  1. CNN- Embassy is evacuated. Any historical parallels for a fighting retreat via fixed wing aircraft from an urban airport?
  2. My cousin on Facebook who thinks Trudeau is a dictator for not calling an election is now mad because Trudeau called an election since it'll cost money.
  3. Ugh, today sucks. After living together since May last year, my girlfriend moved out today to start a new job. It's only a 1 year contract (9months really) so me going made no sense. The city is an accessibility hellscape plus I'd lose my Medicaid slot and here have to get on a decade long waiting list there. She's only 6 hours away but with delta, her college not requiring masks or vaccines, and her schedule, could be October or December until I see her again.
  4. US, Fort Bragg sends troops to Kabul to evacuate some embassy staff WWW.WRAL.COM With security rapidly deteriorating in Afghanistan, the United States is sending in an additional 3,000 troops to help evacuate some personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, officials said Thursday. Airborne Brigade from the 82nd is staging in Kuwait and a Marine Expeditionary Unit is off the coast with a Carrier.
  5. Disability community only got half what we wanted: $400B for Medicaid home care but no SSI Restoration Act which would update the asset limit set in the 70s.
  6. Ugh, stop calling it Eldercare. It's funding to eliminate Medicaid HCBS waiting lists which have 800,000+ people on them, mostly people with disabilities. This is actually possible with the Medicaid HCBS component since States would have to accept. The ACA had an HCBS component which only 7 states accepted.
  7. Most of my disabled friends report it's about 50-50 when they fly.
  8. $56k? That's it? Biogen getting soft. Having gone down the road of rare disease medication twice, the FDA is only the first stop for commercial approval, next is insurance and I'd be surprised if they don't lock this behind a ton of quantitative requirements to show individual improvement or get cut off.
  9. Honestly, if Biden wants to drop the $400 billion for Home Care, that would be okay so long as the the HCBS access act is included. It gets rid of the Medicaid waiting list without putting a price tag on it.
