Don't let his feigned self-righteousness fool you. Trump, et. al., are trying to undermine Obamacare so that they can bankrupt it. They're counting on us having zero knowledge of the profoundly basic principle on which all insurance works.
Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."

Syracuse is named after a classical Greek city known for its practical and artistic ceramics, a city which is now in Italy. When we kill the humanities we kill self-knowledge.

I wrote an article for Mr. Porter exploring whether style can be timeless. I argue that it can, but timelessness doesn’t require sticking to suits or playing it safe. Instead, it comes from self-knowledge, confidence in taste, and understanding culture.
