Biden administration moves to ban medical debt from credit reports

    Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for explaining. I've been fortunate enough to avoid major medical expenses or debt, so I hadn't thought of the situation you've described.

    Could you expand on why this makes such a big difference? I'm not very knowledgeable in this area. Is medical debt treated differently than other debts by lenders?

    My first thought was that medical debt, like any other debt, has financial obligations that lenders would have to know about to determine the amount of credit a person is eligible for. Wouldn't medical debt payments impact the amount of additional debt you can afford?

    I get that the law is the law, and the jury has to rule as such (barring nullification), but this is such a stupid law.

    None of our other constitutional rights are contingent on not using controlled substances.

    My comment and this thread has nothing to do with rightly or wrongly voting for anyone. Nor does it have anything to do with how anyone should justify their vote.

    I only reinforced the claim that anyone with a "D" next to their name is "fine enough" for progressives to vote for. A claim that you initially disagreed with, but are now proving to be true.

    That's pretty much my thinking too. I mean, what's the less biased alternative to get to the truth here? The law firm has an incentive to satisfy the people paying them, but they also have their own reputation to maintain.

    So I guess I'd be inclined to skeptically believe their findings. Although, it would be better if the firm released their own summary (or endorsed this one).

    That's the case now, but not historically. The big 3 were making garbage cars until foreign companies expanded their US presence with domestic manufacturing. Widespread foreign makes built in the US is relatively recent.

    What are you talking about? American made cars (majority of historical volume) were notoriously bad until recently. Hondas and Toyotas were the exception. Now the expectation is that every make/model makes it to 200k miles.

    And rust was an issue because they used inferior paint on older vintages. I don't see how blaming it on material deficiencies supports your point.

    Due to cost or reliability improvements? Or both? Because cars are definitely operational a lot longer than they were 25-50 years ago.

    I strongly disagree. If we don't nationalize IMDB then how can we possibly have any trust in the integrity and honesty of movie reviews?

    I think if they introduce a rotating calendar Imola would be an ideal track to have in the rotation. The racing usually isn't great, but it's not the worst, and it would still keep an iconic circuit in F1. Seems like a good compromise.

    You know, Jesus did grow up. You don't always have to call him baby. It's a bit odd and off putting to pray to a baby.

    I've messed around with Udio and Suno quite a bit and I think Udio is a bit better. Especially with generating vocals without an auto-tune sound. Although I don't think it responds to prompts quite as well.

    In the last 30 years, you can see a fixation in the West on diluting milk. Low-fat, ultra-pasturized, all that BS. Back in the 80snwe had none if this. It was just good, pure, American, 100% Whole Milk. But now, that's gone. Everywhere you just keep seeing this BS, and now we have fake milk. And ever since this shit got popular, you can see men getting weaker and weaker. Milk is an essential part of the diet, and Men need it for good Testosterone and muscle growth, its basic biology, not to mention the unpasteurized milk gave you immunity. But now, theyre taking allBack in the 90s, you could go outside and see good stuff outta the milk, its basically just white water now. And you can see the effects, back in the 90s, we had good, strong, masculine American Men. Nowadays, it's almost impossible to tell the average American man apart from the average woman (who also hasn't fared well from this globohomo milk BS). Don't even get me started on the whole baby formula thing. Let's just say MY kids will be tits-only, and we'll see if they fall to the Woke Globohomo agenda.
