Why Are the Prices So D*MN High?

Andreessen:

"TVs are going to cost $10 and healthcare is going to cost $1M. As a consequence, we are all going to employed in healthcare and education which is actually what’s happening.” "if you want to send your kid to college, it is $500k a year…" medium.com/@zachullman/tr…
"sectors where prices are crashing by definition are shrinking as a percentage of the economy and the sectors where prices are rising are growing as a percentage of the economy...sectors where tech is not having a big impact are growing and will eventually be the entire economy."

When I write a 25IQ blog post like I did this morning on @skupor 's new book I never have an editor. I make changes to the text up to the last minute. I appreciate when someone picks up a typo. Two of my motto's are: write fast and furious and write first and ask question later.
"For 14 years he toiled unremittingly. He had his subject at his finger ends, and at last was ready to begin. He sat down to write. He died.

He did what he wanted, and he died when his goal was in sight and never knew the bitterness of an end achieved."

Somerset Maugham's Mayhew is an example of how you can convery ideas with a story. He said once: "I have never pretended to be anything but a story teller. The telling of a story just for the sake of the story is not an activity that is in favor with the intelligentsia."

My 25IQ post today is a review of Scott Kupor's new book: Secrets of Sand Hill Road (Venture Capital and How to Get It)" 25iq.com/2019/06/08/sec…

"Wise entrepreneurs understand how the VC business works, what makes VCs tick, and what ultimately motivates (and constrains) them.”
If you ever do write a book do it for yourself and/or because you love to help other people learn more. Writing for me is relatively easy. Getting people to read what you write is extremely hard. Few people will read my blog post on Kupor's book, but writing it was enjoyable.
Skilled and experienced professionals avoid time and energy wasting behavior. They tend to avoid pointless posturing and counter productive negotiating styles. If you have a choice between dealing with an idiot or a professional, dealing with the professional is a better option.

I will post a book review tomorrow morning on 25iq.com. Most people don't know how hard it is to sell a book if you're not famous.

"Year-over-year sales for top 100 titles increased 21% in Dec 2018, but sales of titles ranked between 100 and 1,000 declined 3%."
"Print books sales volume grew 1.3% compared to last year with 696M units sold The biggest bestsellers sold more copies than the year prior. In fact, five titles sold more than 1M copies, compared to only two titles that reached similar heights in 2017." npd.com/wps/portal/npd…
In 2019 the overall book market is down by about 2.5%, including a negative first quarter (-2.9%).

Writing blog post is similar to writing a book and one common point is critical: if you are not writing to make yourself happy via the writing itself, you will be disappointed.

#MN voters. Online voter registration is now 🔥 closed 🔥.

You'll now need to register the same day you vote (early voting is open through Monday, November 5th).

Here are the ID options.

Pass along this info irl!

mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/DisplayMessage…
Young #MN voters often don't have the requisite I.D. (namely, a bill with their current address in the precinct where they vote).

Let them know that they can bring someone to vouch for them if that person is registered to vote in their precinct (#3).

#HealthCare #ForTheRecord My story...
No one cared when Obamanation took my health care.
My family and I still have no insurance - we don't qualify under ACA giveaways.
Let EVERYONE pay the same price I did.
We have to pay cash or not go + $700 per person PENALTY on taxes!
I had insurance, could afford my healthcare my whole life. Why complain? The democrats destroyed it! Obama lied about how many didn't have "health care". It's MORE now. It's was never healthcare. It was an insurance scam.
There was never a health CARE problem. There was a COST problem.
Cost of giving "free" stuff to those who had no accountability for it was the CAUSE of the problems. It began with medicaid/medicare.
We were giving it to people who were illegal aliens as well as the poor.
