The more concrete problem is what course of action a US citizen could agitate for to lower the risk. I think probably the best answer is cut off weapons to Ukraine and lean on them to sue for peace now. But if that's the way forward, people should make the case

I think there are also some pretty thorny long term arms control issues around that course, independent of what it would mean for Ukrainians. You don't *really* want to incentive threatening nukes as a means of winning conflicts or annexing territory more broadly.

Chris Hayes "sue for peace" comment:
His whole comment makes him look like much less of an asshole IMHO:

NEW FROM @CBSNewsPoll: House Republicans have a lead. But it keeps shrinking. Their anticipated majority has ticked down for the second straight month to 223 seats in our model estimate. Republicans were at 226 in August and 230 in July.

Your 2022 midterm prediction based on the current political environment
What do you think will happen?

Also considering most polls are putting women at 49-52% and substantially have shifted towards Democrats, it isn't crazy to think Dems are currently holding a far more substantial lead.

Question about health insurance coverage
For anybody who might have the proper knowledge: Thanks in advance!
If you are injured on your property and your health insurance contacts you after paying for the majority of your treatment to get your property insurance to pay -and pressure you to file a property insurance claim, are you obligated to respond accordingly and how legal are their actions?

I am sick and tired of trickle-down economics. It has never worked.
We're building an economy from the bottom up and middle out.

The rethug governors are trying to shift the discussion
From abortion being the major issue to immigration by doing a buncha illegal and inhumane shit. Should we be calling them out on their illegal and inhumane shit to include abortion bans and human trafficking?
