i am judgmental & i think that a former university president & cabinet official should be able to correctly use “didn’t” rather than “dint”

“we’re working on getting this ghostwritten article into the hill or politico so that we can all circulate it to our benefit & here’s who we’re calling the author”

this is not, like, unheard of behavior but i don’t usually see it just written out like that

this is all i can get from any of the links for exemption forms, including on two freshly updated windows machines, one using a vpn so that i appeared to be in texas

the call center person did not have helpful information

perhaps i'll try another call tonight

do i have adobe reader? yes, it's even adobe reader 9
can i open the form in it? no
can i open it in preview? also no
can i open it on my phone? nope

follow up on this:

scott got his radioactive infusion
i couldn’t take scrolling back all the way for the full arc but this comment suggests that perhaps treatment was appropriately lined up but there was inadequate communication

(which i agree is horrible for anyone in this situation)

no, scott, you’re not wrong
November 9, 2025 at 4:04 AM
this seems like someone’s very specific beef with either children or union bosses

not sure why asking the president is going to expedite scheduling a radioactive infusion

i wonder if he signed a release for the president or if a tweet counts

anyway, he did at least stop the ivermectin

also this weirdness with the catastrophic plans
which are also usable w an hsa

i was wrong, it was the same cost share on the hdhp
here are the 2025 plans for comparison, with the tax credit/total cost

the default silver deductible didn’t go up as much as i thought but the total premium actually went down
November 1, 2025 at 10:10 PM
option 1: high deductible w hsa. the cost share has gone up from 25% iirc
option 2: the default silver plan which… that was not the deductible last year
