crops come from?
That’s right: Blue states.

Also this guy suggesting that food is “shared” with other states (or countries) out of goodwill, as opposed to for pay:
Good luck eating your way through an exploding silo of soybeans.

It's so challenging to keep that in mind sometimes. Like I had to just stop reading his non academic stuff entirely

The authors find that the entirety of reduced spending — because HDHPs *do* reduce spending — came entirely from people seeking less care.
They weren't adept at distinguishing "high" and "low" value care; they scaled back all forms of care.

I am not happy with this Senate bullshit, but I am seeing “both parties are the saaaaaame” shit on more normal social media.
Too many supposedly left-of-center people don’t actually hate the Republican Party and it shows.

Seems pretty purposeful for the justices to drop this bomb after sending outlets scurrying to print unearned praise for rejecting the marriage equality appeal!
The Supreme Court will review an objectively insane 5th Circuit decision that prohibited states from counting ballots that were mailed before Election Day but arrive shortly after. (More than half the states have such laws.)
