The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Schumer's career is over either way. He isn't running for re-election after this disaster.

And his failure to protect health insurance company profits, by protecting the subsidy, probably blew his chance at a cush seat on their Board. So now, the insurance companies will put one of the Trump spawn on their board, to protect themselves from Trump's search for scapegoats.

from the net sifter:

Health insurance companies and related PACs have donated approximately $2,998,119 to Chuck Schumer's campaigns from 1990 to 2024, according to data from OpenSecrets. This figure includes contributions from Political Action Committees (PACs), individual employees, and their families.

Total donations: Around $2,998,119 from 1990 to 2024, making him a top recipient of money from the health insurance industry.

Source of funds: The donations are not from the organizations themselves but from their PACs, employees, and owners, and those individuals' immediate families.

Additional context: OpenSecrets also reported that between 1990 and 2018, health insurance and HMOs contributed $481,665 to Schumer's campaigns


Steve...the wrong hill, for corrupt reasons.
