I found 2 resources I believe I can trust. There is a snopes article that lays out the basics.

Plus a local NPR station podcast in San Francisco that goes over the whole document in 13 episodes. I’m only two episodes in so far.

I don’t think I actually want to read the 900+ page document.

That’s not entirely true. Everyone forgets there was an individual mandate penalty that his administration & congress repealed.

Anyone remember how the ACA assessed a tax on those who were not insured? (with income based exceptions). The tax was meant to feed into the ACA and keep plans in the marketplace cheaper, and to stop the program from adding to the federal deficit.

Once the trump administration came in they worked with Congress to eliminate that tax penalty.

Here is a helpful article that talks about the penalty and what the early findings showed when it was removed.

This describes me to a tee. I plugged my ears on all of the campaign stuff knowing I was going to vote D regardless of what was happening on the politics side.

I work in international development and there is already enough sadness and frustration in keeping abreast of news in that sphere.

Now I can’t afford to blissfully ignore all US political news so I need to do some reading to understand what’s coming my way. I really hate it here.

I think you’ve discovered most of them. I wish the meta communities were more active. I find them very valuable.

Then again I should try harder to be the change I want to see in the world.

Lemmy.ml didn’t appear down for me today… But I’m not great at noticing these types of things so you should get a second opinion.

Solid, I will.

This is such a useful comment that I’m bookmarking this. I know that NFTs are flawed tech but I struggle to explain it well.

I guess we will see who was right this year.

Will this change lead to different strategies that allow them to score more points? Or will the shoestring budget they seem to run the team on keep holding them back?

I know that Steiner is a beloved meme, but I figure this may be the right move. They really struggled last year so something needs to change.

I’d recommend https://lemmy.world/c/general it’s a community for general discussion and people seem to post whatever with no problem.

I use Boost because it has a tagging feature. So instead of blocking people with smoking hot trash takes I tag them so I can read their posts and comments with scepticism in the future.

I only block people who troll and do nothing else.

It’s really helpful for not shrinking the pool of comments or posts I can read.

How much longer will it be before I can finally log in and use boost or liftoff. Is there a timeline for a fix? Both have been broken since the update.

I love trash reality TV, but not as much as I love communities talking about trash reality TV.

I wish there was a community here for Love Island or Love is Blind.

Not only is it weird for an inflatable pool to be indoors, but that is a very tight fit.

Well then, I’ll disregard the original comment. I don’t mind that slurs are censored.

Genuine question, is Lemmy.ml censored in some way?

This community is teaching me that custom everything is not actually a good idea. At least not when it comes to reselling.

McLaren is really making up for lost time earlier this season. I wonder where they will manage to finish if they keep this performance up.

I would hope that because Max has very little to lose he will be a lot kinder on the start tomorrow. Then again those two can be so spicy.
