Halloween is almost here! 🎃 Next week is a biggie, I'm getting nervous (as per usual). The GOP in my town has signs with the slogan "paint (town) red" everywhere and I really hope local Dems show up on Tuesday and vote. M4L hosted a talk here recently and I'd really hate for them or thoae like them to get a foothold in local politics.

Also check your voter registration. Shenanigans are happening all over with eligible voters being purged from the rolls.

Fuck Youngkin.
I voted in VA on Friday and I felt almost desperate while do so.

It sounds like the UAW may have deals with each of the big three

The UAW has reached an agreement with all 3 major auto companies! POTUS just confirmed it . The UAW members will vote on whether to accept the terms so hopefully the strike will be over in the coming days. Big win for labor!

About time to sign up on the health care marketplace.
I hate it. They advertise soo many plans $0 per month. With sooo many plans that have huge deductibles 18k really? And plan doesn't pay anything until you meet deductible except 1 dr visit a year. Sure the ins Co has contracted amounts so your $100 lab bill might be 47. But self pay is often lower than that.
Currently trying to figure out the difference between this plan that has everything that looks the same but 1 is $0 and the other is $100.
many of the high deductible plans are not eligible for adding money to a health savings account because the out of pocket limit is also too high. That shouldn't be.

My company just announced a pay increase for everyone…except those covered by a union. My store is in the process of unionizing. This is so gross and just makes me want to unionize more. It’s a shit move from the company I have worked for for 17 years.

I'm sorry sewf, that's beyond jerky of them. I think that MAYBE it’s because they have to go through union contracts before changing anything in terms of pay and we will get the increase after that, but what they are doing mow is trying to stop more store from unionizing. Right now, 10% of the stores have at least started the process.

Right now, 10% of the stores have at least started the process. I was just going to comment that it is likely due to the fact that they cant unilaterally change pay to union covered employees without the union reviewing, voting and approving the contract. It is how it works for my union too with my employer.

Throw back to simpler times: The pure joy he got from that child. The whole series of photos of him losing himself laughing are some of my favorites from his presidency.
