Here's a Norwegian study that inadvertently destroys the idea that DEI is good for medicine:

- A one standard deviation increase in doctor quality is associated with a 12.2% decline in a patient mortality risk.

- Replacing one of the 5% worst general practitioners with one of average quality generates a social benefit of $9.05 million.

Doctor quality has a massive impact on patient outcomes.

Today is the anniversary of the death of George Floyd.

The politicians, activists, and corporate media who have propagated lies and deified Floyd are not actually misinformed and even stupid; they are evil. 

And it's truly amazing how many people - from the smug, elitist Bill Maher types to the pawns protesting in the streets - still believe the false narratives about Floyd. 

And even if you look on Google, the front page results are comprised entirely of fake fact checks and propaganda from outlets like PBS, USA Today, NYT, NPR, etc.

When in reality: 

1. Floyd was never a productive, contributing member of society. He had been sent to prison eight times for drugs and armed robbery, including for holding a gun to the stomach of a pregnant woman he was robbing. 

2. His life résumé consisted only of drug dealing, criminal activity, making amateur pornography, and living off of government benefits or in prison.  

3. He was arrested for the last time for committing multiple felonies, refusing to comply, and resisting arrest. The "I can't breath" narrative was pure fiction, just as was the case with the catchy "Hands up; Don't Shoot" phrase embraced by the media after Michael Brown tried to steal a cop's gun. 

4. Floyd's autopsy revealed he had COVID, corrosive heart disease, and had ingested 5x the lethal dose of fentanyl along with a cocktail of other narcotics.   

5. The original coroner's report said there was no evidence of suffocation or strangulation. The final report, after a clandestine consultation with the FBI, listed the cause of death as "homicide." 

6. Floyd's own family was so indifferent to his life and death that they never bothered to collect any of his belongings from the police or from his abandoned apartment. They did, however, accept a $27 million settlement from the city of Minneapolis before the trial had even concluded. 

7. The well-funded and well-organized riots that followed caused billions of dollars in property damage and led directly to the deaths of thousands of (mostly black) lives. 

8. The long term effects have been even more devastating: 
- Police forces have been defunded
- Police have reduced their activity and the number of interactions in high crime and minority areas for their own protection, causing crime rates to spike. 
- Soros DAs and judges have refused or reduced charges for violent criminals in the name of "equity" and "restorative justice," and have expanded programs like early release and zero cash bail. 

Here is the real George Floyd legacy:

I hope they do something cool with the old CBOT pit... other than pickleball courts.

But in loving memory of old school Wall Street, here are my favorite floor trader hand signs, before HR and DEI.

Things I’ve Learned
What I wish I knew at 18…

1. College is mostly a scam

I’m glad I went to college, because I wanted to work on Wall Street. But today, I wouldn’t waste $300,000 on it, and I wouldn’t want to work in banking. Instead, I’d load up on college credits during high school, go to a school like the University of Texas to have fun, graduate in 3 years debt-free, and travel around the world for a year.
2. Spend time with your parents

You probably have less than 200 Saturdays left with your parents before they die. And then you become an orphan.
3. Don’t wait for the perfect pitch

Real life is not baseball. There’s no free trip to first base, and you’re not limited to three strikes. Just keep swinging, and your “luck” will improve.
