Independent voter and thinker. I question everything. Fierce about equality and women’s rights. I enjoy the debate and approach life with awe and humor.

Health should not be a political football. It is a right.

We are using our kids as guinea pigs going back to a time before vaccines.

Madness in the USA. Vaccines are always used as the classic example of positive externalities when teaching market failure. The anti-science brigade want to take us back in time and not for the better. #EconSky

South Carolina schools recently sent home unvaccinated kids to stem a growing measles outbreak. It turned out 5 of them were infected and, if they'd been at school, could've unwittingly spread it to their classmates for days.

That kind of precaution is now illegal in Idaho.

She is an unhinged mental case thinking the entire world revolves around her.

Politicians like Zohran Mamdani get out there and mingle with the people they want to vote for them. These politicians are more in touch with voters and their concerns.

Self-important, unstable Nancy Mace, on the other hand, uses cops to keep voters at a distance when she goes through an airport.

Vermont ACA marketplace example. Premium increasing more than 400%

ames @amsrbb.bsky.social · 1d

Bronze plan, 2 people with a $10k deductible per person.

Premium now: $450/month. Premium 2026: $1900/month.

So we’d pay $23k for the annual covered basics, then another $20k before coverage kicks in. This is the second least expensive option available. Just completely untenable. Not happening.

Your New Monthly Premium:
• You're currently enrolled in the VERMONT PREFERRED BRONZE plan.
• Starting January 1, 2026, your new monthly premium is estimated to be $1,902.98.
• Here's the math: Monthly premium of $1,902.98 minus $0.00 of possible financial help.
Your actual monthly premium may be different because your financial help may change in 2026. You'll find out your exact new monthly premium amount when you receive your January 2026 bill.
• Important: This estimated monthly premium is based on your 2025 information and may not account for changes that could impact your monthly premium, such as changes to your household income, family size, or any enrollment changes. Therefore, your financial help may be different in 2026. To confirm the correct amount of financial help for 2026, please contact Vermont Health Connect at (855) 899-9600 or visit VermontHealthConnect.gov.
• Currently, your 2025 monthly premium is $450.85. Here's the math: Monthly premium of $1,751.24 minus $1,300.39 of financial help you receive each month.

Via Data Arbor, Nine of 10 states with highest average household credit card debt per income are located in the southeast region ... Louisiana is at highest end of spectrum. #EconSky

Via Amy Nixon: The top 10% of American households own 87% of all stocks, nearly 85% of all private businesses and 44% of Real Estate

Another way of looking at this: The bottom 90% increasingly don’t matter in official economic data #EconSky
