At what point does Bernie go to the “I couldn’t tank the market anymore than the current guy!”

I think the market is starting to react to Bern this way now.  I think its:
40% Reacting in concert with global exchanges;
20% Coronavirus reaction as it pertains to the US economy specifically;
20% Bernie Election;
20% Locking in a correction for a base to build from with a Trump re-election.

Granted, the first two are essentially tied together for the majority what's happening.

I have to be up for work in like 5 and a half hours and have a big day tomorrow, yet here I am just cruising Google images of Indiana's Assembly Hall. Just been looking at it for at least 30 minutes because I absolutely love it. LOVE IT. It's so unlike any other. It's beautiful. Who been there?

Not for game, but a couple of graduations in the family.  It doesn't take much to imagine the pressure of a crowd towering over you as those seats go straight up. Mizzou's old Hearns Center back in the day was a somewhat similar, but far lesser experience.

And of course, the mid-campus location.

It's really not any more of a "mid-campus" location than Bramlage. There are some residence halls up there, but most of campus is South of the railroad tracks

Yeah - That is true.  Although there is * a lot* of student residential up there; somewhat like how the university has grown northward to fill in and around Bramlage, but more so.  I'm just of the vintage from when it was built and recall the jarring experience getting there compared to Ahearn.  OK Boomer....

I'm guessing the guy with the Seahawks t-shirt just picked that up at a thrift store, and doesn't actually attend games at a massive hole in the sky, err, stadium and parking lot complex.

Significant odds that any Bernie/Trump debate might actually involve actual fisticuffs.

So, wait, there was climate change that would have affected the dinosaurs before the asteroid hit?  So like natural climate change was happening, because of CO2 emissions?  Am I reading this article correctly?  SO if humans did the same thing in creating excess CO2 emissions that would be a big deal, right?  Might repeat history?

Yes, Asteroids attracted by excess CO2.

When winning the popular vote is less than 30% of eligible voters, that's not a solution either. 70% of the country would have a direct claim of "I didn't vote for them."

A lot of people in deep red and blue states don’t vote for president because they know their vote won’t get counted.

Considering it would take 50+ million additional over Hillary's 65 million to get across the 50% of eligible voting eligible persons, I would say it's something more than just "my vote won't count cause I'm in state 'x'."

I didn't say it was an argument *for* the EC, but against the "popular" vote as its thrown about today. Pat yourself, bub.

Except his opening illustration applies more so to a non-term limited congress than the term limited presidency.  Also somewhat LOL singling out Trump to compare to Washington - who made an intentionally limited weak presidency strong by his persona versus the run we've had of weak personas failing to live up to the outsized authority we've endowed the office with and envision that they had.

Prince and Raheem met thru a NFL internship program iirc

I think there was something about Prince/Morris/Franklin having an informal pact to hire each other onto the staff of whoever got a HC gig first.

Not up to date on free kick rules, but would the proper response for the receiving team be to bat it out of bounds?  Or is that a penalty?

Do we have the details of anyone's plan to say this will definitely be the case?

I honestly don't know, but following the differential of coverage prices on the private side, if they aren't included, its another 10-15% or so either out of individuals pockets or on top of costs already estimated.  If we're going to go all the way with MFA or a public buy in option, then we should probably go all the way and include the Dental\Vision. 

Will have to do some digging to see if anyone has been specific enough one way or the other.

According to Sanders' 2017 MFA bill it seems would; MFA at least as Sanders proposed it is actually Medicare A (hospitalization) + Medicare B (diagnostic/preventative) + Medicare D (prescriptions) + Supplemental (dental/vision) at the minimum.

Quick, honest question:  Is the "Medicare for All" world including dental and vision services?  IOW your common Medigap supplemental policies that aren't really Medicare but are commonly part of private insurance?

 :dunno: doubt it

Can you elaborate on this "Medigap supplemental policies that aren't really Medicare but are commonly part of private insurance?" Every job I've had has provided these as separate pieces. Delta Dental seems to have a monopoly on this and hoooo boy it's shows in those markets.

Yeah, they are essentially the same type of additional coverage, just that a lot of private/employer sponsored plans include it at least as an opt-in or opt-out, with that pricing presented up front.  More or less a one-stop shopping experience.

In the Medicare world, these are totally separate private insurance contracts that need to be shopped for by individuals.  It would be a huge perceptual hurdle to have a Medicare tax increase, or whatever upfront funding mechanism, and still have individuals need to shop private insurance for dental/vision.

What a repugnant POS


In addition to bringing up civil war, he's talked about charging a congressman with treason and ignoring laws protecting whistle blowers.

Today was the day Mr. Trump became president.
