2008年前後Medicare住院Part A基金部分面臨資金耗干問題，現在這個問題已經大為緩和，原因有幾個：（1）每一代新退休的美國人都比之前兄姐更加健康，在同年齡階段的醫療費用更低;（2）2010年醫改讓很多人在退休前就有了保險，不必把慢性病拖到65歲之後讓Medicare來支付治療；（3）2010年醫改對medicare支付方式做了非常大的改革，推動總額預付、鼓勵降低重病復發率，削減那種激勵過度醫療的“計件付費”方式；（4）2010年醫改對預防體檢等項目的推動和投入... #Medicare #ACA #Obamacare #MedicaidExpansion #Insurance

美國是有很强的“宗教左派”傳統的，馬丁路德金就是其中出名的代表，戈爾也專門去全時讀過神學院，只不過他不太公開說自己的信仰理念。這些年某些白人福音派有壟斷基督教解釋權的做派，因此這個時代需要有James Talarico這樣新一代自由派神學人士出來講“不要評判”“愛你的鄰居”這些原則 #Resurrection

The trendlines we see in the number of state legislative seats are more consistent in telling us where the US is moving toward.

All eyes on Iowa SD1. Early votes showed a Dem enthusiasm edge, though not so big election-night.decisiondeskhq.com/date/2025-08... #Elections2025

Additional factors: (1) Dems try to frame this special election as a referendum on Iowa's very unpopular governor. (2) The GOP nominee, who defeated a more moderate candidate in primary, were deleting his own divisive records and shunned at least one public forum event democrats.org/news/dnc-dep...

Odds favor her? IA SD1's 2024 Prez: R+11; average blue shift 2025 D+16; She outraised her rival 8 to 1. DNC mobilized more than 30k volunteers in a district w/ a total votes of 14k 2022. In Iowa, Dems won 3 of 4 US House seats in 2018 www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI0F... democrats.org/news/dnc-dep...

for some orher ppl in the allies, allowing French Resistance fighters (many w/ left-wing revolutionary flavor) take the hailing 1st was not acceptable...Fascism "died", yet discrimination thinking did not聞左色變的一些人不願讓有左翼革命者色彩的法蘭西抵抗運動率先接受巴黎市民的歡呼，儘管按犧牲的烈度來說他們犧牲最大。法西斯暫時完了，人心中那種標籤化認知沒有完,仍會在戰後以這種那種形式冒頭甚至壯大

I did some quick comparison between the net blue swing in 2017 vs the 11.85-point swing this year. It seems that we actually had bigger blue swings this year than 2017, even though our subjective perception might suggest otherwise. 粗略對比了一下，今年一系列特別選舉的平均藍移幅度似乎比2017年那個幅度還大一些，儘管我們主觀感受可能相反 #electionstat

I used Gemini's DeepResearch to do factcheck&uncertainty adjustment. The estimate now is: 11.85-point swing on average, similar to what my initial back-of-envelope result. Yet the tabular breakdown is more accurate this time. See g.co/gemini/share... #psephology #election for methodological details

Methodological note: I will further validate the estimate of a 15-point blue swing here 這個“向自由派方向移動15個百分點”的估算是靠“寫在某個信封背面的計算”back-of-an-envelope calculation算出來的。我會核對表格裏數字的原始出處，再用一些更嚴謹的方法調整。因爲我記得2017年上半年特別選舉的藍移幅度沒有那麽多。自由派花五千萬美元死磕的佐治亞第六選區選舉，較之16年川在這個選區的得票率并未明顯藍移，和今年花錢更多的威州最高法院法官選舉藍移10個點不一樣 #psephology

我認為這位退役四星上將+前德大校長可以考慮去選總統（如果精力足夠）。他曾講解自己如何在德大招聘中實施多元平等包容原則，講得相當到位：要求在面試輪中必須有弱勢族群的申請人，但不搞什麼僱用配額 #Diversity
