@FrostFire14 Though I play the TCG these days prefer to watch GO. The caster teams are just more enhancing while watching. Though the Eu squad for TCG does a pretty good job generally

Yet the specter of Medicaid block grants show once again. The only cold comfort being that no matter the majority, the governing party always faces some bitter legislative failure as 09-10, 17-18, and 21-22 Congresses show. Maybe Medicaid escapes one more time

What will always be weird in retrospect for this election is seeing low unemployment and declining inflation occur alongside a Republican sweep

The context being the implementation of the ACA in mid 2010s coincided when I got my first job out of grad school. Over a couple years, was able to save and buy a condo. Far from being buried by tax burdens that in part fund programs I do not use, I grew more secure.

Still keep tabs on the Pokémon Go scene as first game I did competitively and provides a break from card games

Won Pokémon TCG tournament for the first time since February this past week. Small four round local but felt good to end the drought

[Matthew DiFiore @mdifiore31]

Mainly due to balancing now between three different TCGs, magic, Pokémon, and the newly released Altered plus work and relationship

Still involved with GO PvP. Do a remote tournament a month and looking forward to team competitions stating again. Just a little more casual these days.
