$3 billion to make a better website.
Wait? Not $3billion? 3 people?
The second Obama term
What a perfect example of how the US gov't has become completely hopeless when it comes to implementing anything technological.
WWII-era US gov't:
1938: Nuclear fission discovered.
1945: US drops two working nuclear bombs.
Modern US gov't:
1969: DARPA funds ARPANET.
1991: World Wide Web goes public.
2013: US gov't can't make a functional website for less than seven figures, even with a year plus of notice.

So I went to healthsherpa and tried it out. It's super fast, works well.
Except, It mapped my zip code wrong.
I live in Wake County, next door.

Sure there is. Those 3 dudes did things too efficiently. The politicians need to cloak their bribery with huge, wasteful initiatives. That makes it illegal by the unwritten laws of DC.GORDON wrote:I'm sure there's some law making it illegal for the government to use their website.

I hate that state.
The California Endowment, a private foundation that is spending millions to promote President Barack Obama's signature law, recently provided a $500,000 grant to ensure TV writers and producers have information about the Affordable Care Act that can be stitched into plot lines watched by millions.

Captain hindsight chimes in.
Go fuck yourself and do something useful about the present, you shitty excuse for colostomy bag run-off.
Attorney General Eric Holder said on Monday that accused September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged co-conspirators would already have been convicted and set for execution if they had been tried in civilian courts as Holder wanted in 2009.

Obama is proud of the blood on his hands.
Who the fuck brags about something like that?
Top hospitals are opting out of Obamacare.
We already knew "you can keep your insurance" was bullshit. Now "keep your doctor and get treatment everywhere" is also bullshit.

Federal gov't: International treaties trump local law.
To repeat: an international chemical weapons treaty set up in '97 is being used to prosecute a woman who burned the thumb of the chick her husband was humping. Did she do something criminal? Yeah. Why the fuck is this a federal case, though? This is fucking stupid.
Precedent?
I can see a lot of similarities between early twentieth century ornithology and twenty-first century chemical weapons.
What had the justices up in arms was Verrilli's assertion that a federal law implementing the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1997 was used properly against 42-year-old Carol Anne Bond for an attack that burned the thumb of her husband's lover.

Precedent?
In defending their prosecution, federal officials cite a 1920 precedent, Missouri v. Holland, in which the Supreme Court ruled Congress could supersede state jurisdiction when implementing a treaty — in that case, a pact with Canada on the treatment of migratory birds.

My health care plan rocks ass, even though the chief architect quit last week.
Tony Trenkle is the chief information officer at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency that built the Affordable Care Act’s online portal. He is in charge of Henry Chao, a deputy chief information officer at Medicare whose name came up in congressional hearings as the source of key HealthCare.gov decisions.
...
“Our chief operating officer announced yesterday Tony has accepted a position in private sector,” Medicare spokeswoman Julie Bataille told reporters this afternoon.

RALEIGH, N.C. — "Women drivers, rain and Obama care" were causing problems on the beltline Wednesday afternoon, according to a traffic alert from the North Carolina Department of Transportation. "Stay home," the alert advised.
Seems legit.

Raise minimum wage.
Go on, do it.
In other words, this bill would make it more expensive to hire workers and cheaper to buy the technology to replace them.
Go on, do it.
