- Dear Hollywood moguls: if even I know better than Zaslav, why is he the one making $50 mil a year? press.wbd.com/us/media-rel...
- It was incredibly stupid. HBO was the probably Cable TV. It is iconic. Cinemax was a soft porn channel that we derisively called "Skinemax". Which name do you stick with?
- It seems increasingly likely, based on the combination of Dems doing well in post-Trump elections (e.g., the Omaha mayor race yesterday) and approval of Democratic lawmakers being quite low, that next years primaries see a lot of supine establishment Dems getting booted in favor of younger fighters.
- It reminds me of the GOP when a tea party house member would do something politically stupid. I hope the Democrats don't go down that road.
- Mike Johnson: "Look, I've been a little busy on reconciliation, so I'm not following all the twists and turns of the Qatar jet. My understanding is it's not a personal gift to the president ... other nations give us gifts all the time ... it's not my lane."
- Keep pressuring him. Keep asking him.
- JPMORGAN: The “backpedaling” on China has cut the odds of recession “back to below 50%” — but “we still see the risks skewed to the downside given the damage already done to confidence and the risks that the trade war and other US policies (fiscal, .. regulatory) are not as friendly as hoped for.”
- Also we still have historically high tariffs.

- I used it a lot as a traveling musician and was a host for several years.
- Mike Johnson: "Medicaid is intended, remember, as a safety net for young pregnant mothers and the elderly and disabled and vulnerable populations, not for young able-bodied men without dependents. Those are the kinds of people we're taking off the program."

- We have pretty decent dental for Medicaid in my state. I hadn't thought about it but I was on "Medicaid" for several years while I was staying home with my kid. I was working several small self employed jobs but my insurance was through the state. There was no option to buy insurance.
- why wouldnt they be? if they cant afford insurance medicaid should cover them
- Oh I see. Thank you. So basically, it's everyone under about $25k through the ACA.
- Why would they be on Medicaid if they are young and able bodied?
- [Not loaded yet]
- A lot of people are not able bodied but can't get SSD. It could be a temporary injury, or something other than an injury. It could be a caregiver or a person who's lost their job or home. It's just cruel and defeats the purpose of Snap to make it purely a disability supplement.
- Airbnb stole the entire idea from Couchsurfer, a free site that arranged free stays.
