Here's what it says on her campaign website (ctrl+f "universal" = "no results found"):

pablumAs Attorney General of California, Kamala Harris took on insurance companies and Big Pharma and got them to lower prices. As a Senator, she fought Donald Trump’s attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Vice President Harris will make affordable health care a right, not a privilege by expanding and strengthening the Affordable Care Act and making permanent the Biden-Harris tax credit enhancements that are lowering health care premiums by an average of about $800 a year for millions of Americans. She’ll build on the Biden-Harris Administration’s successes in bringing down the cost of lifesaving prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries by extending the $35 cap on insulin and $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket spending for seniors to all Americans. Her tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act gave Medicare the power to go toe to toe with Big Pharma and negotiate lower drug prices. As President, she’ll accelerate the negotiations to cover more drugs and lower prices for Americans. As Vice President, she also announced that medical debt will be removed from credit reports, and helped cancel $7 billion of medical debt for 3 million Americans. As President, she’ll work with states to cancel medical debt for even more Americans.

And Vice President Harris has led the Administration’s efforts to combat maternal mortality. Women nationwide are dying from childbirth at higher rates than in any other developed nation. The Vice President called on states to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage from two months to twelve: today, 46 states do so — up from just three near the Administration’s start.

Don't worry, the current Democratic presidential campaign is continuing its strides toward universal healthcare by...
*drumroll*
...dropping it from their campaign platform.

"It's 2008 and the latest marquee piece of Democratic legislation is flawed and stuffed with handouts to a useless and predatory industry, but it will be a stepping stone to something greater."

On March 30th , 1987, at Christie's London, Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh sold for £24.75 million

berdly-smug Not so priceless after all.

Also, if the pane of glass is so potentially vulnerable, why is no one telling the museum that it needs to beef up security?

Is this the result of the court cases or is Biden just putting up his middle finger now so it's the last thing we see as he gets lowered into his grave?

I mean, I have a preferred solution and it ain't an AI super consciousness.

tell em they fucked up

We do that all the time, but maybe it'll be more persuasive coming from one of their own computers?

Sorry, should've clarified "everyone" to mean swing state voters and the mysterious cryptid known as the moderate Republican because they're the only ones who count under this system.

The permafrost has a lot of peat, which has been a historical source of fuel in boggy environments since prehistory. It burns well if it's dry enough and peat fires can "overwinter" in smoldering hotspots that return in the summer.

 

According to Michael Roberts, that figure is currently at $1.3 tn including private investment, with only $100 bn in climate finance to poorer countries

 

It's been a while since I've breadposted because I've been lazy and not baking anything particularly exciting. But this week I pulled out the grain mill and channeled my inner Poilane. The fresh milled component is a mix of wheat, spelt, and khorasan, and the balance is Sequoia AP. I converted my liquid starter to a stiff one, then did one feeding with the fresh milled flour. After the starter doubled, I mixed the loaf and gave it an overnight proof in the fridge.

The forums said cutting the traditional three-day starter build down to one day doesn't make much of a difference, but I can't say the end product tasted substantially different from a decent whole wheat flour. Sprouting makes a much bigger difference but that's also a process.

I think I'm going to have to just go the whole hog and try all the extra steps to see if it's worth it.

 

Oil companies lobbied for - and received in the Inflation Reduction Act - better subsidies for carbon capture and storage while overstating its efficacy and selling captured CO2 for new oil extraction

 

My self-discipline has been crap lately. My therapist thinks I have ADHD. I spend all my time in front of a screen. I don't exercise as much as I used to, I bounce in and out of the gym, and I haven't been out dancing in years because - while I'm not the most covid conscious - that many people in a confined space together gives me the heebie jeebies nowadays.

I need something to right the ship. I did Korean martial arts when I was a kid but I never practiced on my own and was too much of a goofball to take it seriously.

I need do something that requires enough concentration to get me out of my head and ideally involves some speed. Any thoughts on what's good? Things that worked for you?

The big AI models are running out of training data (and it turns out most of the training data was produced by fools and the intentionally obtuse), so this might mark the end of rapid model advancement
