Never forget that the Weimar Republic's constitution was still technically in place while Nazi Germany committed its atrocities. Anyone who thinks the US will be any different is living in a pipe dream. :/

This is so disgusting. The CEO of Bricks and Minifigs is using their ties in the Mormon community in Utah to weaponize the police department against someone just trying to help an old man get his Legos back. >:(

Though she practices yoga and is healthy, Miller said she still feels "vulnerable." If she lands in the hospital, her plan pays a flat $2,000, a fraction of the $30,000 price tag of an average hospital stay.

"I don't gamble. But I may as well," she said. "This is gambling."

Congress' decision late last year not to extend the enhanced tax credits has boosted the appeal of alternatives to comprehensive insurance. Unlike plans sold on the exchanges, these options — some sold by major insurers, others by small companies or nonprofits — can deny claims with few or no legal rights for consumers to appeal. The plans are not required to cover "essential health benefits," such as preventive care, and can impose annual or lifetime caps on benefits.

Who remembers the tanker war of the '80s?

Kind of interesting how a number of Harry Chapin's songs are straight-up #Cassandra shit.

Silly child—
Everybody knows the rock leans over the town
Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground
Remember Chicken Little said the sky was falling down
Well nothing ever came of that, the world still whirls around

"The rock is gonna fall on us," he stood and told the class
The professor put his chalk down and peered out through his glasses
But he went on and said; "I've seen it, high up on the hill
If it doesn't fall this year then very soon it will!"

Crazy boy—
Everybody knows the rock leans over the town
Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground
We've more important studies than your fantasies and fears
You know that rock's been perched up there for a hundred thousand years

"The rock is gonna fall on us." He told the magistrates
"I believe that we can stop it but the time is getting late
You see I've done all the research my plans are all complete."
He was showing them contingencies when they showed him to the street

Just a madman—
Everybody knows the rock leans over the town
Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground
Everybody knows of those who say the end is near
Everybody knows that life goes on as usual round here

He went up on the mountain beside the giant stone
They knew he was insane so they left him all alone
He'd given up enlisting help for there was no one else
He spent his days devising ways to stop the rock himself
One night while he was working building braces on the ledge
The ground began to rumble the rock trembled on the edge

"The rock is gonna fall on us! Run or you'll all be crushed!"
And indeed the rock was moving, crumbling all to dust
He ran under it with one last hope that he could add a prop
And as he disappeared the rock came to a stop

The people ran into the street but by then all was still
The rock seemed where it always was or where it always will be
When someone asked where he had gone they said: "Oh he was daft
Who cares about that crazy fool." And then they'd start to laugh

But high up on the mountain
When the wind is hitting it
If you're watching very closely
The rock slips a little bit

The suggestion comes after Iranian warnings that several important cables in the strait were a vulnerable point for economies in the Middle East.

Iran’s comments expose an invisible foundation of the internet and globalisation itself: the web of more than 500 undersea cables that carries more than 95% of international data traffic.

We may think the internet lives in a kind of virtual cloud. But its physical underpinnings are vulnerable – and that vulnerability is becoming a very real geopolitical concern.

Billionaires have the exact class solidarity that they've convinced the working class they don't need. >:(

We investigated Epstein’s emails and his billionaire network.

From Peter Thiel to Reid Hoffman to Leon Black, the Epstein class is still here, it's bipartisan, and it's extremely powerful.
