The Federal Government should just fund the other $2.2M and shame them. "Okay Iowa, if you can't feed your state's children, we'll pick up the slack for you. Please remember who cared about you in November."

Similar to calling in sick and calling out sick.

They don't get very granular, but they give a fairly detailed overview of the methodology here:

Edit: I used to subscribe, and as a result received their surveys occasionally. They seemed pretty well done, but people are people and probably aren't always objective in their reporting.

I'd like to pile on because I agree with the sentiment, but in reality it probably doesn't even make a dent in his wallet or thought process.

What about those that have sufficient income, but don't pay their bills and have defaulted on previous loans?

Eich resigned Mozilla and started Brave over pressure from Mozilla because of his opposition to same sex marriage, and financial support to anti-same sex marriage intiatives.

I hear ya. The KitchenAid stand mixers are still tanks though. I have one that's a couple years old. I abuse it a lot. It cares not.

You can prefill the needle and keep it in a pencil case. Syringes work fine through clothes, although not ideal.

I'm an insulin dependent (T1) diabetic. I keep a glucagon kit on hand in case of an emergency. It's a syringe and vial that needs to be mixed. The idea is that if you're unconscious, someone that is close can administer. If I were severely hypoglycemic I'd have problems, but my partner wouldn't. I could pull it off if it were prefilled, but you can't prefill glucagon.

Edit: I totally get it and agree though. Life saving medicine shouldn't have any barriers.
