My company provides good healthcare coverage (I wish healthcare access was not tied to employment but here we are). Today we were notified that our coverage is being discontinued “to align focus on the evolving needs of members and to invest in innovative products to deliver greater value” Luigi?

Markets are good at some things. Providing healthcare, education, or criminal justice are not among them.

Went to get my car washed in D.C. this afternoon. A cop car shows up and everyone freezes, ready to run. The cops stay in their car, watching, and eventually leave. The workers grimly go back to washing cars in silence. It’s tense out there and I fucking hate what this country has become.
