I don't know who needs to hear this, but always be careful using custodial wallets.

If you don't hold your private keys, it's not really your mone.

I enjoy cross-pollinating with discussions across the political spectrum, but confusing Gordon Gecko with Milton Friedman is definitely one of the dangers of discussion with the extreme left.

Finally, they're making the ballsy and correct argument that this is a first amendment violation.

Also, they just issued a system-wide update.

We pay way too much for health care in the US, and somehow the buildings the insurance companies work in keep growing while the public reaps less and less benefit from a shrinking healthcare workforce.

I don't know if it was all broken before, during or after ACA, but whatever's happening to the law will cause no tears to shed from my eyes.

... but for the most part, putting a fraction of what an insurance payment *would be* (around $2400-4800 a month) into a savings account has helped us pay for all medical bills, small and big, over the years (including a recent Achilles rupture my wife had).

And by the way, when I say "afford," I mean "be able to justify paying for it.

I've missed out on some super expensive treatments that I would be able to get with insurance (like treatment for my psoriatic skin condition)...

I understand a lot of people are upset about the ACA's impending doom, but I've not been able to afford health insurance at all, as a freelancer with a family of four in Texas, since its passage.

I'm not an insurance expert, and correlation <> causation, but I remain suspicious.

Tik Tok looks like they're taking the ban a little more seriously. They're offering monetary incentives to get me to spam my inbox with invites.

I know I'm not the main character, because people always come up to me years later apologetically telling me how badly things went when they didn't heed my advice.
