there doesnt seem to be that many using ACA marketplace.

I went two years after I got laid off in 2019 having to pay for private health insurance. I got one of those ridiculous catastrophe-only policies with like a $7000 annual deductible and was still paying about $400 a month. I priced policies on the ACA marketplace, with the same shitty deductibles but three times the premium as what I was paying. I just don't get why anyone would buy insurance there. Maybe the ACA policies are more likely to actually pay out in case of illness, I dunno.

One difference I know is the fact is that my private insurance did not allow me to get out of the mandated fine you supposedly had to pay if you didn't have coverage, whereas the ACA policies do get you out of the fine. But for whatever reason, I never had to pay that fine.

beef products very rarely (because it’s fucking expensive now)

I was in Acme a few days ago looking through the steak section. There was a porterhouse close to expiration on sale for ... $54 fucking dollars. It was a little over one pound. I'd be astonished to pay that much for a steak at a fucking steakhouse, cooked and brought to my table with sides and drinks.

If I want the taste of steak these days, I buy bottom round and flatten the shit out of it with a tenderizing mallet.

I'm a school bus driver now and it's great. I get to drive a big Tonka truck around and gaslight children. Sure, I make about 1/6 of what I used to make as a mobile apps programmer, but at least I get good subsidized health insurance and I only work 5 hours a day.

It's the second-best version of A Christmas Carol, after the Blackadder version.
