I think ownship regs aren't as "Dunning-Kruger-able" as 1st Amendment issues. eg. Robert Kraft's actions against Macklemore are not a 1st Ammendment violation. But that doesn't stop people from stating it is.

I'm amazed they never blame Clinton and The Telecommunications Act of 1996. I'm not sure if it's because blaming Clinton doesn't fall into their narrative vs blaming Reagan. Or is it just "fairness doctrine" is easier to remember than "Telecommunications Act of 1996"

Are we gonna do this every year forever now? Anyone can be nominated. You can be nominated. There are thousands of people who can nominate. The Nobel committee does not acknowledge nominations for 50 years because it's meaningless.

Germany did or Allied forces?? We, have no allied forces to liberate us and there will still be his 30% of America that worship him. We never eradicated the Confederate mindset and it's still with us 150+ years later and that was without social media to stoke it's fire. MAGA will be here forever.

She wasn't "duped" She knew he was a convicted felon She knew he was found guilty, by a jury, of sexual assault She knew he was a racist She knew he bankrupted casinos She knew he was twice impeached She knew he called the GA secretary of state to make up election results She wasn't duped.

Until your deductible is paid in full, the $200 will appear there. After that, the Co-pay amount will be 20% and the Benefit amount 80% but they absolutely make you pay the full deductible before they pay a cent.

mbaumser.bsky.social @mbaumser.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Okay, you're mistaken. The Ins company negotiates a rate for service with the Dr or Hospital. The Hospital might charge $500 for an x-ray. Your E.O.B. will say $500 Total Charge. Then $200 "Allowed Amount" (the negotiated price), then the Deductible amount and Benefit Amount. 1/2

mbaumser.bsky.social @mbaumser.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Wow, you have really great insurance with only $200 deductible. Mine is $2500 every year and then 20% until my out-of-pocket max, $6000. And that's on top of monthly premiums.

I just did a quick look on Expedia. Round trip from NYC to Beijing with top hotel, under $2k. So yes, even with insurance it's cheaper to fly to China.

It's crazy how people have no idea what the fairness doctrine was or what it covered. If they had a clue, they'd be blaming Clinton for the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Which had a significantly bigger impact on media.

Stop calling them "regulations" and call them what they are "protections." Food protections Mining protections Financial protections The job of the government isn't to regulate industry. Its job is to protect the citizens.

But like Trump, when they are gone, the people and ideological that props them up will remain. The US and Israel will need the same kind of re-education that (West) Germany went through to de-Nazify. And for once, both countries need to prosecute those responsible and not just "move forward".

The important part is "without identifying them." The Nobel committee does not identify or confirm who has been nominated for 50 years. (Read it on their web page)
