Workers at a McDonald's franchise are never McDonald Corporation employees.
The company has no idea who is working in the franchised stores (almost all of them.)

Total BS. Individuals have no leverage to negotiate rates or hold companies’ feet to the fire. Trump will never give people the money; he will find some way to pocket it. And in the end it goes to insurance companies anyway.

The pardon power was intended to redress a miscarriage of justice.
If we had an honest Supreme Court, the majority of Trump pardons would be invalidated
The Founders would be appalled at the idea that a President could order someone to break the law then pardon them.
But that's clearly Trump's plan

I'm just asking why journalists can't communicate more effectively.
"Africa is Rising."
"Well, that's nice. They've had a hell of a time. I'm so glad they're rising again."

ACA helps guarantee broad participation lowering everyone's premiums.
Since we are sufficiently civilized not to kill the uninsured, at least so far, every uninsured person increases the medical costs and insurance premiums for every one else.
That's not even mathematics. It's arithmetic.

Too sad.
I just finished listening to an audio book on the Plantagenets, who ruled Englang for 330 years.
They were awful kings. For three centuries, they bled England dry to fund stupid wars to try to regain William's lost domains in France.
But, we survived.
Maybe give it another 330 years?

@nytimes.com stop using these stupid PR photos that are obviously staged to try to make Trump look serious and pensive.
