@GiddyGap There’s a company with a big bird mascot and “only what you need” slogan that uses a similar scam. They use bridge policies originally designed to cover short term gaps in health coverage which do not conform to key ACA requirements (“only what you need”). This makes them cheap and easy to market to people who don’t realize how little coverage they have til their claims are denied. Trump relaxed the limitations on such policies and screwed millions. https://www.kff.org/affordable-care-act/issue-brief/understanding-short-term-limited-duration-health-insurance/

@floofloof And this guy is an actual MD, as in medical doctor.

@sylver_dragon @MicroWave I think your conclusions are accurate, particularly in the evangelical view of Trump as a “flawed vessel” that will still carry their religious water. But what always pisses me off is the absolute refusal of those same evangelicals to even begin to entertain the notion that Barack Obama, or now Kamala Harris could also be imperfect in their eyes, but still be the best choice to lead the country. Their minds are closed and locked.

@reddig33 @101 The US continues to reduce its use of coal as an energy source, plus exports of LNG to Europe increased significantly as they reduced their own consumption of Russian oil.
