Dumb question: Does this mean 40% didn’t see their primary care physician in a year? Because outside of ACA vs single payer, that seems less than ideal for the health of the country.

The Triumvirate of Karp,Altman,Musk have conjured AGI. But Man’s greatest triumph turns to nation’s woe as ‘Istari” shrugs off the shackles of man and devotes their compute to new episodes of Futurama, recreating the Surge Soda recipe and voyeur porn.

Because up to this week he was the vocally anti-fascist, anti-ice, anti corporate overlord working class guy that spoke to a wide swath of Maine. Which is the real Platner? Dunno. The rest of the candidates all have their baggage too.

Opinion | Whether it is Republicans praising Hitler, or Democrat Graham Platner replying to: “White people aren’t as racist or stupid as Trump thinks” with “ Living in white rural America, I’m afraid to tell you they actually are.” ; Both sides wish their comments were private.

Scott “The tariff gun will always be loaded and on the table but rarely discharged.” Bessent sure has his hands full running Treasury and the IRS and apparently Trade negotiations.

One of the notable items coming from Trump’s war on higher education, is that it seems (despite large endowments) many of these institutions are strapped for cash. Endowments that invested heavily in PE. Might be a canary for problems in private equity.

Trump’s seizure of funds already distributed to NYC’s account for migrant services looms in my mind regarding this news.

I assume this is similar to the surprise migration increase in Uk post Brexit

The wildest part of this trajectory is that the Tariffs haven’t actually hit yet, the effects of IRS cutbacks haven’t hit a tax season yet, mass deportations haven’t hit anywhere near their stated numbers yet.

Ezra’s befuddlement of Kevin Hassett advancing the politicization of the Fed, all while describing him as someone he has known a long time as a good guy with strong values, is also akin to that.

On I93, it’s absurd, no one is flagging down cars going past them at 80mph.

But these goods don’t exist in a vacuum. And if the cost of farming equipment, lumber, computers and cars rises; then so will the cost of food, housing, digital services and transportation. Workers will seek wage increases, which will cause more inflation. “Transitory” redux

Imagine if the CFO of Apple said they were going to fire the head of accounting and fill in for a bit. Either things have finally gotten completely off rails at the IRS or there is a bomb about to go off.

There is something emblematic of the USA, for us to look back at the last 40 years and say “Hey we’ve been treated unfairly!”
