Should the United States adopt a universal healthcare system?

I run a 30-person company, and health insurance is my second-largest expense after payroll. Every year the broker comes back with a 12 percent increase and I have to choose between worse coverage and smaller raises. The Kaiser Family Foundation's annual survey shows the average family premium through employers now exceeds $25,000 a year. [KFF](https://www.kff.org/private-insurance/annual-family-premiums-for-employer-coverage-rise-7-to-average-25572-in-2024-benchmark-survey-finds-after-also-rising-7-last-year/). Universal coverage would take this albatross off every small business in America. My competitors in Canada and Germany do not spend their Octobers haggling with insurers; they spend it running their companies. American businesses are at a structural disadvantage because we tied health care to employment in the 1940s and never untied it. Decouple the two and watch entrepreneurship rise.

Should awards shows reserve equal airtime for craft categories and acting awards?

Editing, sound, costumes, score, and production design are not supporting paperwork. They are the movie. In 2022, [eight categories were moved out of the live Oscars broadcast](https://www.gamesradar.com/oscars-2022-categories-cut-live-broadcast/), including editing and sound. Giving craft winners equal live time would tell viewers how films are actually made and stop treating crews as expendable when ratings dip.

The weather app point is underappreciated. Blanket payout rules will just mean fewer small apps use location at all, and the giants who can afford compliance get stronger. Same story as always.
