    It might be a few years since I have watched it. But back in the day I thought it was the work of geniuses.

    Put a secret camera on TNCR, you will hear the same story about Biden.

    @Horace said in Another School Shooting: I think I followed her on BlueSky. You're doing God's work. Thank you, Horace.

    @Jolly said in Midwives fired: If it's more than one hospital, the insurance stuff is probably true. The problem with some midwives is that they don't know what they don't know. I've read, and posted, several stories of home births gone wrong when the midwife was up to her elbows in meconium before calling for help. THere are reason that OB has among the highest malpractice premiums. Among them is the fact that for childbirth injuries, there's no real statute of limitations- so the parent of a 15 year old can sue, claiming birth injury because junior didn't get into Harvard. There's no reason a midwife should be practicing solo without the backup of an obstetrician ON SITE. We had one guy who would offer backup to a midwife - but from home (he was 10 min away). He eventually gave that up, and the midwife left. Ask yourself, if you were the insurer, would you insure a midwife for a $5,000 premium? Potential payouts can go to millions. I wouldn't. By the way, all four of my kids were born at that hospital. Delivered by a real OB.

    The electric vehicle thing is just a handy political shiny bauble to dangle, it's obviously a much more fundamental problem. Alternatively, maybe Trump could award the contract for them to Elon and ask for a big discount?

    Yeah the more you learn about PBMs the angrier you get. Lookup copay accumulators too.

    I remember one of the Symphonic Etudes of Schumann has 5 against 2 in the right hand, against 16 in the left. I think it’s the last one before the final.

    @Jolly said in Bipartisan Frustration?: University enrollment is down. I think it will continue to decrease until a college degree becomes more affordable. More likely until 17 years after fertility rate turns greater than population replacement rate.

    They called me and released the results after they saw my email. I thanked them and told them I had already reported them.
