Why is it so hard to report SendGrid abuse? I'm sick and tired of the scam emails which all use this service. I just want to email a report but it's not published anywhere. Your chatbot just takes me and circles too. Do better. Stop enabling scams!
@NotTheirScript You're thinking about this all wrong. The ability of the jury to ignore the law and do what they feel is just is one of the few true checks on power individuals have. The govt can make any law, the jury decides if it's valid. It was wrong in this case but not every case.
@VigilantFox With $90k income you get $0 subsidy. His taxes don't pay squat for their healthcare. Even with the cheapest bronze plan, they'll have to pay close to $20k before insurance kicks in and pays for anything. That's 22% of their income to receive absolutely nothing. That's broken.
@SteveHiltonx You might want to be careful. The AI actor looks and sounds just like Bob Odenkirk. Most celebrites don't appreciate being used in political ads.
Finally she said, “Can I tell you something without you getting upset?”
I laughed and said, “Go for it.”
She took a deep breath.
“My aunt thinks you were trying too hard.”
I actually thought she was joking.
She wasn’t.
Apparently helping too much made me seem “calculated.”
She said my aunt thought I was only being nice because I wanted everyone to like me.
I couldn’t believe it.
If I’d spent the whole trip sitting in a beach chair, they probably would’ve called me lazy.
Instead, I tried to be useful, and somehow that became suspicious.
A few weeks later, that same aunt asked if I’d be willing to help her move because I was “the only reliable young guy in the family.”
The irony wasn’t lost on me.
That trip taught me something I’ll never forget.
Some people make up their minds about you first…
Then they look for evidence to prove themselves right.
Have you ever realized there was no way to win with someone, no matter what you did?
@elonmusk Does X Money have protections to prevent what happened with Yotta, Evolve Bank, and Synapse. Does Cross River Bank keep a ledger for every individual account, or are deposits in one giant bucket that loses money when some middleman in the scheme collapses?
Tom Steyer has done some good things for California. But his latest idea is going to make California a lot more expensive.
@TomSteyer says he wants to hold a special election to raise your taxes and weaken Prop 13. Let’s talk about what that really means.
First, the special election itself will cost us at least $282 million. That’s money that could be spent on schools, safety, and housing.
Second, raising taxes on businesses, especially small businesses, will make just about everything in California even more expensive. In the last six years the California state budget has grown from $200 billion to nearly $350 billion. Did you feel like government got $150 billion better?
I don’t.
We need more money to protect Californians from Trump cuts. But let’s start by cutting waste and making government more efficient.
Before our government asks for more, it needs to do better with what it already has. https://t.co/0wpLyvFDeA
So, your doctor ordered a test or treatment and your insurance company denied it. That is a typical cost saving method.
OK, here is what you do:
1. Call the insurance company and tell them you want to speak with the "HIPAA Compliance/Privacy Officer"
(By federal law, they have to have one)
2. Then ask them for the NAMES as well as
CREDENTIALS of every person accessing your record to make that decision of denial.
By law you have a right to that information.
3. They will almost always reverse the decision very shortly rather than admit that the committee is made of low paid HS graduates, looking at "criteria words." making the medical decision to deny your care.
Even in the rare case it is made by medical personnel, it is unlikely that it is made by a board certified doctor in that specialty and they DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS!!
4. Any refusal should be reported to the US Office of Civil
Rights (https://t.co/QJjJAm5BxT) as a HIPAA violation.
Be safe out there 🫵🏻✨
Know your rights 👊🏼

California is the best state in the nation. But far too many of us are suffering — from the high cost of living to the thousands of people living and dying on our streets. And unaccountable government is holding us back.
To continue to be the innovative, upwardly mobile state that rivals other nations, we need bold, common sense change. We need a governor focused here at home. I’m reconsidering running for the seat because what we’re doing in San Jose is working. We’ve reduced unsheltered homelessness by nearly 1/3rd. We were rated the safest big city in the nation last year. We’ve invested in technology that is making bus routes faster and city streets safer. I believe our city could be a model of what a diverse, pragmatic, innovative city looks like in the 21st century.
I will make my decision in the next two weeks. And you all will be the first to know. Thank you for your continued support, for your advocacy and for your commitment to a California that works for all of us — to a California that gets back to basics. https://t.co/17jeIkkZ56
It's officially been 300 weeks since 2020 began. Saving $50/week in bitcoin during that time would’ve turned $15k into 0.58 BTC, now worth over $63k. Saving in gold instead would’ve yielded 7.45 oz of gold, worth just over $28k.
Bitcoin’s a superior long term savings technology.
I think some people don’t really understand the economics of what they want. I think @jackmallers says it best, that the US is in a crunch, they need to inflate their debt away, and by using Bitcoin as the release valve, we can debase the dollar against Bitcoin, which really keeps inflation down. So the dollar becomes less valuable as a global reserve currency, but prices at home don’t get affected much. And the reason is because of Bitcoin, it’s a sponge. If that printed money doesn’t end up in the goods and services sector, then prices won’t rise. If it ends up in Bitcoin, the Bitcoin rises instead.
