Yeah it's been a known thing among comedians for a number of years, there's been a ton of articles written about it over the last few. Only thing new is the NYT tracking down who his victims were and him responding by finally admitting it this time instead of his longstanding practice of just ignoring it whenever it would crop up during a slow news cycle every few months. I think he's already done the best thing he can do by outright admitting it instead of this "they're all lying," "oh I don't rememember," "I thought it was consensual, sorry for whatever you think happened" denial game that most people play when accused of sexual harassment or worse. And he said he's going to be stepping back for a long time, which is a lot better than attacking the victims and trying to get people to circle the wagons like others accused of that kinda stuff. A lot better than Kevin Spacey's wack response, a lot better than the fucking pedophile we have right now continuing to run for Senate calling his victims liars. (Granted those guys are accused of a hell of a lot worse than what Louie did.) So idk. I get not wanting anything to do with him now. And I get not wanting anything to do with his comedy career ever again. It at least sounds like he has a chance at redeeming himself, I'm kinda interested in seeing what he does toward that end in the future, how he uses his position and influence to make up for his mistakes. I hope he doesn't just disappear forever, I don't think that should be what has to happen to someone like him who admits (finally, under intense pressure) that his accusers are being honest, that he is creep, and sincerely apologizes. (and not just because he's one of the GOAT stand-ups.) But if that's what he wants, to just be a regular guy for the rest of his life and disappear from the public spotlight, or if he just lies low for awhile then one day returns to humbly continue his entertainment career and that's it, preferring to leave the past in the past and not mention anything to do with sexual harassment again, I'd understand but would be disappointed.

Honestly your $600 deductible is the best I've ever heard of from someone personally, you're probably doing better than most regardless of whatever you pay per month assuming it isn't anything crazy. https://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/26/obamacare-deductibles-are-on-the-rise-for-2017-along-with-monthly-premiums.html Deductibles for individuals enrolled in the lowest-priced Obamacare health plans will average more than $6,000 in 2017, the first time that threshold has been cracked in the three years that Affordable Care Act marketplaces have been in business, a new analysis finds. Families enrolled in bronze plans will have average deductibles of $12,393, according to the study by the consumer insurance comparison site HealthPocket. HealthPocket also found that that average premiums, or monthly payments, for bronze plans nationwide will increase 21 percent next year for people who earn too much to qualify for Obamacare subsidies. A 40-year-old unsubsidized bronze plan customer would pay $350.23 each month for their health coverage, compared to $289.88 per month this year. That's more than three times the 6 percent increase in average deductibles for bronze plans in 2017. And deductibles for the second-least-expensive types of plans, silver plans, will average $3,572 for individuals next year, about 15 percent more than this year's average deductible for silver plans, the study found. Deductibles for families covered by silver plans are up by the same amount, for an average of $7,474 next year. Premiums of all silver plans are rising by an average of 17 percent nationwide. A 40-year-old person enrolled in a silver plan who wasn't eligible for financial aid would pay an average of $410.73 per month for insurance, compared to $351.02 this year. "With respect to 2017, it is immediately evident that the market conditions facing the unsubsidized are getting considerably worse," HealthPocket's report said. "The percentage increase for each category of Obamacare nationwide is in the double-digits." "Deductibles among bronze and silver plans, the plans most likely to be purchased by people without subsidies, are still considerably beyond what the average family has saved for medical bills," the report said. Obamacare plans are divided into four metal tiers — bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Bronze plans tend to have the lowest monthly premiums and the highest deductibles. Silver plans as a rule have higher premiums than bronze plans, but lower deductibles. That pattern continues up to platinum plans, which have the highest premiums and the lowest deductibles. Most subsidized Obamacare customers opt for a silver plan, because the subsidies can significantly reduce their premium, and because silver plans are the only type of coverage for which the out-of-pocket financial subsidies can be applied. HealthPocket found that gold plans will see their premiums rise by an average of 22 percent. Nationally, the average 40-year-old enrolled in a gold plan would pay, before subsidies, $522.45 per month, compared to an average of $428.51 this year for the same type of plan. For platinum plans, premiums are rising by an average of 15 percent in 2017.

Also you're probably like OP in that if you didn't pay for insurance you'd get fined for not having it and wouldn't really come out ahead. It's such bullshit and your premiums and deductibles are only going to go up year to year.

Do they make you pee in a cup?

Yer fuck't Obamacare is such bullshit

Bust that lip next time your mother gives you any

The John McAfee documentary and the Anthony Weiner documentary, both by Showtime

So you have something of value once the dollar fails

I'm about to move to under a rock

You should be getting paid in hunks of silver

I was like fucking how, but yeah something crazy like bringing kids with you to work multiple times is about what it takes to get fired from night audit. Those can be get fucked up on the couch and battle nights. Get a naraku or two and we'll battle royale

Zeni isn't going to like this

Dang you did good, even kept things accurate by depicting fuggs rejecting a black man specifically

I know you already killed it no need to keep playing this game

Counterpoint - because you do not make enough money to sustain your own existence it is your civic duty to feed your body to wild coyote, as should anyone who ever finds themselves in a situation where they can't afford to pay for their medical expenses.

Medical bills are the #1 NUMBER ONE Cause of bankruptcies in America But Packard settled his 3 digit unexpected copay IN CASH~! like a boss so anyone who can't handle their shit is the grasshopper to his lonely kissless ant

That hunk a shit wouldn't cover an ambulance ride

So, not a very large medical bill.

I prefer to have spider webs in my bedroom. Bug stoppers, utility pets

I'm dying

I didn't know they had fat caskets

Wow, I've never considered touching the stuff before but you're making it sound really cool

Perhaps you absorb the wit of those whose bodies you eat?

Only 1 of the 3 DSA endorsed city council candidates won, pretty crazy how very low turnout always is. If you can get like 5000 people to vote the same way on everything they'd rule the city
