it doesn't matter because I don't live in a swing state.

Not true. It absolutely does matter.

Unfortunately, it looks like there's great risk of another four years of orange joy.

It seems the US is truly falling into the hands of religious zealots despite a Senate and President who pushes the other way. Tells you how much power the Supreme Court has.

It also makes it very clear that you can't jump ship just because of a bad debate. It's about policy, not one person's debate skills.

These trucks are also a very American thing. Rarely see that anywhere in Europe. Lots of toxic masculinity in the US

Sure, Trump will take down the military industrial complex...

I vote for policy, not a person. I have zero in common with Trump and the Republican Party, so I'll be out there voting for the Democratic policy platform every time.

widespread panic among Democrats about how the night played out.

The Republicans have been in "widespread panic" and in various states of chaos over the past couple of years over lots of issues, and it has made no difference in voter support whatsoever.

This "panic" among Democratic pundits will make no difference in voter support either.

So, does this mean we'll have an even larger conservative SCOTUS majority?

It's really just sad, because it, once again, puts those with less financial means at a disadvantage. The rich can afford to live far from the smokestacks, while the poor (often minorities and immigrants) have to live near the factories and in turn compromise the health and futures of their kids and themselves.

It's like this court is determined to send the US as far back in time as possible. Not just on this issue, but pretty much every issue they consider.

I don't know about all of you, but I love me some smokestack smoke drifting over my neighborhood.

I have everything pretty much ready to launch full time. Time, skills, customers, support from family. But I'd leave my current job behind and with it my family's health insurance for the foreseeable future. I can't afford any of the options I've seen. It's the one thing holding me back. Any ideas for affordable health insurance for startups? If you've been in the same situation, what did you end up doing?
