So now the prices at whole foods will only be 10x what they should be? YAY!!!!! Go Amazon, GO!!!!!
(Hopefully my sarcasm and general "fuck whole foods in their snooty ass" attitude was clear from that statement...)

I'm actually impressed. When they get enough of the charging stations up and running, it'll even work well for OTR. Realistically, the farthest a driver can get in the 11 hours of driving time is 650 miles in a day (assuming they spend all day in states with a 70mph speed limit or higher.) A half-hour break to get a quick boost charge would be less time that it takes to eat lunch/dinner, and trust me, you don't want to be sitting all day anyway.

So this year my Health insurance plan costs me $818 per month.
Just went through Healthcare.gov to see how screwed I am this year.
The plan on the left is the "same" as my plan this year was.
The plan on the right is the lowest premium cost plan of all 25 plans available to me.
