We still have some Talgos in the PNW. They look cool on the outside but the inside is nothing special.

Fixing the hole in the TriCare (military insurance) budget by letting civilians sign up for it, instituting a public option.

It's even more baby-brained than that, because doing it this late in his term means he thinks it would have cost Kamala votes in the general.

Idk how to explain to Democrats that it's not the year 2000 anymore and that Florida is not a swing state. The gusanos will both never vote for you nor would they even be capable of flipping Florida as a bloc.

Eh. In Malibu and Pacific Palisades the local nimbys will probably prevent anything like that unless they get a big kickback. I expect those towns will just be rebuilt even richer by people who are wealthy enough to not need financing and therefore not required to have insurance.

And I imagine LA city government will bend over backwards to install some sort of wildly expensive gadget meant to be like "Iron Dome for wildfires" that will probably be as effective as the original.

So, in general, home insurance is required by mortgage lenders. I wonder if corporate real estate companies (e.g. Blackrock) are going to buy these uninsurable homes (in cash, ergo no mortgage). Too much risk, or count on the government backstopping it because they always bail out corporations?

Better go handcuff yourself to a door again I guess.

Plan? There's no plan.

But they definitely will start drawing down from the strategic reserve in Alaska.

Lib media is doing material analysis? Since when?

I just assumed it was a reference to Sonny getting killed in the Godfather. But of course they shoot through the windows in that scene anyway.

And only like, what, 2 months after enthusiastically voting for the person who argued that continuing that program and continuing to pay them less than minimum wage was necessary?

The invention of the "study" as a pressure release valve for activism was truly a masterstroke.

Fun anecdote from the article about a previous merger one of these companies did:

Washington seeks to avoid the situation it found itself in a decade ago, when Albertsons bought the Safeway chain. To satisfy regulators concerned about that deal's potential impact on supermarket competition and consumers, Albertsons sold 146 stores to Haggen, a small grocery chain based in Bellingham, Washington.

But Haggen struggled with the expansion. Within six months, it had closed 127 stores — including 14 in Washington — and laid off thousands of workers. Haggen sold its remaining stores to Albertsons in 2016. Now, 10 Haggen stores in Washington are on the list to be sold if the merger happens.

Look at the math on that little offer they did to make the merger more palatable. lmao

I knew it wasn't going to happen, because libs refuse to ever do anything good, but I figured it would be Adams, not Hochul.
