Markwayne Mullin: "Affordable healthcare doesn't work. The Democrats had a community organizer in President Obama that tried to sell us a bill of goods. It isn't working. So let's let a business guy that actually knows business help negotiate a healthcare for the American people."

You have to incentivize the change you want.
Making a metro line, where you pay upfront, is less convenient and takes more time are all losing propositions. Removing one of those limitations is a great tool

Iowa City made its buses free in Aug 2023 as a 2-year experiment. Worked so well, city council extended for another year. Paid for with a 1% increase in utility taxes and by doubling most public parking rates to $2 from $1.

While the world burns, today is probably a good day to go get a turkey for Thanksgiving, and go ahead and start thawing it because it's going to take longer than you plan.

"Sure, THIS might have been a failure, and the car failed to matriculate after unknown amounts of spend, and the mobile devices haven't seen a notable improvement since magsafe, BUT it's a sign Apple is doing it right (somehow...)"
Sure, the Vision Pro is a commercial bust. But it's also a signal that Apple's on the right track
Apple’s Vision Pro Isn’t the Flop It Seems
Apple Inc.’s consumer tech strategy has been close to flawless since it released the iPod in 2001. Or it was — until the Vision Pro. Representing the company’s first foray into augmented reality, the headset is an extraordinary technological achievement. It’s also heavy, has a short battery life and starts at $3,500. Unsurprisingly, sales have been scant, and Apple, after releasing a slightly upgraded model, is backing away from further updates.

"Open Enrollment" should be a set window that is the same for the entire country, no matter what company you work at.
Also, this shouldn't exist because everyone should have health insurance (and dental/optical, I don't know why these are split out aside from inertia)

We are watching on antenna tonight and it’s almost live and SUPER good quality.

Google trying to sell people an “updated” thermostat every few years, when there are homes out there with working thermostats from the 40s, is a great example of how things have generally gotten worse over time
