A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.
given our country over into the hands of MINORITIES, without regard to the rights of the majority White Christian Constitutional Americans. Mr. Truman has con-doned, rather than condemned, racketeering and corruption in high places. He has NEVER made any real attempt to ROOT OUT
Marxist-communists
from govern-
ment.

5) there is a more logical explanation: lots of cheaper ACA plans have very high deductible and copays, so that you’d still avoid getting health care unless or until your seriously needed it. People choose these plans either because they think they’re healthy and won’t need it, or can’t afford it.

4) and IF that is the case, the solution isn’t to go on TV and decry the program, but quietly do the detective work to catch these companies at their game, and send their managers and owners to prison.

3) the only logical argument here is if insurance companies are signing up fake customers and then taking the government subsidies for that coverage, while paying out no claims. IF that is happening, it would be business/corporate fraud, not consumer fraud.

2) insurance fraud, from a consumer point of view, consists of filing fake or excessive claims, not paying premiums and then making no claims. Where’s the payout?

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.

a critical weakness in far too many left-wing spaces is the lack of any real strategy for dealing with people who weaponize social justice language to lambast and tear down others while framing even the mildest - let alone well-deserved - pushback against them as bigoted abuse.

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

ah yes, in a world filled with censorship, monopolies over distribution, and stolen work, my #1 fear is that two kids in a library will read the same e-book. It's such a chilling prospect. I'm glad someone is sticking up for me and my right to have AI be the only one accessing my work for free.

Also, you did see my shout out to indie bookstores and free festivals. Those are my other faves. LET THEM READ. If a teen reads your book from the library and it makes an impression on them they might become obsessed like me about Jane Eyre or 1984 and start talking to everyone about it.

Reading is for everyone not just people with gigantic book haul budgets. Do we want people reading less? You want to decrease your customer pool? Like this is a literacy issue, a love of reading issue. I talked to kids everyday about reading AND adults. If ppl like reading and get $ they will buy.

Not just people who can afford to buy a 40 dollar hard cover (because yes that's how much they cost here) or a sometimes 14.99-almost $20 dollar ebook depending on the publisher every time because that's going to make them have to limit their reading. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT AS A WRITER. Let them read.

Guess who is more likely to recognize your name and buy a new book by you later? This is how you build a readership. Go after pirates and AI. Leave me with indie book stores, festivals and the library. The library is creating readers for me, do not take that away. I want everyone to read my books+

Librarian's love writers. Do you know how excited they were to have me there? They put on local author showcases where you can come and sell your book. They have author talks and invite book sellers where you can buy copies, here. Also, if someone encounters your book in the library and they love it

I was writer in residence at my local library this year. I got a message once from someone saying she had read my book through her library and then went out and bought 2 copies for the academic institution she works for. Libraries pay for books an introduce people to reading which helps writers.
