Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

Exactly how Systrom described it to me for years. He tried to be a team player early on & make the best of it publicly, but the bloom was off that deal quickly, largely because of Zuckerberg’s petty behavior. He utterly lacks creativity and is envious of those who do. Aggression is his talent.
The co-founder of Instagram Kevin Systrom testified on Tuesday in a landmark federal antitrust trial that his startup was starved of resources after Meta bought it because Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive, was afraid of the success of the photo-sharing app.
At Meta Trial, Instagram Co-Founder Says Startup Was Denied Resources

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
