MADD reax
The Paramount merger thing is continued over-valuation of the VHF licenses. TV is a bit better than radio, but I know that there’s AM radio stations who aren’t selling enough spots to _pay the electric_ on their analog transmitters.
Whatever. Let them die.
MADD stuff @BrianMcWilliams :
The CrowdHealth guy was good, again, but I think there's a lot of stuff missing. Yes, the CON laws, etc., are a pain in the ass, but it doesn't really matter as much now. Go somewhere else. One of the big things from the pandemic is the ability to use insurance products across state lines more easily.
The Reason series gets at some of the issues he didn't mention... Why We Can't Have Nice Things Archives - Reason.com
At the same time, there's lots of stuff where it just doesn't matter anymore. My disabled mother is a prime example. She hung on using her military retiree benefits for years before she moved home to Mississippi. She was worreid about finding a military medical facility to use....just as she had since 1973. The DoD facilities have been bad at best, and she actually got was actually given a major medical plan from one of the big private insurance companies that does everything she'd had as a military spouse....for $0, and it's accepted pretty much ...
The ep from Lou’s thing with the anti-feminist psych was interesting.
While I was on the train a couple of weeks ago, got into the start of Disability Pridde month.
I have two covered under the ADAs.
What the actual fuck; why is either of them a source of pride?
I have multiple sclerosis. My symptoms started around puberty, which is common. I developed some compulsions, largely, in response to actual physical problems I have.
(But this also circles back to expanding things based on disadvantage. My parents are from peak Jim Crow Mississippi, but got out after my white-enough-that-the-good-Democrats-didn’t-care-he-was-Catholic dad took the route of Lieutenant Dan….wanting to go to be an Army officer like his granda had been in WW1. My parents were the first who graduated college. So privileged…)
