I hated this, too for...tangential reasons. Bad things don't just happen, see, they happen because the protagonist, the antagonists, and basically everyone in the entire book the author bother to give a name takes every available opportunity to fumble around and fuck things up.

If you've ever heard of "competence porn", just imagine the exact opposite and you pretty much get the gist.

Then it may be time to go shopping while you still can.

God damn right.

No, it's absolutely correct as you broaden it to consider the average adult costs vs the average child.

The real reason you see this is that your employer gets a SUBSTANTIAL subsidy for YOUR insurance via a payroll tax credit. They do not get this for your spouse, so you see the true cost for them.

Came here to post The Thing. Glad someone beat me to it.

So the most intelligent, thoughtful, empathetic person on the planet is now President? The entire government is filled with caring, diligent, honest people?

Finally some good luck. I'll probably be fine, figuring my own shit out won't be too bad.

I'm sure he was flattered.

Yeah, imagine having a real, functioning government.

Must be nice. As an American millennial, sadly not something I ever really got to experience.

I don't know, I have a damn hard time stopping to show this much consideration for those who have repeatedly proved they would never bother to do the same for me or mine.

Got burned alive for being a sadistic corrupt fascist living in luxury while the people starved? Sucks to suck, maybe the next one will think twice.
