How poly marriage would work is a fun discussion but you eventually end up getting a headache working out the math
Yeah, it's a goddamn complex issue. Mostly solved by just not locking things onto a spouse specifically. For example, insurance discounts for spouses could just be "If you pay X for insurance you have Y you can apply to the insurance of a spouse or spouses" instead of "Your spouse pays only this much!" And then making things like hospital visitation and such something you can easily just parcel out to whomever you want.
That makes collective marriage for tax reasons a thing though. 30, 40 people married somehow, how do you determine what one person gets when they divorce the group?
Marriage for tax reasons is already common, and it's kind of messed up given that it's a fuck you to single folks. You could require prenups for any and all marriage arrangements. I don't see lawyers being upset at 40 people showing up to give them money for a long-ass contract.
Also do you want to make marriage need a lawyer? Bad for the poor.

Marriage is good for society, we agree, which is why we favor it in the tax code.
Being rich is good for society with similar results. :P

Do you really want to incentivize people being in marriages they aren't all that into because there's a financial benefit, though?

wife really wants a grill but i think it will be a waste of money that we won't use very much. blah.
Get a nice cheap little charcoal thing.
Low initial investment, and it's fun to cook with charcoal.
I kind of disagree. Buying a cheap charcoal grill because you're worried you won't use it much is a self-fulfilling prophesy. Charcoal such a pain in the ass, takes to long to heat up. Gotta buy and store bags of it.
A propane grill is faster than the oven or stovetop for cooking meats and it does a better job and it's fun. I say go all-in.

I suspect I'll only be able to get you guys SO hype for Sunday morning's rocket launch today (apparently there's bigger news today?!?!)
But in case you're interested, NASA/SpaceX have released their Press Kit , full of cool stuff like the mission overview, a moment-by-moment description of how things should happen during the mission (including a timeline and fairly in-depth descriptions), and all sorts of other cool stuff about the Dragon, Falcon, ISS, NASA, SpaceX, the launch facility - everything you'd need to know to write your own generic article about the event! :P

Hi I'm Vee!Formerly VH; She/Her; Is an E X P E R I E N C ERegistered Userregular
If the next election cycle goes the way it looks like it will, I'm not sure how the republicans are going to bust up the current democratic coalition. Not with Trump shitting on Hispanic immigrants and not getting nearly the rebuke he should, with consistent losses in the realm of social progress, and tesions heating up over class and race.
At some point they're going to need to purge the toxic xenophobic and fundamentalist elements from the party so they can absorb the wealthy moderates from the democrats. There are a lot of city-dwelling, wealthy, semi-boot-strappy, socially progressive democrats who aren't thrilled with the party's stance on labor or who just plain want to keep more of their own money.
I don't disagree with this reasoning at all, and I hope you're right. I would much rather have a Republican party that is more moderate so I can vote for actual liberal Democratic candidates in the future.
That being said, I feel like people have been saying "the Republican party as we know it is dying" or something similar since the Tea Party became a thing, and I haven't really seen evidence of that happening yet.
