The Republican’s third bill would allow you to set up a Child Heath Savings Account, so you can set aside money to grow tax-free for your child’s future health expenses. Think of it as a 529 program for healthcare. And your child would take ownership of the HSA when they turn 18.

It’s obviously not going to pass and is just a messaging bill, but so so so many savings accounts.

= more tax loopholes and advantages for rich people while poor people that can’t afford healthcare… still won’t be able to afford healthcare

Can we have a collective savings account that we start today with an initial deposit of sufficient funds for everyone to have health care?

Yeah there was a lot of snow this weekend but maybe not the best idea.

That depends on whether you are a homeowner on Iwo Jima or Omaha beach.

I’m assuming it was one of those propane weed burning torches, and lol media.

Creme brulee for twenty.

Took a second to realize this wasn’t a high end lighter marketed at cannabis smokers.

Why was ChapoTrapHouse banned from reddit?

Ongoing TOS violations, mostly calls for violence, and the mods doing nothing about it. Saying like “Joe Manchin should be first in line for the guillotine when the revolution comes” is enough to get you banned on Reddit.

The subreddit was genuinely awful in that it was unreadable dreck, like imagine trying to marry Reddit earnestness and tryhard-ness with Chapo detached irony and you’ll see what I mean. The hosts all loathed it and were glad that it died.
