    This, plus the farmapocalypse.

    Hard to believe it was just a year ago when we had an economy that was the envy of the world. And Taco came in and seemingly did everything possible to fuck it all up.

    The author is mistaken. Health insurance is already unaffordable, but it can become even more unaffordable.

      I told my buddy overseas that insurance doesn’t actually cover care. They didn’t believe me, I was like no really- things can be out of network. They’re like… but you pay for coverage… isn’t that the point? No, absolutely not, the point is to maximize yachtholder value.

      Well it IS Paul Krugman. He’s very often wrong by coming from a “the system is great, actually” neoliberal perspective.

    Paul Krugman fucking sucks and if the Guillotines ever arrive, he shouldn’t be in one, but he should be forced to watch from a nearby Gibbet.
