Any talk of Ed Stewart? Works for the Big XII right now, but I remember before Eichorst was hired, there was some talk of him coming to fill this role.

And now, with Trump throwing this back to Congress to fix, if it doesn't pass it's because of the obstructionist Democrats. http://www.newsweek.com/republicans-tell-democrats-well-give-you-daca-if-you-fund-trumps-border-wall-659488

The NK problem has been stewing and passed on for so long, and now that things are at a critical mass, it falls into the lap of the person least capable of handling this correctly. Perhaps that's why things are ratcheting up. Either way, this is not good news. I'm not sure what the right move is next, but after the 'fire and fury' comments and now this, we have pretty much backed ourselves up into a corner where we have to act now. http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/29/asia/north-korea-missile-launch-guam-threat/index.html

Just disbanded his CEO council after ANOTHER CEO decided to leave. This just hours after saying he has plenty waiting to join when people leave.

I've been embarrassed, I've been ashamed, I've been disappointed in the actions of trump. This has me downright <censored>. My parents grew up in Germany during WWII, they witnessed countless acts of horror done by them. Witnessing relatives executed in front of them, family members taken away and put in concentration camps. For them to survive that horror escape East Germany, be proud patriots that served in the military, fought in Vietnam, only to have the president defend nazis is sickening. No words can express the anger I have to the words he has said and what he has turned that office into.

Seriously WHAT THE....did the president just defend Nazis? Bleeping Nazis?? What the bleeping bleep....

And unless I missed them, the only one he called and slammed for leaving was the black man.

Yes, it's a thing. They do that so new people will see it. People may miss the tweet the first time, so they keep refreshing it in their time line. Many published articles are posted multiple times.

Oh Donnie, when will you ever learn not to tweet so much?? http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/08/politics/trump-retweet-fox-news-north-korea-story-haley/index.html

I'm sure Trumps all for it, have NK nuke those snowflake libs in Cali and strengthen his base....

The crime one. True crime, especially getting in the minds of serial killers fascinates me. I'd have LOVED to have taken a class like that.

Any one give Ozarks on Netflix a watch? Hearing a lot of talking comparing it favorably to Breaking Bad

That's what all insurance is, forced helping of those in need. Homeowners insurance, basically forced through mortgages, helps those in a crisis. I've never (knock on wood) have had to file a homeowners claim, but am I upset that I am forced to have insurance to own a home? No. Car insurance, in Nebraska, it's a requirement. Is anyone out there that thinks this is a bad thing and petitioning Ricketts to get rid of this? I'm all for freedom of choice, let people pick and choose the health insurance they want, but like other types of insurance, to be effective it should be mandatory. Yes, there are ways to get out of those forced insurances, I don't have to own a vehicle or a home, but if I want them I am required to have insurance. The same can be said for health insurance. And if you can't afford health insurance for whatever the circumstance may be, yes, there should be a subsidy to assist you. Government offers so many different subsidies to assist in the reduction of costs across industry lines, health insurance should also be one of them.

Well this might be interesting.

It will, mainly because of Congress and Trump. From my understanding, there are government contracts that have to be renewed to keep insurance companies in it. All Trump has to do is not renew those, and insurance companies will start bailing. Some already are because of the uncertainty of the contracts being renewed. If will only "fail" if the administration stops funding the CSR payments and does not enforce the mandate. Specifically regarding CSRs, the uncertainty around their funding is causing insurers to double/triple their rates: Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina said the company decided to more than double their requested premium increase due to the CSR uncertainty. The company has requested a 22.9% increase for the average premium in 2018, but said that if the CSR payments were guaranteed, that would only by 8.8%. "The latest news came earlier this week as the Trump Administration delayed a decision on whether to fight the House lawsuit," Brian Tajlili, the director of actuarial and pricing services for Blue Cross NC, wrote in a blog post on Thursday explaining the decision. "As a result, insurance companies can’t count on being paid for reducing cost-sharing for eligible ACA customers." Tajlili went on to tie the increase directly to the uncertainty surrounding the CSR payments, saying more clarity on the ACA's future from lawmakers could have driven the premium increases even lower. "In other words, with the right actions coming out of Washington to stabilize the market, the rate increase from Blue Cross NC would have been between 5% and 6%," Tajlili wrote. "That looks a lot different from the 22.9% we filed." Thank you! I was close. I knew it had something to do with government guarantees. Not guaranteeing them, all will ensure Obamacare will fail.
