Don't forget the $8k annual tax bill that goes along with that already unaffordable house. I grew up near the area and love to visit but it's a hard place to get by for what it is, if that makes sense
Get an EV with fold flat rear seats. If you don't do too much mileage they are the cheapest leases around. Sleeping in an EV is light years better than having to leave a gasoline car running just for a bit of climate control. EVs have a giant camping battery right there with the car.

People who didn't lease will lose their shirts but the price of new cars is the primary driver for the price of used cars. New, cheap, and more useable EVs will make used ones cheap.
As to the reliability, it remains to be seen. Considering the size of a vehicle I think an aftermarket will pop up for refurbishing and replacing batteries like it has for the earliest modern EVs in the us, the leaf.
Battery prices are collapsing and we are at an inflection point where electric vehicles will soon be more economical to purchase, drive and maintain for a much greater number of people. This is as inevitable as the phaseout of coal.
There is no goddamned way UHC doesn't pressure the prosecutor to drop this to avoid that recording going public because half the jury will be left with the same sentiment when they hear it. And when it is public they will have a lot more to deal with.
If this woman's lawyers are smart they call the bluff and say "why yes, let's get this out into trial, use discovery to add context, and play that recording". There's law, justice, but the most important thing sometimes when the moment is right is perception.
Just go and pay $50/month they can't do shit anymore
If we all just stop paying the insurance, and instead just put $50/month towards the exorbitant medical bills, boom, universal healthcare
Had something similar, failed to get pre-approval for a CT scan to diagnose a pleural effusion. Yes, I was supposed to wait 24-36h for someone unfamiliar with my case and likely not even a doctor to determine if a diagnostic test was nessasary.

Absolute, fanatical concentration.
Should your unpaid mortgage follow you for the rest of your life? Should losing your job and not getting another one fast enough to keep up with your mortgage mean that you are indebted fo the rest of your life?
