It's been 112 years since universal healthcare was first part of a presidential platform

Ah, yes, back in the days before penicillin or insulin were discovered. Do tell us more about what forms of 1912-era healthcare are not largely accessible to the 2024 masses.

Do you think Teddy Roosevelt supporters are still alive and waiting patiently?

I think his plan to offer health insurance to the working-class poor (and their dependents) sounds a lot more like Medicaid than universal healthcare. You know, baby steps.

It's right fucking there at the beginning. They're suing Tyson chicken as well.

Wat.

The fast food giant is suing the U.S. meat industry’s “Big Four” — Tyson, JBS, Cargill and National Beef Packing Company — and their subsidiaries, alleging a price fixing scheme for beef specifically.

Where do you see anything about chicken? Are you under the impression that Tyson only deals in chicken?

It's "right fucking there at the beginning." It says "beef specifically."

Discord should take a long hard look at what other stuff happens on their platform.

Discord surely does, as surely does the government of the land which hosts their infrastructure.

If Discord hasn't been asked/told to block Russia from their side, there is a reason.

uninsurable

That story was fake news based on one tweet

That's not why they're selling.

Congress let the FCC spectrum auction/allocation authority expire in 2023. So the FCC is unable to allocate new spectrum licenses to carriers. Even the spectrum that was already auctioned has been in limbo.

That makes transfer/sale of existing licenses the only path to acquisition, which significantly raises the prospective value of those assets.

T-Mobile doesn't want their customers or their infrastructure. They want the spectrum. And because Congress is sitting on their hands, US Cellular is able to demand a higher premium now than they likely ever would again.

This chair appears to have the reflection of a back, but not an actual back.
