So I turned off the game and am showing my kiddo the classic animated Robin Hood and it’s great. Missed the halftime show, I don’t know who Kendrick is and never have to.
I did not understand those songs and didn't like it.

Breaking: Taylor breaks up with Travis over halftime. She dates winners.
@BowTiedBull I’m getting 2nd hand embarrassment for the KC Taylor swifts.

@DoctorAnarchist If fairness they get arrested by the illegitimate gay son of Castro if they comment on their own politics. Yeah they’re pathetic.

💯. These little cards are always next to a $5 bottle of water. I’m pretty sure they’re grifting: the housekeepers are often illegal immigrants being paid slave wages, they want to hire even fewer of them by cutting down on bed and towel turnovers. And yet they have this self-righteous little card asking me to facilitate their con.

@BowTiedXmas @William_E_Wolfe 💯. This isn’t charity. The $ isn’t given freely. It’s a farce, using the name of God as cover for a grift and now that this is known must be stopped or else we will also be responsible for permitting the sin.

I’ll tie this to a post @BowTiedBroke made about the terrible quality of nursing homes. Broke, Medicare has decreased payments to physicians by about 50% over the past decade. For instance, if Medicare paid me $100 in 2015 to read an MRI, they’d pay me $50 today to read the same MRI. And while they’ve squeezing medical professionals, @DOGE has been demonstrating the limitless scams depleting money that could have gone to hiring incentivized and attentive caretakers and building wonderful facilities for our aging family members. Instead these clowns use their power to scam everyone around them, creating untold levels of second and third order suffering. There’s much to do to fix this. It certainly can be fixed. But the first thing to do is pry every ounce of power from grifters and never let them touch it again.
to save on healthcare, you must crush the doctor lobby. something no POTUS has been able to do, D or R. pharma saves money thanks to genericization of every drug in 10 years. it is a convenient boogeyman.

💯. There is no need for the NIH. It’s just another nidus of graft and corruption. Incise, drain, remove. @BowTiedShrike
Obvious now that the issue for the Harvard intellectual class has always been control. Tasked with reforming healthcare, their first step was to deal with those pesky independent primary care physicians by creating a system that would force them to sell to large health systems. The large health systems would be the MBA run non-profit that advertises in the Super Bowl , is paid multiples for the same service compared to a small independent practice, and routinely sticks the uninsured with insane list prices AND then sues them for payment. But they do have quality improvement teams that track meaningless metrics, and lots of well paid MBA admins to pull the trigger on $100 million EMRs, so there is that. I’ve changed my mind on NIH indirects. Even 15% is taxpayer theft. Let’s lower it to 0. Give the full award to researchers engaged in meaningful research and hospitals can negotiate with the researchers directly for “indirect” costs.

@BowTiedBull In fairness he had been dead for years. Remember that time he ratified the 28th amendment and no one cared?

@CoffeeBlackMD It’s fine. It’s read-only access. I’m sure if Congress and treasury have good explanations, they can provide it.

@CoffeeBlackMD “But muh constitutional crisis!” Nah, there’s nothing in the constitution saying we have to listen to idiots. Remember when Joe Biden ratified the 28th amendment, everyone blinked for a second then moved on like nothing happened?

@CoffeeBlackMD Yeah man. Sick enough to go on a vent? Even for a middle aged person, it’s weeks of work and therapy to approach a previous level…maybe. If everything goes great. Elderly…well, probably never. This is a discharge to a SNF. Which is likely permanent.
