11.Dec.2025, THURSDAY 6:30pm at The Hangar

We gather again this Thursday at 6:30pm at: The Hangar Restaurant
on the second floor (there is an elevator in addition to stairs)
540 1st St S
St. Petersburg, FL 33701

We meet on the outdoor balcony (go past the bar and you will see the glass door to the balcony).

Weather should again be quite pleasant, albeit slightly cool at around 65F, so I'll be wearing a jacket :)

So...

• "Swing district Republicans brace for political fallout if health care subsidies expire" (The Detroit News) https://tinyurl.com/432435e8 ...I've read that the Republican proposal might be to encourage people to buy high deductible insurance and use Health Savings Accounts - rather than extend the ACA subsidies.

If you show up and can't find us, just ask at the staff where the St Pete Drinking Liberally group is seated :)

Please note that several "regulars" show up most weeks, and therefore do not RSVP. Don't worry if you are new and only see a few RSVPs if you look at Meetup :) Anyone is welcome (as long as they are civil), and we talk about pretty much ANYthing -- some of which is political and plenty that is just life in general :)
