trump is sending $500 checks to people utilizing the ACA in battleground states with a letter stating that Biden 'overcharged' them through the system. They're only being sent to swing states. This is blatant vote purchasing, and not one fucking thing will happen to him over it.

I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

Mike Rogers told Michiganders he was an assembly line autoworker who made Chrysler LeBarons. Turns out it was a complete lie. Shameful.
michiganadvance.com
Mike Rogers claims he was an assembly line worker. The UAW said that is stretching the truth. • Michigan Advance
Rogers says he built Chrysler vehicles on an assembly line. Records show his work was at an aftermarket facility that modified vehicles after they left the factory.

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.
