“I was pissed. No disrespect to either player. But the nba taking on more payroll for an uneventful trade, while the team was losing money, meant the other 29 owners were writing the check.”
“We have no idea what healthcare costs to buy or costs to provide in this country. None. States cover Medicaid at some level, but not all offer the same care. Nor do they all receive federal support in the same way. Traditional Medicare requires supplemental and drug coverage. All of which differ by plan, and are offered by mostly huge conglomerates we should break up and are Too Big To Care Medicare Advantage is a…”
“Actually it means that we have run out of time believing Ideology is a Strategy. We have to take steps that are not based on slogans. We have to drive down spending and drive up revenues with preparation, facts and realization that there things that can be done. Remove regulation is not a strategy. More government is not a strategy. The math is the math. We have to reduce the deficit and spending. We need to raise…”

With or without the PTC the deductibles are unaffordable, and the max patient OOP is worse. If you can't pay the dedu…”
“Every day we get closer towards disintermediating the big vertically integrated insurance companies”
“It’s really simple. Our Robots and AI vs their Robots and AI. If we can catch up on robotics/software, and can stay ahead on AI, there is zero reason manufacturing won’t come back, or initiate here. At Cost Plus Drugs, the only thing holding us back from making generic drugs cheaper in Dallas than we can buy from Asia, are the fees we have to pay.”
“No Any electronic product benefits from tech improvements, but requires there be no component or other scarcity. (See critical minerals risk, memory and GPUs scarcity, forcing up pricing ) Housing - government can make it worse for sure, by introducing artificial scarcity. But we aren’t making any new land, we are exporting home buyers, and we aren’t making enough babies Builders require growth. When there is popu…”
