Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead

Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a “scamdemic.”
My dad died during the pandemic; we weren't able to visit him in the hospital because of it. Every aspect of that horrible tragedy was real. And exacerbated by Musk’s co-POTUS.
I’m seeing red. 😡

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.
And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.
There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.
If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.
