Quietly swapping your earlier edition with the current edition was not, however.

Not all of them. Many were suppressed votes.

While I agree that would be ideal, I suspect a lot of the services that let them process that food out to who needs it are unavailable.

The federal workers that I know are doing everything they can to get everything that’s been spoken for out to the recipients ASAP. If food is rotting, I suspect it’s because it can’t be moved.

Carbon footprint - AI burns a lot more power than old fashioned search results.

I get wanting to cost them more, but I don’t think they’ll see this use case as a cost.

I prefer to think of Chase as what a cop should be. As a strong contrast to the cops the kids will later become familiar with; so they can understand that we could do better.

At least, that’s how I felt before he got all the spy gear…

It’s a popular look!

Instead of “No worries!” he heard "No, worries!*

My point is that he was more than just a cog. He may not have been the sole villain and mastermind, but he was more than just a cog - he was a driver.

He could have done a number of other things. He wasn’t just a cog, he actively drove many of the problems with the health insurance industry today, as the person in control of the most egregious offender.

I’m sure he’ll be replaced with someone similar, and I’m sure he had plenty of encouragement; but that doesn’t make him any less culpable.

It kinda sounds like he did this with at least the bones of a plan. And aren’t silencers relatively easy to improvise, if you don’t need it to last?

Died, disabled, or went through other unnecessary, avoidable pain and suffering. It’s… quite a pool of candidates.

It sounds like he was receiving regular death threats and considered it par for the course.

If the CEO disagrees with the directions of the board, the CEO has a number of options. They can easily be considered culpable.

Per NPR, an annual investor’s conference for their parent company was scheduled to start this morning - https://www.npr.org/2024/12/04/nx-s1-5215881/brian-thompson-unitedhealthcare-ceo-shot-new-york

I can be mad at both.

Democrats could have tried to improve the lot of the working classes.

People could have voted not to throw their neighbors to the wolves.

Do you really not know who your family likely voted for, or your roommates? People like this don’t need a registered ballot result to make an inference that lets them act violently; unless he’d had the foresight to play at being a Trump convert months ago, I think this story is extremely credible.

better for Dems if he doesn’t drop out of the race

Need to be careful with this kind of thinking - that was the Dems’ attitude towards Trump during the 2016 election.

You didn’t read them in the car on the way home?

You’re taking the utterings of keyboard warriors as reflective of reality?

That was my first thought!

…I think that might be less far-fetched. After all, our black VP is competing for her next job with a guy who’s a few oranges short of a basket…
