1 In 5 Obamacare Waivers Goes To Pelosi

[Patranus]

Of the 204 new Obamacare waivers President Barack Obama’s administration approved in April, 38 are for fancy eateries, hip nightclubs and decadent hotels in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s Northern California district.

The reason the Obama administration says it has given out waivers is to exempt certain companies or policyholders from “annual limit requirements.” The applications for the waivers are “reviewed on a case by case basis by department officials who look at a series of factors including whether or not a premium increase is large or if a significant number of enrollees would lose access to their current plan because the coverage would not be offered in the absence of a waiver.” The waivers don’t allow a company to permanently refrain from implementing Obamacare’s stipulations, but companies can reapply for waivers annually through 2014.

Laughable.
"progressives" get the biggest "progressive" power grab since FDR and the "progressive" haven of San Francisco gets 1 in 5 waivers.

My collection is quite thin at the moment due to a format.
I'll post more as that is remedied.

If you'd care to make another random thread, Patranus, I could fill it with ponies.

Spamming a thread you don't politically agree with ....... ? Gotta love the leftists/progressives.

I don't think that it's anything personal towards the op. The dude just really likes his anime wimmins.

Nope, he also threatened to do it to any other thread that patranus posts. It looks as if anytime patranus posts something that has to do with political favoritism or political payoffs that DS will spam it.

Stupidity generally follows people. If this guy made this thread, his next is unlikely to be a 12 page treatise on early hominid development.

This thread classed Patranus. As such, "This thread," and, "Patranus thread," are equivalent. Another "Patranus thread" would warrant the randomness that this one does.
If my blatant disrespect is effective, his next thread will not be a, "Patranus thread." It will be, "Patranus after being spurred by DominionSeraph to be better" thread.

I like the direction of "better." Trash is of no use to me, except on the occasions the stupidity itself is entertaining. The OP showed such a lack of procedural care that it wasn't funny.

I don't think that it's anything personal towards the op.

Indeed. There is limited individuality assigned.
I have seen his name before but there was seemingly never any reason for me to single him out for remembrance, as he does not have a separate entry in my mind. Just a generic poster, lumped together with all the rest.
This thread received an on-the-spot judgement with associated response.

OP obviously placed no emotional restraints on the direction his mind took, so I placed none on mine.

You spam trash, then act holier then thou? Yeah right. It's a perfectly good political post about how the health care bill waivers are being approved based on political connections. It's the same old same old crony payoffs in action.

Conclusions are the mere result of method. It is the nature of the human mind to use corrupted methods if propositions are emotionally prejudiced. If you wish to achieve balance in outlook, you cannot care about result except as it pertains to the method used to reach it.

I value my conclusions only so far as they relate to the method I used to reach them. They are free to change through the same method by which they were born.

I am not a |Progressive|, I am a Seeker of Truth who happens to live in a society that has changed in a way that makes older legal bases ineffective. We have not achieved a new level of harmony from which we can begin anew -- it's still monkeys being monkeys. So how can one go backwards? The genies are out of their bottles. Problematic paths of exploitation must be dealt with. Just because the government currently keeps these things under control through prohibition doesn't mean that if you turn the clock back they remain gone.

And your iron-clad proof of that is contained... oh gee, nowhere.

Random politically partisan suppositions with NO CHECKS WHATSOEVER ON CONFIRMATION BIAS = random thread.

If you want better, do better. Hold yourself to some fucking standards.
I am not going to treat this shit as anything more than the trash it is. It's self-indulgent nonsense.

If you're gonna indulge, so am I. I can't indulge in self-delusion like you can, so here's some pleasant fiction that doesn't masquerade as anything else.

Aren't there rules against spamming a thread like this?

There's no derailing a thread that had no rails to begin with.

If you want a serious thread, make one. "Whoo boy lookee see, dem Dems is at it again," is a nonsensically nebulous insinuation, not a proper OP.

State and support, don't wildly insinuate.
If you feel the need to wildly opine, open up notepad.exe, write it down, then close it clicking "no." Because that's what a baseless opinion is worth.

If OP fixes the OP, I'll remove the Rukia. But I don't think he even knows what goes into making a solid opinion, so copying that procedure into a post is probably beyond him.

Random thread is fine by me. It beats most of what is posted in this dump.
