Next infectious strain of Covid looms as we "return to normal." I watch (free!) video on the Crash of 1929, including the mass craze for speculation and "buying on margin." Really brings home what an irrational species we can be.
WOW. Winston Churchill, an avid stock speculator, happened to be visiting Wall Street on the day stock market started plunging. He lost a fortune.

One of the many sources of suckage in U.S health insurance, in this case as an "employment benefit".

1.
In almost decade I spent in one job, health insurance benefits became increasingly sucky, year by year. More expensive, more hoops to jump through, more DISINCENTIVES to access, particularly for least-compensated employees.

2.
The advent of the "high deductible" plan and its increasingly ubiquitous status, is the suckiest if the sucky, and shamefully anti-worker.
