Another stick Insurance companies can use to “encourage” vaccination. Refuse to pay death benefits of anyone who willfully refused to be vaccinated. Said death was easily preventable, but the policy holders refusal to get vaccinated violated the terms & conditions of the policy making it null and void. Just a random thought.

Absolutely illegal. There is nothing in any existing policy that would include such requirements. Insurance companies include all types of weasel words to escape payouts as is; but this certainly hasn’t been their radar.

OK, so I want to talk about that $600K donation that Jeff Green made to Equality Utah. I have to admit I am terribly biased because I’ve known the head of Equality Utah since he was a student of my ex at the end of the ’00s.

First of all, Green is already on record as having said he is going to give away 90 percent of his wealth by his death, before he announced he was resigning his membership in the church formerly known as Mormon.

Second, you just can’t throw money around willy nilly. The organization has to be able to handle it. Equality Utah has had one donation larger than the $600K donation in its past. In any case, $600K is as much as the org took in for the entirety of 2019.

Third, you can’t downplay how significant Green’s actions are. People resign all the time; they aren’t usually billionaires and don’t usually send out public letters and take 11 others with them.

Fourth, the church formerly known as Mormon needs this challenge. I have lived in Mormon country for 28 years. Some of the teachings of the Mormon church are damaging as hell. Bishops asking underage kids from age 11 on up very intrusive questions about sexuality, the way the org treats LGBTQIA members…it’s unpleasant.

So much more I could go on about, but seriously, this us a good and important thing to have happened.

I applaud Jeff Green for his substantial contribution to Equality Utah. My guess is that he is donating to a wide range of organizations in different spheres of interest. There are thousands of charities or similar organizations like Project Hope, American American Kidney Fund, Environmental Defense Fund, ACLU, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, ASPCA, etc that routinely beg for support and I have no doubt that several of these are beneficiaries of his generosity.

Diane Witt, 75, and Robert Witt, 87 were found deceased by a relative at their home in Worcester, Massachusetts, on Monday.

The discovery came after Witt, who hadn’t heard from her parents in severals days, asked a cousin to do a wellness check.

“Sadly, the outcome was unimaginable,” Witt, 46, told Worcester’s Telegram & Gazette in a statement. “I ask for some privacy at this time to grieve and to wrap my head around this turn of events, and this surreal loss.”

Kathleen Daly-Shea, director of media relations for the Worcester Police Department, told TODAY Parents that “there were no signs of foul play” and that the case remains under investigation.

Worcester Fire Deputy Chief Adam Roche told the Telegram & Gazette that there were were no signs of carbon monoxide at the residence.

A report from NBC News said that Manchin was concerned with the cost of the bill, and told his fellow lawmakers that parents in West Virginia would use the CTC to buy drugs instead of care for their children.

Allen said that could not be farther from the truth, with reports showing almost all the CTC money has been spent on basic needs like rent, clothing, utilities, medical costs and school supplies.

WSAZ reached out to the office of Sen. Manchin for an interview about his decision to not support the legislation and how it will impact West Virginia. A spokesperson said Manchin is not doing any interviews at this time as he waits for the situation to calm down over the holidays.

I tried to make this exact point on dKos to people pissing on what $600K means to Green versus what it meant to Equality Utah.

It’s also worth considering that Green is a billionaire because of the assets he holds. There likely aren’t many billionaires who are liquid. Most of his assets/wealth is likely tied up in the Trade Desk, which is a publicly traded company. So he can’t just liquidate his assets (as an officer of the company he has to hold a certain amount of stock; and he has a fiduciary duty to shareholders and liquidating would likely cause the stock price to drop meaning a breach of his duties - plus he’d have to report any transaction before doing it).

Someone that wealthy giving away their wealth is an incredibly complicated process. This is likely the first step, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there more donations to Equality Utah in the future.

I suggest they look at tfg, his family, and associates…

I posted earlier that $100b is a good deal more than a year of the child tax credit in total (if I got my numbers rigjt)

And this 100b is all theft

Manchin is worried about some misuse of the child tax credit, not every single person.

I got given a coupon for a free turkey. Ok, on the way home from the hotel this morning I stopped at the grocery store and found a semi-small one (10 lbs) BUT I also found a 3.5 lb whole chicken in the reduced meats cooler. Got stuffing cooking up to stuff the little bird, gonna put it in the air fryer for 25 minutes, add some quartered taters and give it another 30 minutes and hopefully have serious noms tonight.

Dude was 40. Same age as me. He was also in good physical condition (as one tends to half to be to competitively kickbox).

The dumbass checked himself out of the hospital and ended up dying at home.

I’m so sorry. I’m hoping and praying it’s very mild. I was so worried about you last time.

Thanks. I’m going to be OK. I tend to sleep a lot when I get sick and that’s my plan. I have food to eat and dogs to keep my company. It feels much milder than last time. my sleep cycle will be wonky so I may be keeping the hours of Sir Mouse.

re: #30 EstebanTornado1963

I pointed out on Daily Kos that 600k is only like 88 bucks to someone with 5 billion net worth. Of course I got jumped on because how dare I disparage somebody giving money away. Total conflating two different things.

I understand that, but my point is that you just can’t fling money around willy nilly, ESPECIALLY considering the tax implications of such gifts. It may be only $88 to Green, but to Troy Williams it’s as much as Equality Utah took in for the whole of 2019. And Green is just getting started.

The Caesarea area is one of the most used areas by amateur SCUBA clubs in the Israeli Med. There are dive shops right on the breakwater. Easy stuff to miss, especially because the bottom keeps changing.

Having worked in restaurants and delis a lot when I was young, I still have fantasy nightmares about slicing the tips of my fingers off on the meat/cheese-cutting machine. That never happened, but I cut my fingers a few times with regular knives during customer blitzes. Rookie mistakes.

One thing about this economy on a personal level: my son could come home from college for break and slide back into his job at Target effortlessly (they also make the system work that way; he said the company keeps employees like him on as potential “continuing associates” for six months should they decide to come back and didn’t leave under questionable circumstances). Anyway, they needed him and other returning college-aged kids at this busy time.
