I don't think so. I think the idea is that greater risk tolerance among investors will have them piling back in to things like bitcoin. I do have basic understanding of how bitcoin works and it certainly has plenty of utility... somewhere way back in this 188 pages i've been on record saying it won't replace fiat currency unless governments allow it (regulate it) which part of the big initial selling point on btc was its unregulated nature and how it was going to be the new world currency.... So I think a lot of reasons it was being touted several years ago are totally bunk. Anyone invested in btc, or any other cc's quickly became simply interested in how much their investments were worth in USD. I am all for a good trade. the last time I had eth I sold it in 2024. It's definitely back on my radar

oddly I think I liked him more with Flacco under center. Not sure with Burrow back. If there is ever a time to play him its this week with Chase out and the Pats being a better run D. If Gonzalez is on Higgins, Iosivas could have a nice day. Someone mentioned Fant but Gesicki sounds like he will be back.

but this is at least 97% of what liberals spend their day doing

did a lib get Helltoupee banned?

on my hopeful undrafted list for Villian good pick

Tyler durden was atop my villian list... i jotted down a bunch of heroes, villians, sports, funny, hot chicks after round 5, all bur durden are still available. Im hoping I have enough ammo at the end to submit a fun undrafted team

(peefoam) "Its real"

Add me. I’m your nemesis

This is great

I briefly considered joining this but at the end of the day I felt like it was really long for a topic that spans all of cinematic time and i've got nothing for pre 80's movies. I was more interested when I saw some chatter about NFL or MLB draft. But I do find this interesting so i've been following along. Hope you don't mind some early analysis I would have had a hard time not picking Indiana Jones in round 1 for hero but thats my bias. Of heroes I think Jerry made the right pick with Bond. I just think I lean toward a character who CAN be associated with just one actor even though it's not an actor draft. Makes me more invested in the pick. Vader was a great round 1 pick for villian, I would definitely have him over Montana Probably have Joker #2 villian As much as I love Jaws and Quint, that was the obvious pick that didn't belong in round 1 (jmho) if I were Jerry, I pass on Lecter and go with the HeroHero strat with Bond and Jones. Auto win of the category. Sports seemed early in round 1 but Biff made it work by snatching McClain for hero in round 2 (Dirty Harry would have also worked) The dude is a reach General observations There are a few characters I am interested to see not only where they go but what category they get used for I don't understand the punchable face category. Seems too subjective Overall, sports feels like one to wait. when this is over and everyone has their 28 character roster, depending on how depleted the pool is and how many of the characters I have in mind are gone, I may try to make a 28 character roster based on leftovers and see how it stacks up (which won't be well because the heaviest hitters will be gone, but just for fun)

you asked how it was different, not how it was specifically more affordable. Guess you are trying to move the goalposts because someone gave you an example and you didn't think anyone would. as far as i'm concerned, giving more options to people who currently need ACA is a good thing, and the plans they don't currently have access to, do in fact become more affordable.

if you want APTC, you are forced to pick a plan from a provider that participates in ACA. If APTC was effectively paid directly to you, you could then use it for any plan from any insurance provider you want. It expands your options. I've explained this repeatedly. How is giving more choices to those who qualify for APTC not a good thing? How is it not different than the current structure? you tried to act like paying the people is no different because they just have to turn around and pay the insurance company anyway... but you forgot that the people receiving government aid have limited choices and that government aid only goes to insurance providers that participate.

You asked someone to explain to you how paying the people is different than paying the insurance companies. I gave you an example. The end. We get it, you hate Trump. Have you provided any information that shows rich people who can already afford to buy whatever health insurance plan they want will be receiving direct payments to use on healthcare? If that is the case, then I would not be in favor of that.... but that was not your question.

no we do not agree. It would help people who can only afford ACA plans BECAUSE IT LETS THEM SPEND THE MONEY DIRECTLY ON A PLAN WITH WHATEVER INSURANCE PROVIDER THEY WANT, NOT JUST THE ONES WHO PARTICIPATE IN ACA your stupidity is honestly astonishing
