On a much much lighter note: should I go dancing tonight?
Pro: it's dancing; it's a convention so there will be lots of people there from out of town
Con: it's down near the airport and I'd have to pay $20 to get in plus parking; I might end up sitting watching more than dancing; it doesn't start until 9pm.
Go dancing! I say as I sit on my couch watching TV.
Yeah, I think the big risk is more the "doesn't start until 9pm" part, really!
That was my takeaway. These days if it doesn't start until 9pm it better take an hour or less for me.
Plei: Eeep. No, the person who is in Denver this week was in Hangouts. I wish he were home, I am getting no sleep.
I dream of single payer where I'm not doing it. It's is total insanity that it's part of what an employer needs to do.
So completely and totally.

May he be home soon for sleeeeep for you.
Dropping in with hugs for Laura and all my best health ~ma for amyth.
Well, it's 8:30 and I am not in the car on the way to the dance, but rather in my pajamas on the couch. So there's your answer! ...I did end up down a YouTube rabbit hole of choreography, though?
First of all lots of ~ma to Laura and amyth.

This drives me nuts about candidates who want to 'build onto' employer-provided health care to reach universal coverage. If they mean it as a transitional thing, then okay, but I think wanting to keep that system is insane. I wish the Dems would make more of an issue how single-payer (or even a very heavily regulated public-private partnership) would make it so much easier for small businesses, for people wanting to start their own business, for contractors, and for a more fluid labor market. They should push back against the 'it's a job killer' argument of the GOP.
My employer provided health insurance has become a complete scam. We have a family deductible of $3,000.... and then we still have to pay 20% of costs. I would have been better off banking the cost of the premium. How I miss the good old days when I only had a $35 copay and preventative care was free.
