As much as I really want to go to the HSA Conference this year, I don't think it's in the cards for me, which is a shame since it's relatively close to me (on the same coastline at least). I might be able to swing the Seabeck Conference again this year though, so we'll see. 🤞

The House GOP voted on a budget framework that will take money from the social safety net and give it all to billionaires. Do you get it now? This is a class war. They've declared the middle and working class the enemy. They are Russia and we are Ukraine.
