"I'm gonna post as an asshole" is not a troll

 

[Lily]

It's their personality

I looked up the income requirements for ACA...it's 4x the poverty level...for two people, you don't qualify if you earn over $81k a year

 

[jack]

That would be awesome!

I think you and my man would dig each other. And he loves using the charcoal grill.

He finds my interweb habits very silly and weird lol. My "online shenanigans".

He's not wrong.

 

[Lily]

That does leave a lot of people dishing out a lot of money for insurance

 

[Lily]

He's not wrong.

Nope, he's not. My guy finds them weird too. Once in a while I'll read something totally off the wall that's been posted.

I love it when he arches the one eyebrow. Often followed with "who even thinks these things?"

 

[jack]

My wife has given up.

He's not wrong.

I know.

I used to try to get him to join me on forums. Like 12 years ago. He refuses to have anything to do with it lol

He doesn't love that I do it. He sees it as a sign I'm not happy in my life....and he isn't wrong about that either. If I'm posting a lot it's definitely because I'm not happy in my life. Not completely at least.

That's very obvious to me now considering that I'm truly very happy in my life and I dont have the attention span or desire to get all into being on forums or fighting with people. I'll scroll and post for a few days and lose interest for a while and I definitely don't have the patience to argue about politics anymore.

If I were on them like I was a few years ago he would feel like he was failing me.

My wife has given up.

Mine doesn't try to persuade me to give up, never has.

He just thinks trolling is dumb.

Well, yeah. But I left California six years ago. Anyway, I know I and most of the adjuncts I knew could not afford it. I certainly don't feel like going into the details of my income on a troll board. But trust me, I knew what was going on with it when I spent my years uninsured. Every single cent we earned went into just surviving.

 

[Lily]

I'm actually agreeing with you. $80k is nothing in CA for two people.

I stayed married long enough that I have lifetime healthcare if I never remarry

 

[jack]

Ive been married 45 years. She is simply awesome.

 

[Murdy]

I don’t know how other people do it tbh. My friend is self employed with her husband and they are paying $1100 for him and about $800 for her each month

 

[jack]

for healthcare?

 

[Murdy]

Yes

 

[Murdy]

And they have life insurance on top of that… and then car insurance for underinsured at 100,000 per car

 

[Murdy]

You have to out here

 

[jack]

that's crazy

 

[Lily]

It's insane.

 

[jack]

I pay 175 a month for my healthcare and that covers everything, including my meds

 

[Lily]

I have lifetime medical from my employer...but when I become Medicare eligible, I have to go to Medicare

 

[Lily]

They will pay what medicare may not cover.

 

[jack]

Medicare is very good coverage, especially if you good a good advantage plan that criminals arent running

 

[Lily]

It's people that don't have employer covered health insurance or self-employed that are screwed.

 

[jack]

Like UHC for example, they're complete criminals

 

[Lily]

It's people that don't have employer covered health insurance or are self-employed that are screwed.

 

[Murdy]

We pay into

 

[Murdy]

Medicare our entire working lives

 

[LotusBud]

Yup. I had no employer coverage and my husband was self employed. It was no way to live. The US sucks.
