This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Trump hit imported cars with a 25% tariff. He then demanded that those companies not increase car prices as a result.
He has no authority over their pricing & Toyota isn't gonna eat $8k per Camry.
Do not comply in advance. He's trying to keep Tesla from collapsing & taking Pres. Musk with it.

Young folk, did you know that the ACA got rid of something called Pre-Existing Conditions? Before the ACA, insurance companies could deny care or coverage because you had any number of conditions (even unrelated ones to what you needed care for), including simply being pregnant!
Thanks Obama!

A friend in Florida stopped at a 7-Eleven to use restroom. Sign on the door said "real women only", and she had to get a key from the guy at the counter who then gave her a "gender check", looking her up and down...in order to get the key.
I'm mad. And just as mad that I'm in Oklahoma right now.

Measles parties - the deliberate act of exposing oneself or one's child to an infected person to build immunity. Do we really need to say this? They're a bad idea.

This flu feels like a whole other pandemic right now. I work at a rural hospital, and we are at the point where we literally can not take patients because there's too many staff out sick to care for them.
