The plan is certainly optimistic, but its also 100% possible.

Like the main number everyone quotes is literally from a Libertarian think tank.

They're from a libertarian, but his study takes Sanders' claims about how much things will cost at face value.

I'm not saying that no form of MFA can work (or even that Sanders' can't work!), but Sanders' plan will, in all likelihood, cost considerably more than $32 trillion.


Do you know the cost of our current system? Just curious.

Apparently about 3.3 trillion in 2016, though medical costs have been growing faster than inflation so the total cost over 10 years would be considerably more than 10 times that.


Its also worth noting that the 32 Trillion number is probably too low a figure not too high because it doesn't account for the fact that the main area of cost for Medicare is in administrative costs which would increase exponentially rather than in a linear fashion of it were to cover literally everyone rather than just people over 65.

There's also the fact that you need to take a hard look at say the NHS in Britain (which is rapidly turning into a mutant version of the American system) in order to determine what exactly you WANT out of Medicare for All and what the attacks on it would be.

Literally passing a piece of legislation that removed the "over 65" from Medicare would be the single biggest expansion of our government since WWII.

Like I agree it's worth doing but lets not sit here and pretend that words like "efficient" or "easy" apply to it.

Speaking of Republicans potentially behaving badly:

http://amp.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/election/article222363510.html

The fast facts:

One of the Commissioners presented presented evidence of election fraud in the NC-9 house race to the Board of Elections. The evidence was reviewed in a closed session.

The Board unanimously voted to not certify the results of the election.

This apparently has something to do with wild irregularities regarding Bladen Countys handling of absentee votes.

The Board of Elections, whose future is in very serious doubt, is having a teleconference today to discuss and possibly vote again on the matter. Its pretty unclear what's going to happen from here.


Update on this story - it seems there was systematic tampering with the absentee ballots in Bladen County (and possibly also Robeson).

If there is not some way to figure out how many votes that was and which ones were fradulent to produce a more accurate count they may be forced to toss this election out entirely and re run it.

Man is there no one they cannot suck the hype out of?

With the sheer tonnage of talent WWE has you could operate 3 pretty entertaining national level feds and yet they struggle to manage 1.

Part of the problem with the cruiserweights is that what got cruiserweights over in WCW wasn't them being small, it was them being different.

Meanwhile the cruiserweight division in WWE is filled with guys who are just "main roster guys but small".


When you have Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan in your main events, guys like Calisto and Cedric just arent gonna stand out as being different.

Maybe if you let your 205 guys actually work actual lucha libre style matches or British catch as catch can matches that would work some.

Overall though I scoff at this idea that Raw is close enough to being non broken that 205 Live segments could save it.

They still would have booked Ziggler/Rollins part 900 because they don't know what the problem actually is.

Becky/Ronda was getting over because of how fresh it was.

Like if you're expecting a series about fantasy heaven to be grounded and realistic then yeah this isnt going to work for you. The humor is in the absurdism of this heaven. That said for as much as I love season 1... This show changes rapidly and majorly as time passes. Just give it a shot.

One thing I'm curious about - and neither NYT or WaPo elaborate on other than mentioning it was essentially the catalyst - is that this all seemed to start when the Mexican police blocked the migrants and closed down the pedestrian path to the port of entry with anti-riot gear. Being blocked, some of them tried to bypass that and ended up at various parts of the border/fence. But on what basis did Mexico act to impede them?


This needs to not get lost.

If the path for entering legally was forcibly blocked then more or less everyone's hands were forced here.

If it turns out that the Mexican police were asked by Trump to do so then even more so

All of them are worth playing!

But yeah I agree with the consensus. 1, 4, 5, 8, 11 are the most accessible.

VI is basically the middle step between 5's style and 7's style but I think the narrative was still really good. It has a job system but its not set in stone yet - they want to make it more flexible than 3s and they want the vibrant characters to remain in place.

7 is my favorite entry in the series. Fight me about it. Great narrative, Job system has found its feet, has a really cool story.

9 is super cool because it has 8's skill point system AND the Job System from VII. The narrative is weak and it was WAY cooler at release when you could play it with friends but still worth returning to.

Also, a retrospective on 538's models:

538 Projection:

House: D+39
Senate: R+1 (rounded from 0.5)
Governor: D+8

Reality:

House: D+39 (with CA-21 still outstanding. Narrow R lead, but as provisionals have been coming in the Democrat has cut the lead. But they aren't going to continue counting this week so boo. Would be a D gain if the Democrat wins)
Senate: R+2
Governor: D+7

So basically, 538's model was a Florida away from being perfect. (And possibly even underestimating the House slightly if CA-21 goes blue to bring the number to 40 pickups.)


For instance this was Harry Entens to do projection.

He got the Senate but missed the house by 10 seats
Final forecast House median: Democrats 227, GOP 208. Final forecast House average: Democrats 229, GOP 206. Final forecast Senate: GOP 52, Dem 48. Margin of error wide enough for a GOP House or Dem Senate. https://t.co/uC06Sit4PM

Becky is legitimately the best thing going in the biggest and most important wrestling company. Fawning over her is allowed.

I will say Sugoi if I want to.

I loved last years Cena arc until the reality that the Undertaker not only had to be involved but had to win in a nothing match came into focus.

Also at this point honestly - why NOT pull the trigger on Cena title win 17 at Mania. Its the right time and place to do it and its not like they have any actual...you know plans.

Job him out to Seth or Braun when he needs to leave again its perfect.
