Chat bot for kids toys sounds like a great idea; i'm sure they have the mental capacity and context to comprehend that they're interacting with a stochastic predictor machine.

It's just like tamagotchi, am i right?

What's the desired strategic outcome here - to remove the incumbent president and his political party from power and replace it with one more favorable to US oil interests? And to do that without putting ground troops in to some Latin American Vietnam? Good luck with that.

Maria Machado? I thought independent observers mostly agreed she won the election?

Maduro arrested https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1158304287678...

Considering the general incompetence of this administration, this level of success with such a surgical operation seems completely out of character.

Incredibly impressive operation, whether or not you agree with it. Although the ability to operate helos over Caracas with such impunity may very well suggest high-level collaborators in the local military.

> suggest high-level collaborators in the local military

This - almost guaranteed that this was a negotiated outcome/coup from the military.

Also it's telling i had to scroll halfway down the page to find the first non "trump therefore bad" comment. The cognitive dissonance of the posters vis a vis Machado is pretty astounding.

> This is what I voted for

You voted for brown people on flimsy boats to be blown up in extrajudicial killings and for regime change? I thought MAGAs were all about love and peace unlike the war monger, Barrack Obama.

Ah yes, inexplicably alluding to race makes every argument stronger. May as well throw in some inaninity about climate change while you're at it.

Can you explain what these mandated benefits you think shouldn't be covered?
pxmpxm · 2 months ago
Off the top of my head maternity/neonatal/family planning type of benefits are mandatory for obamacare compliant plans. That essentially outlawed all the affordable young adult catastrophic plans.

So first you say it has always cost this much, but in the next breath you say that its cost has outpaced a high rate of inflation. Mathematically, these can't both be true.
pxmpxm · 2 months ago
A) Inflation in healthcare costs is well documented and unrivaled

B) Biden papered over A) with "temporary" covid subsidies in 2021 and those are going away, revealing A) again

Have you been on an ACA bronze plan? I wouldn’t consider it a Cadillac plan nor did I find it covering lots of unnecessary things.
pxmpxm · 2 months ago
Bronze plan is shitty catastrophic insurance at like 5x the actuarial cost to try to fund risk pool and all the mandated benefits thst the o/p alluded to

No, it definitely did not always cost $2k a month.
pxmpxm · 2 months ago
Bronze plans with $5-6k deductibles have always ran more than what people paid for rent. Healthcare is the one thing that's outpaced inflation in higher education.

>Allen is herself a casualty. While she used to pay $487.50 a month, her new healthcare plan, with reduced coverage, has monthly premiums of $1,967.50.

Brutal.

Meanwhile the White House calls it all "fake news".

pxmpxm · 2 months ago
It's always cost ~$2k a month, the only difference is the previous administration thought everyone else should be "temporarily" paying for her plan.

I feel like we need a perpetual PSA here that moving money from person A to person B obviously doesn't make anything cheaper.
