Also on Joe - abruptly late last year, I finally got me some Medicaid - nothing we'd done led to that, I think.  We just got a letter out of the blue.

I don't know how Joe did it, but Joe did it.  -Not Bakrama, not Mrs. Clinton.  Joe Biden.

We have a saying here, the public gets what it wants or needs in an election year. Maybe someone, somewhere, was trying to sway your vote.
In my country its most visible one year-6 months before a community council election: lots of public road infrastructure works.

It was post-election, but that might just be blown timing...

Warren, no one took seriously.

Dr. Warren kneecapped Bloomberg.

You SHOULD take Professor Warren seriously, Green.  Earlier that day, I'd seen one of the Liberals Screaming On Twitter comment that if Bloomberg won the debate, we'd probably seen our last President who wasn't a billionaire.  -Chilling; I thought the point had weight.

She, as Jesse-The-Governor Ventura would probably put it, Ended His Career.  That's her signature piece, BTW, loudly and angrily slapping around Rich and Powerful Bossmen -for their proven crimes- in public - WELL.  We ALL owe her forever for Bloomberg alone.

Selah-amen.

Without knowing more I couldn't say, and certainly I'm no expert, but isn't Medicaid administered at the state level, with only broad guidelines at the federal level?  I would be predisposed to credit some change in the local NC bureaucracy first.

Also, no, sorry, not taking Liz "Sandwich shop monopoly" Warren seriously.  Ain't gonna do it.

I'll be ruder than I would to someone I didn't love - does that Kool aide taste good?

I mean, googling that gives me an article by the Cato Institute on the first page, which is discredited by being the Cato Institute.  If they declared for chocolate ice cream and Baby Jesus in a Manger, I'd consider switching to vanilla and joining the Church of Satan.

Monopolies are BAD, son, and our government has failed us on fighting them your whole life.

You realize that, if Subway or any other chain acquired 100% market share for fast-food sub joints and used it to do unspecified terrible things--and for whatever reason nobody was able to break into the niche--Americans would be faced with the cruel inconvenience of buying bread, deli meat, and condiments, and putting them together themselves?  I mean, I can't picture what they would do with their terrible power; if they raised prices enough people would just buy their cold cuts premade from Wal-Mart, or get burgers, or something.  Subway, Jimmy Johns et al just don't have the leverage to be monsters, but she felt compelled to have the acquisition blocked anyway.  Liz Warren, AFAICT, runs on a set of simplistic assumptions, such as "big business is inherently bad," and follows them to absurd conclusions.

Elizabeth Warren humiliates criminal bossmen, which is priceless, and not enough of that action going around.
