I was born. I’ve moved around a bit. Married someone wonderful. Not dead yet. The rest are minutiae.

The hugely ironic part is, UnitedHealth has a net profit of 5.4%, but 16% Medicaid customers. Luigi won’t kill UnitedHealth, but RFK wants to.

The German election of 1932. Two variables shown: red is Protestant, green is Catholic, and height (up/down) is percentage voting for the Party Who Shall Not Be Named.
