Affordable Care Act Rates To Rise Steeply—Again - WSJ

\n
\n

Premiums set to rise by 13% next year, KFF analysis shows, in second straight year of double-digit hikes

\n
\n

The headline says it all. Premiums have only gone up since ACA passage and it still requires massive subsidies to keep it going.

\n

Healthy people are leaving, especially without the plused-up COVID-era subsidies, but law and markets don’t function on assumptions and projections. They are incentive-driven and getting mugged by reality doesn’t excuse weak fundamentals. The distortions are so embedded we can’t even see what normal is anymore.

Flying the Socialist Skies at United - WSJ

There’s also nothing to stop Mr. Kirby from bequeathing his fortune, or donating his $32.3 million in compensation last year, to the feds. Even better, how about offering more leg room in all rows and eliminating middle seats as a gesture to the hoi polloi? We suspect he’d say that none of these suggestions would reduce inequality or the national debt. But the same goes for a wealth tax, which punishes successful entrepreneurs.

Free to What? - Catholic Husband

\n
\n

Freedom is thought to be the ability to do whatever someone wants, as long as it doesn’t impact another. This definition trivializes what freedom is because it severs the connection between choice and purpose. I could do any number of things that would not affect others and would be profoundly harmful to me. That’s not freedom.

@manton No edits. I ended up having to send the link via Dropbox to the .wav file. I record in Motiv and drop it into wavelength.

@manton the schools run papers/homework through checkers like they have for decades checking for plagiarism.

@manton I’m using their ancient built-in plugin. I don’t think it has any export functionality and really hasn’t received meaningful updates since ~2018. I used to be very active in the Rapidweaver community and I might be the most active blog plugin user in the world; it’s pretty much abandoned. I can export the site to a local folder, and it gives me a .php file for every blog post. I don’t think an importer is really worth your time because I’m sure I’m in a very, very small group that would need this functionality, if it’s even possible.
