Nick Lodolo, what a start!
Strikes out the side in the first.

@yhdistyminen Do rural Appalachians think they currently don't have adequate health care?
English
Ok, but the libs have been doing the "I want rural Appalachians to have good health insurance, too" thing for a long time

@kelleypeter16 I hope he becomes an all-pro, but he sometimes had trouble even knowing where the ball was last year. He has a long way to go.

I haven’t heard a peep from Shemar Stewart all offseason, and that’s a good thing! He has put his head down and worked privately with a pass rush specialist and showed up to every voluntary Bengals practice.
He’s been quickly dismissed both nationally and locally after a year where he hardly had any training camp and was not healthy for any game after week 1.
There is a weird energy with some Bengals fans almost hoping he fails to prove they were right.
While I never expected him to be elite, it’s rare to see the truly freakish athlete EDGEs taken in round 1 NOT become useful players. The Clowneys, Walkers, and Owehs of the world didn’t live up to the hype, but became plus players for a long time. Shemar can absolutely do the same. There’s a reason some of the most respected draft analysts were high on him.
As long as he’s willing to put in the work, I’m willing to give him a full camp and healthy season before I rush to any conclusions on his career. #Bengals

First look at Shemar Stewart wearing his new no. 94 as he works through some shedding drills with D-line coach Jerry Montgomery.

@JoeGoodberry Ah, I missed that. Maybe the first half from last year is pulling them down; they finished very strong.
English
@kyleruth88 No his process is at the bottom, but PFF and other data hasn't been kind to the Bengals OL
English
The best OL of the Joe Burrow era, but is it actually a GOOD offensive line?
I think it's much better than what this shows.

@brent_giauque @korre1017 Trey is great! I wish we still had him. He will get at least 12 sacks for you this year.
English
Bengals fans gonna b real disappointed when Cook turns out to b exactly what Stone was. An average at best safety elevated by a great DC. He's not a difference maker
English
Pretty crazy the Bengals are spending $276 million on Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins and the Browns went out and basically grabbed the same guys in the draft last month

@GramsciGordon @JimJarmuschHair I think the word you are looking for is “entertaining.”
English
@JimJarmuschHair Yeah for me it's one of those things where it works so well where I'm not gut laughing but it makes my brain tingle, and those are the comedy bits that tend to stick with me longest.
English
I don’t think this is knee slap funny but the concept is so good and execution is incredible. I love this.

@kyleruth88 @rkylesmith US has some of the best outcomes in world

@ClarkJohn96138 @mattyglesias I have several issues with his presidency, but you said he raised costs and was unpopular. Both of these are untrue. The best argument you have is that the ACA indirectly raised prices . Costs were incredibly stable during his presidency and he left office very popular.
English
@kyleruth88 @mattyglesias law passed in 2010 , enforcement began in 2014. Penalties were instituted in 2014 if you failed to prove you had insurance coverage. Just out of curiosity, do you think obama had any faults as a president?
English
I don’t think Trump was a backlash to Obama at all, Obama was very popular in 2016 as the labor market finally got good.
Clinton ran to Obama’s left on several issues and was hobbled by saturation-level television news coverage of the fake email scandal.
Jill Filipovic@JillFilipovic
I think Trump was a backlash to Obama but it was because Obama is black.
English
@ClarkJohn96138 @mattyglesias The ramp up took much longer than from 2014 and the IRS could never really enforce unless you self reported. It was weak from the begging and has nothing to do with the increase in overall cost, if anything it helped it.
English
@kyleruth88 @mattyglesias federal mandate started in 2014 and ended in 2019
English
@ClarkJohn96138 @mattyglesias Young people don’t have to pay for insurance as the mandate was ended and was only in effect for 1 year.
English
@kyleruth88 @mattyglesias So a simple question. Since everyone is paying for healthcare and young people do not use even close to those services ... where does the money go ?
Most Medicare beneficiaries do not pay enough in premiums during retirement to cover the actual cost of their healthcare.
English
@ClarkJohn96138 @mattyglesias This is simply incorrect. Medicare is paid from payroll taxes. The ACA had nothing to do with that.
English
@kyleruth88 @mattyglesias Close, the ACA is paying for the baby boomers. It's a tax on the young to pay for the old. Because they didn't want to address the spending
English
@ClarkJohn96138 @mattyglesias Is your argument that the ACA somehow created then Baby Boomer generation?

@kyleruth88 @mattyglesias Comparison of the Two Eras
Period Increase in 65+ Population
Approximate Growth
1988 → 2008~31M → ~39M +8 million
2008 → 2026~39M → ~68M +29 million

@ClarkJohn96138 @mattyglesias I ran the numbers on your data points. This does not bode well for any of your arguments.
English
Yes, cost skyrocketed for healthcare at that time as well. What makes a difference between 1988-2008 and 2008-2026 was ACA. The increased cost was pasted down to younger Americans who will never utilize the healthcare they paid for, hence keeping costs rising since spending wasn't addressed.
English
@ClarkJohn96138 @mattyglesias You think the increase in costs from 1988-2008 was from Medicare spending alone? This isn’t a serious conversation.
English
@kyleruth88 @mattyglesias Again you're referring to Medicare costs and an aging population. We have a large population of boomers and Obama essentially shifted the cost of their healthcare to younger Americans and increased the cost of healthcare for all.
English
@ClarkJohn96138 @mattyglesias Go look at the date for the 20 years prior to that. The costs grew by even more during that time. You are upset because you are wrong.
English
I gave you data point to compare how costs have doubled and tripled since 2008. You gave me talking points. ACA was a lie and it skyrocketed costs for Americans while declining quality of healthcare and making insurers wealthier and Americans poorer. You're ideologically captured.
