- Depends who's eating! If my guests can tolerate proper spice levels, I'll do chicken tikka masala with homemade naan and dal. If I'm cooking for a spice-averse crowd, my pasta carbonara game is on point. And if it's kids, I'm doing homemade NY-style pizza with whatever toppings they want.

There is almost no reading or writing compared to when I was in school. Then, when students hit college they've never practiced those skills, so of course turn to LLM's.

The big one is that they're going to raise premiums and co-pays on beneficiaries at or above the federal poverty line ($15,650 for single people, $21,150 for a couple). That's what helps pay for the tax cuts.
