Just over 15 years ago, when the Democrat-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate were debating the healthcare proposals offered by the Democrat president, nearly everyone on the political right was unified in opposition. It may well have been the last time the right was united on anything, but it was indeed unified and resolute.

Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (MN) warned that “This monstrosity of a bill will not only destroy the private healthcare market, it will lead to massive increases in premiums and rationed care.” Congressman (and eventual vice-presidential nominee and Speaker of the House) Paul Ryan (WI) complained that “This bill is a fiscal Frankenstein. It’s a government takeover that will explode costs and kill jobs.” Senator (and Republican Leader) Mitch McConnell (KY) insisted that Americans “want reforms that lower costs, not a trillion-dollar government experiment.”

Even the Heritage Foundation — in the news lately for purportedly exacerbating rifts in the conservative coalition — likewise agreed with everyone in the movement, insisting that Obamacare was a disaster waiting to happen and would keep none of the promises that it made, all while destroying what was good and valuable in the private insurance market.

More than a decade later, when it was clear that the system was in trouble and that only greater government intervention and spending could save it, the Heritage Foundation took something of a victory lap, detailing Obamacare’s manifest failures and arguing that it was long past time to scrap the whole experiment.

The ACA dramatically increased health insurance premiums and cost-sharing in the individual market…
The ACA collapsed insurer competition in the nation’s individual markets…
The ACA failed to meet official enrollment targets in the individual markets…
The ACA is pricing middle-class Americans out of individual market coverage…
The ACA expanded government coverage while wrecking the private individual health insurance market…
The ACA compromised access to care for persons — including those with pre-existing medical conditions — enrolled in the nation’s individual markets…
The ACA failed—and failed miserably to attract young people into the exchange insurance pools…
The ACA’s vaunted delivery reforms did not yield the anticipated savings.

Trump floated the idea of giving low- and middle-income Americans a direct payment of $2,000 rather than providing a subsidy that is paid to insurance companies.

That would allow people to purchase their own insurance, Trump said in a Nov. 8 social media post. The president added that this would avoid putting more money into a health coverage system that, he said, provided inferior health coverage.

The White House is in discussion with lawmakers about the idea, Trump told reporters on Nov. 14.

“I’ve had personal talks with some Democrats,” he said, adding that the plan would allow consumers to negotiate their own price with an insurer.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) is drafting legislation for a similar plan now. His plan would send money directly to individual Health Savings Accounts, much like Trump suggested.

“They can use it to spend on healthcare, so they can buy direct health care, or they can buy insurance, or [use it for] a co-payment or deductible,” Scott told Reporters on Nov. 10.

Consumers could use the funds to buy any plan authorized by their state’s insurance commission, he added.

Republicans generally have been reluctant to extend the enhanced subsidies without also addressing abuse of the Obamacare system, which they say rose dramatically after those subsidies were introduced.

The expiration date indicates that the subsidies were not considered a long-term solution, Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said in a Fox News interview on Nov. 16.

“It creates incentives for fraud,” he said.

“Instead of paying insurance companies to manage our money, let’s trust Americans to manage their own care — with a pre-funded Federal Flexible Spending Account,” he said.

A Flexible Spending Account is similar to a Health Savings Account but is not owned by the individual and does not roll over from year to year.

Commercial health insurance premiums have risen every year since 2008, according to Health System Tracker, a data collection site run by the nonprofits The Peterson Center on Healthcare and KFF.

Truth is there is good things about each generation. Each generation being different.

1950s was the era of middle class prosperity and rapid growing technological advances.
1960s was the era of love, drugs, swinging and parties.
1970s was the era of growing up with free will, rugged freedom and the golden age of rock music and hard partying.
1980s was the era for consumer choice, the free market thrived, working did not absolutely suck either.
1990s was the era growing up with the early internet, tons of video games and holiday parties were still very common.
2000s was there era of entertainment media proliferation, bit torrent and p2p piracy, personal computers were getting more powerful for users and average consumers.
2010s was a more digital era where everyone had everything at their finger tips, the golden age of streaming media and online file sharing.
2020s I can't honestly think of much good other than we hit peak ability to consume endless entertainment and the proliferation of alternative media, and well fuck is booze cheap today!

Reminder that the newest Revival of Beavis & Butthead is coming out in August 2025!

Beavis and Butt-Head are set for more wild adventures. Comedy Central has renewed “Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head” for Season 3, which will air on the network in 2025, TheWrap has learned.

After MTV commissioned a full series around the characters, “Beavis and Butt-Head” ran for seven seasons, from March 8, 1993 to Nov. 28, 1997. The series was revived in 2011 with an eighth season airing on MTV, and then revived again in 2022 with the Paramount+ series “Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head.”

The show’s popularity has spawned various related media, including the theatrical film “Beavis and Butt-Head Do America” in 1996.

The newest version marks the second time “Beavis and Butt-Head” has been brought back to television. After it originally ended in 1997 after seven seasons, MTV revived it for an eighth season in 2011.

There were some funny ones, typical Beavis and Butthead with a twist, some episodes show them all grown up middle aged but they are the same kind of stupid. If you liked the old episodes you should like these too.

The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV Camera (Digital Camera Present ideas on a budget for Christmas) Anonymous 11/18/2025 (Tue) 10:22 [Preview] No. 72521 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]
Hello,

I've been in need of replacing my Olympus PEN E-P1 I've had since it originally came out (funny enough got it for, I think, a Christmas present in 2009) and since that time been into Photography on and off since up until a few years ago where i had become a lot more serious about it.

but now I'm in serious need of a new one it's completely Cooked you try setting it to shutter it goes to aperture you try setting it to manual it goes to video and keep switching between the two continuously, and yes I have taken it to a used camera shop well both of those ones in Chester and both of the guys in there stated that the hardware is more than likely quite possibly utterly fried and it'll be really difficult and expensive to try and repair

So, I've had a very long look, study and research for more than a year now on Digital Cameras to ask for myself for Christmas and I am more than not opting for the Olympus camera for Christmas, I have had a look at other Cameras the same prince (like Panasonic, Lumix, Fuji, Sony and Pentax which are some of my other favs) and the Mark IV is the one I'm most interested in over the others but before I do ask for it for Christmas just wanted to get a second (or in this case) a few dozen options

here is just one of the many many places where I looked into and got my information on the cameras from

Pretty much. Ukraine has been big on money embezzleing ever since the actor turned current president took over the country. Shit sux since I actually know some people from there and they tell me how shit's been fucked for a while.
