    You should heed those words.

    My kids couldn’t wait to get the vaccine. It was nothing — my older kid got the chills for a day. I can’t believe that this country is getting torn apart by a harmless vaccine which protects those who receive and others. All in the name of a manufactured culture war.

    Self-insured plans have to follow some ACA requirements, but not other requirements. It depends on the specific requirement.

    It would matter as a self-insured plan because essentially, Delta is paying their employees’ medical costs out of their own pocket, as opposed to an insurance company, which pays claims out of their pockets. The insurance company, as administrator, essentially just follows Delta’s orders and processes claims since Delta’s main business purpose is to fly people in large metal tubes.

    Yes, I'm sure that's it. Because when you have an insurance company, it pays, not you.

    Shaking my damn head.

    Someone going on Twitter to touchdown spike someone's severe illness is very strange.

    Obama's deportation policy focused on recent arrivals and convicted criminals. Deporting undocumented immigrants who haven't lived in this country for years and years, or who have been convicted of crimes, I don't have a problem with. They came in illegally, and that's the chance they take. They're probably bound to slip back into the US anyway sooner or later. Deportation isn't permanent for those here illegally in the first place.

    This country needs an effective policy to admit foreign workers, one that isn't so mired in red tape that immigrants simply throw up their hands and hire a coyote. Many would go through channels if the channels weren't all dead ends. This country admitted Mexican workers througb the Bracero program in the 1940s and '50s. The program had its problems, but it was fundamentally effective and benefited both Mexico and the US. We could revive an updated version if certain lawmakers weren't throwing up roadblocks to any kind of immigration reform.

    A lot of us are pretty well sick of this nonsense.

    Again, the insincere thinking embedded in this statement makes the discussion hard to have. The skyrocketing border crossing and apprehension numbers in 2021 are because of a backlog of administrative red tape.

    I know people on here have kept saying a shooting war - Civil War 2.0 - is coming. I never expected it to spark off because of cloth masks designed to protect your fellow citizens from a deadly disease. But now? Maybe?

    Once the boosters and under 12s are vaccinated, I’m taking my mask off and letting the chips fall where they may.
