The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing rich people the most expensive medical care is better.
They think they’re smart but they’re so obviously being grifted. I literally had to argue with this guy once that more data isn’t automatically better. VIP care will kill them.

For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.
What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?
Who in the USA gov runs the program?
R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?

In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.

I think this is right. It’s like when a family has decided to tolerate an abusive drunk. They know what he’s like and they’ve priced it into their decisions and they don’t want to hear you talk about it.
Yes, Fox makes people dumber, but I think many of you underestimate how many Trump supporters go to Fox because they already know he’s terrible and they don’t want to hear about it
For my own edification, I started watching Fox News. Their audience has no clue about any of Trump's failings. Any thing negative will not be reported, or if it is, it'll be cast as a false accusation made by evil Dems.
I know several Ivy League graduates who fell for the narrative. It's nuts.

Yesterday, Powell said that payrolls maybe overstated by about 60K per month. That would leave us with net negative job growth since April.

Last week Netflix announced a $82.7 billion acquisition of Warner Brothers, after elbowing out rival acquisition bids (for now) by Comcast/NBC and Paramount/CBS. But as we noted then, the deal still needs regulatory approval from Trump, who has already stated several times that he'd prefer it if his billionaire bestie new owner of CBS, Larry Ellison, comes away victorious. And the Ellison family, via Paramount (with Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and Saudi money), have…

I'll be blunt; if we're wrong and they overturn birthright citizenship then my biggest fear is that we're on the path to a new civil war. After all, that's what happened with Dred Scott 1.0, and this would be Dred Scott 2.0.
I don’t necessarily disagree with this prediction, but I do think it would be helpful for people if litigators and legal scholars wrote about what happens if they’re wrong and the court does rule in the administration’s favor
To give some sense of why I am so confident about this, I have talked to MANY other litigators on these issues, some of the top people in the country, and my views are almost universally held. The broad consensus among pretty much everyone I know is that the Court will rule against him on this.
