    Sounds like we've just been subsidizing the other plans for the last 4 years then. Switching from gold to silver will cut our premium in half, our out of pocket by 2/3, and shit like copays and prescriptions to almost nothing. Oh well.

    This post made me laugh a bit to myself. I've mentioned before I had the bullshit jobs conversation with my coworkers probably 7 or 8 years ago now. Since it was F/A-18, which meant lots of engineers and mathematicians and shit as a make work program, my solution was that we could retool the...

    We actually just met with some guy to talk about different plans (he was an idiot and didn't provide any help), but the summary is our premiums didn't really change whatsoever. The only thing we're considering is changing from a gold plan because we can't quite figure out what it's providing us...

    I'm not sure I buy these numbers, otherwise the current model of massive hospitals buying up the regionals and building massive upscale compounds wouldn't exist.

    I mean, if we're being honest, even in games like Arc Raiders it puts people off the game. I'd say the only place it's actually ever been successful is battle royales, the CoD/BF franchises, and for some reason Eve. Outside of that, pvp is just toxic every time.

    An Act? Sounds like something Congress would have to pass, which means this is likely just more hot air. I don't necessarily blame Trump for it, but it doesn't fix anything.

    Landman

    C'mon now, she's a boss bitch. She's way smarter than her husband who became a billionaire from nothing. She learned it all through osmosis and then became better because she's a woman. And she's much more cutthroat and ruthless than he could ever hope to be.

    Yeah, the acting and sets were phenomenal in this. They did insert a good bit of woke shit, like the black doctor being super smart and knew better than the white doctor, but couldn't say anything because racism. I'm curious how much of the political stuff is reality, because I couldn't tell...

    And now he's struck paydirt on his very first well, which was already operating, and is now making $10 million a year. Seems legit.

    Feel like they're missing the mark a bit. BBT going off on a tangent about breakfast food companies instead of how everything is made of oil? Really? Seemed too forced to me.

    Feels like we're on our way to a bloodbath to end the year. Usually I'd say the fact that everyone is pessimistic about the market and feel like we're heading for a cliff would mean we've still got time and the market actually isn't inflated as much as it feels, but in this case the market has...

    Pretty sure someone called this in this thread or in the General forums yesterday.

    On the one hand, as an asset owner, I absolutely agree. On the other, I'm not super excited about an economy where everyone is fucking dying out there because of how bad it is, and I'm sitting on my throne like some rich asshole. I don't think that system is sustainable.

    Because literally everyone is sitting there like @Haus thinking this is a giant AI bubble. But everyone also wants to ride it. Just not first.

    It's pretty wild that it feels like the entire market will move on what Nvidia says.
