Pay attention, Canada, because there are politicians in this country right now who are doing their very best to bring this kind of thing here. 😑
My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.
I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.
And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

I got sucked in by what appears to be a deep fake yesterday.
I hate AI and the fact it seems to be solely about spreading lies and disinformation.
My sharing will reduce going forward.

WOLFERS: “When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.” #MedicareForAllNOW

Final day for this student in Chinchero and there’s also a third grade field trip going on
We’ve done a whole lot of intensive fiber arts work and everyone here is very impressed with the student from my online school
That’s very important because the whole point is to teach authentic material

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Because the pipeline isn’t making enough money to pay taxes? While the companies drain off all the profits into their pockets?

British Columbia’s finance minister may be set to delay a proposal that would slash the assessed value of pipelines, giving pipeline companies a massive tax break at the expense of rural property owners.
