Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.

Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .

Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?

Thoughts ?

This is a great question for all of congress to think about.

Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ?

Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates
I wonder how much the dissolution of FEMA and cancellation of flooding infrastructure programs is going to increase insurance premiums?

Especially as the population ages, inflation spikes, and a large % of housing stock is used as short term rentals in high risk areas.

Certain amount of irony here…Hey! You stole stuff from us after we stole stuff from other people!

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/
