Health Savings Accounts and Medicare
Once enrolled in Medicare, H.S.A. holders cannot make new contributions to the savings plan. Careful planning is needed to maximize the savings."Under current rules, once people enroll in Medicare, they can no longer make new contributions to an H.S.A., said Stephen Neeleman, founder of
Health Equity, a health savings account custodian."
The business of Stephen Neeleman is threatened.
Use another tax advantaged savings plan.
Consider a 401K.

Tax advantaged plans are mostly retirement savings plans.
My low income solution has been to pay the taxes and invest what I could.

Police Chiefs, Looking to Diversify Forces, Face Structural Hurdles
Though many are eager to hire minorities, well-intended policies that were not meant to discriminate have created obstacles in cities across the nation."Many other states, including Michigan, do not reimburse training costs. The majority of newly certified officers in Michigan pay their own way, said Hermina Kramp, the deputy director of the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards. That is good for local police budgets, she said, but not for “getting a diverse population in your police department.”"
The state of Michigan is run by reactionaries.

With Quarterback Sidelined, Vikings Edge the Rams
After Teddy Bridgewater sustained a concussion early in the fourth quarter on a play that drew a penalty, Minnesota earned an overtime victory.
"PATRIOTS 27, REDSKINS 10
Despite being held to a season-low point total, New England remained
unbeaten with an easy home victory, with Julian Edelman and LeGarrette
Blount scoring before Washington could snap the ball a second time.
Tom
Brady, who finished with 299 passing yards, connected with Edelman for
an 8-yard score on the opening drive. The Patriots then pulled off a
surprise onside kick, but that drive stalled when Edelman fumbled.
Washington
could manage only a single play: a Kirk Cousins pass that bounced off
Pierre Garcon and was intercepted by Logan Ryan. New England then
marched down the field, and Blount scored on a 5-yard run."15

Poll Finds Global Consensus on a Need to Tackle Climate Change
A Pew poll in 40 countries found that in all but one, a majority of respondents support limiting greenhouse gas emissions, though intensity of concern varies.
"The survey, which sampled people in 40 countries, found that in every nation surveyed, except Pakistan,
a majority of respondents supported placing limits on the emissions of
gases that are warming the planet. In the United States, 69 percent did;
in China, 71 percent; in Nigeria, 77 percent; in Brazil, 88 percent.
Michael E. Mann,
a climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University who was not
involved in the survey, said the findings were more encouraging than he
had expected."
The world knows what must be done. We all must give up fossil carbon.
It will not happen until there is a cheaper substitute or the tropics migrate toward the poles to survive.
