On the one hand, millions of ppl bankrupted by health costs and the rest facing insurance markets in a death spiral, on the other hand the chance to bring back this classic bit

But non zero chance some brave states decide to give fixing this at the state level a try if things get bad enough

When I've spoken to Israeli friends about what they think *motivation* for Oct 7 or hezb involvement or Yemen missiles is, answers are always either "no way to know" or full on race essentialism ie "they are all animals"
