Another solution to water crisisThe year is 2123. It is time again for the annual water auction for Arizona. Anybody can bid for the available water. This water is in addition to a state-mandated amount. So if you want to buy more water for your pool or three acres of grass or a vegetable farm, you can. You bid for a specific amount of water and the unit price you are willing to pay is $1,000 for 1,000 gallons. The highest bid per unit wins. The process continues until all the water is sold.
After reading this article, I was very concerned about the suggestion that the elderly on Medicaid were given a personal needs allowance as low as $30/month. Apparently, this minimum allowance is set by the U.S. government. However, each of the states may choose to pay more. Upon further research, I found that, in Alabama, Illinois, North Carolina, and South Carolina, the allowance is the $30/month minimum. Alaska has the largest allowance, $200/month.
First, the Biden cuts reflect the reality that Medicare Advantage has been grossly under-priced since its inception.

You still can't get “something for nothing.” Someone has to pay for the underestimated usage and costs.
Justine Wadsack keeps spouting off about a book she hasn’t even seen but believes it’s harmful. She had better ban cable tv and the entire Internet while she’s at it. If anyone thinks banning a book removes it from kids, it doesn't. It just makes them want to read more. At least they can get these books from their public library or local bookstore.
