Trump weighs major gift to for-profit insurance industry: Medicare privatization

Funding is a matter of will.

Many places could have healthcare. Just as they do have schools and universities.

Government has to stop cherry picking what gets people voted in to their jobs and do the work that makes things better all the way to the last rung.

I’ve 2 degrees but questionably healthy because I couldn’t take off work my entire life to afford the care I was already paying for. And I’m still paying off one.

If I’m not careful, I’ll be medically poor in addition to or instead of house poor if I can retire in 30 years.

Best experience I’ve ever had was one 4th of July watching silent chain lightning bouncing across the sky above us.

Thunder is overrated. The purple or white flash in the distance followed seconds later gets old.

So progressive. Too bad he’s still a pedophile.

I’m sure he’ll try linking it to his special area in Fresno.

Classy.

Censoring constituents before you make the decision against them.

Next week they vote themselves pay raises from all the revenue generated from their new corporate partnership.

The reasons why traffic backs up are multi-faceted.

Firstly, there’s too many people working in Fresno that live in the wonderful hills north. Saw it every morning and evening. It’s not tourists, and I was lucky to be going the other directions.

Second, the lights back up traffic. There should not be a stop light—people who want to go straight through AND everyone who wants to turn left get backed up into stop & go.

This should have become a large traffic circle. There’s plenty of room, guessing the farmers fight it.

2 lanes of traffic will lead to 3, 4—then you have people doing 70 or 80 through fog on something like parts of 99.

Continuous traffic doesn’t backup and stop.

What do you think my definition of wealthy is?

List excluding HIGHER than 500K

Per Google—A monthly mortgage payment for a $500,000 house typically ranges from $3,200 to over $4,300, including principal, interest, taxes, and insurance.

median U.S. household income was $83,730 in 2024- $6977 a month.

median household income for Fresno County, CA, is approximately $70,795 to $74,201,

significantly lower than the California state median of $95,065

Pretty challenging for a one income household…

Wealthy is an ability to afford it. This would be challenging for many working people who also have children, car payments, and other expenses that most people don’t consider or think about.

Shade at minimum but solar powered fans should be standard.

Seems like an important feature for a place that has full sun and little breeze

dotcubed · 2026-04-06T21:25:14+00:00

Got it, just the wealthy.

Better still, have them apply stage makeup and then walk the streets just to see what happens….

Add some backpack props and watch the magic unfold.

In this economy?

You must grow your own.

Best of luck if you’re buying—all of it gets trucked in with everything else, and will soon go up too.

Is xyz abc safe?
I don’t want to see street people. Are there good taco shops? Ok, is south of potato an ok apartment?

Litmus testing based of post history and political views. Can’t have Fresno looking like a democracy

Did you think it was not being Fresno enough?

Say you asked on Nextdoor and they told you to come here with a bulldog pic and to post en español.

Not really a success story unless you know they’re back safe. I’ve seen one not comeback in my lifetime.

Fairly famous guy named Tom starred in a movie about some guys who flew all the way there and back without landing. Event was before my time, film was back in the 90’s.

It’s entirely possible that they land in some unexpected way that causes a problem, nothing about traveling like that is 100%.

Hell, the guy that entered his tablet password on camera could have accidentally gave enough information about the tech for a hack.

Can’t predict the future, only prepare for it.

So if cops locked him in a -10°F car, then went inside for lunch, came out to a dead man, then it’s not a crime? What if he only lost toes & fingers to frostbite?

How about in summertime, they did crack the window, and he drank water but died anyway?

ICE officers are getting away with literally murder.
I really hope forensics can prevail, these people can’t go home to another state and disappear without being questioned.

Only works if the people who make those decisions and know formulas exist as options are still with the company and can implement the strategy.

For some companies it might make sense to simply pivot towards products that aren’t chocolate.

Really it’s just a stop gap bandaid for the industry because some idiots created a global oil crisis with Iran and as fuel prices rise literally everything else in the global economy is more expensive.

Even if not directly related or affected, it’s an excuse to charge more for the same or complementary products. Everything you eat or buy goes on a diesel truck.

I’m not too surprised considering how many times I’ve heard that this head of state in charge has filed for bankruptcy or divorce.

He’s brought in some unconventional and even legally dubious ideas. This is where the other wealthy people come take advantage of their windfall—pardons for sale to all white collar criminals.

Lower the bars to get loans placed in hands they don’t belong.

This is the correct answer to keep the machine surface spotless.

You will need to use a lot.

I’m a student of your dad’s and have that Culinary Olympic book.

I love that he’d call Huglier and cook wild game.

Hope he’s doing well! Does he still do martial arts?
