New theory - everything is healthcare costs

Kay Sutula, Director of the Office Management and Budget, stated that healthcare and prescription costs had increased by 34% from October 2024 to October 2025. Should this trend continue through November and December, staff projects an annual expenditure of $45.6 million by the end of the year.

See if you can get the Dianping app. It's like Chinese Yelp and only in Mandarin, but you can get discounts at restaurants. I remember it being a pain to set up without a Chinese phone number.

"This ICE-snitching app is actually promoting a meme coin" is actually the exact sort of headline I was expecting to see every week for the next four years if Trump won.

my life is vacuous and devoid of meaning and what will get me meaning is a life doing the same repetitive industrial task for 12-14 hours a day, six days a week until I am 54 and the polio finally gets my mobility

Big companies are usually okay and will do safety things even with no one forcing them - people getting crippled is bad for productivity and they have more money to lose in lawsuits. As with most businesses, the small ones are the worst.
