Stray thought: the mass product rating norms in place today may have come in part from the legal industry, in that the Zagats, who pioneered customer ratings for restaurants, borrowed the format from Chambers, the lawyer rating service.

It's very mathematical of Trump to introduce a hypothetical with "let them." All that math he did at Wharton must have shaped his speech patterns.

Thought bubble: Calling the developments in 18th Century knowledge and philosophy "The Enlightenment" may have some claim to accuracy -- but it was also maybe the greatest branding campaign in European history.

“Naming agents is not a verdict,” Donatti said. “It is a precondition for an independent investigation. It lets witnesses come forward, lets the public see whether there’s a history, and ensures that facts are tested before any account hardens into the only story.”

While I'm at it, the CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT with the highest ACA enrollment in the country is #FL27, represented by Maria Elvira Salazar. She's the one who posted an ad begging Trump to rein in ICE after voting to give them $70 billion. acasignups.net/cd-pie-chart... (chart is from last year)

However accurate/inaccurate CMS's i.d. of unauthorized ACA enrollment is, here's an oddity: "On August 31, 2026, CMS canceled approximately 315,000 enrollments covering over 760,000 individuals" ACA enrollments' average household size is ~ 1.5. Avg disenrolled household size is 2.4. Why?

Thanks to Republican hatred, almost all immigrants need a green card to qualify for Medicaid (as of Oct. 1) or Obamacare (as of Jan. 1). But the Trump admin has frozen green card applications for 75 countries. Get it?
