Thousands of times every year, for many years, the largest provider of health care in Colorado has elected to do this.

Send process servers to the doors of their patients in search of money.

Money @UCHealth says its owed.

BUT... there seems to be a problem

A 🧵 Image
Let's start with the basics.

UCHealth is a MAJOR provider of care. It cares for millions every year.

So, yes, it is suing a small percentage of its patients for what it says are unpaid medical bills.

But... even a small lawsuit can be a BIG problem for its patients.

UCHealth has long insisted its litigation practices aren't unusual.

"Our practices are pretty consistent with other systems across Colorado and across the country" their Chief Legal Officer told me in January

But... are they???

BRITAIN'S SOMALI FRAUD INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

The sophisticated Somali fraud schemes operating in Minnesota appear to have equivalents across the West, including Britain. Britain's generous welfare system is easily abusable and accessible.

THREAD of Somali benefit fraudsters 👇 Image

After migrating to Britain from Somalia in 1999, convicted fraudster Shukri Yusuf falsely declared she was a single mother - allowing her to claim over £100,000 in benefits. This money was used to pay for luxuries like a new car and private school fees.

She received just a suspended sentence and 175 hours of community service.

Somali migrants Mohamed Goth and Feisal Aw-Isse Sad ran two fraudulent child care/tuition centres, falsely claiming to employ over 20 other Somalis, thus allowing them to claim tax credits.

Their scam cost the taxpayer £1 million, and the subsequent trials - requiring extensive translation, as many of the fraudsters could not speak English - was estimated to cost a further £1 million.

As of 2020, both ringleaders were on the run, having returned to their native Somalia.

How is it possible that (almost) all the new jobs created in Italy over the past 12 months are held by people aged 65+? It’s quite striking, given that they should already be retired. That’s what the @istat_it data say — but reality is the opposite. 1/N Image
The answer is demographics. Let’s take an example. Suppose total population is constante and no new jobs are created from one year to the next. What happens? If cohorts are not the same size, the change in employment is distorted. In general, you can forget about this but in the case of Italy the imbalances are so large that you cannot ignore them anymore. 2/N
@istat_it Here’s a numerical example. Assume total population is constant (1mln), and that there are 100k 64yo in the first year. In the second year 64-year-olds keep their jobs, move into the 65+ group and are not replaced by 14-year-olds. 3/N Image

There are about 6.3 million non-residential buildings in the USA and more than 107 billion square feet of floorspace that use about 3,000 TWhs of electricity.
Commercial customers account for the vast majority of this footprint, representing approximately 22.1 million customers across 5.9 million buildings and 96.4 billion square feet of floorspace, and consuming roughly 1, 740 TWH, or 59%, of total non-residential electricity sales
The most underserved part of this market are the commercial customers with peak demand in the range of approximately 100 kW to 1 MW, where behind-the-meter batteries can be economically sized, standardized, and deployed at scale for peak-shaving applications.

NEW @FreeBeacon: The Minneapolis hotel smashed up overnight by anti-ICE rioters was on a target list created by the Twin Cities chapter of Sunrise Movement, a radical group funded by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. 🧵 Image
Sunrise’s list catalogs nearly 70 hotels across the Twin Cities area that the group claims are housing ICE agents. It was updated Saturday—well before the attack on Home2 Suites—and includes hotel names, addresses, phone numbers, and even the "suspected" number of ICE agents staying at each location.Image
Image
Just hours before Sunday’s unrest broke out, Sunrise Movement Twin Cities hosted a virtual training titled "No Justice, No Sleep," which instructed attendees on how "to kick ICE out of your city" and "shut down hotels that are housing ICE." Image

Russia is building a “legal cage” for our children.

Every new law passed by the aggressor is not just paperwork — it is another lock on the door behind which Ukraine’s future is being held.

The Kremlin’s goal is clear: to make the return of Ukrainian children legally impossible. They change children’s names, impose Russian passports, and seal borders to erase even the memory that a child is Ukrainian.

We have no right to remain silent while the enemy tries to legalize kidnapping.Image

BREAKING: Grizzly Affair — American tech company’s networking gear is powering Russian battlefield communications in Ukraine. The company is Ubiquiti, $UI, a $34 billion Wi-Fi giant whose founder became the youngest owner of an NBA Team in 2012.
Based on Hunterbrook Media’s reporting, Hunterbrook Capital is short $UI and long a basket of comparable securities at the time of publication. Positions may change at any time. See website for full disclosure. Our affiliate Hunterbrook Law is in conversations with litigation firms regarding potential private litigation on behalf of Ukrainians impacted.
Hunterbrook’s monthslong investigation found Ubiquiti wireless bridges — banned from export to Russia under U.S. and EU laws — are widely used by Russian troops, including possibly in drone operations against Ukrainian civilians that the U.N. has called crimes against humanity.

“Without Ubiquiti, their Mavics stop working,” a Ukrainian drone officer with a callname Django told Hunterbrook, referring to the drones.Image

Facts versus fiction
اندازہ کریں۔ پاکستان کا زیر انتظام کشمیر 78 سال پہلے قائم ہوا۔ رواں سال اس کی متوقع امدنی صرف 112 ارب روپے اور اس میں بھی صرف 85 ارب روپے ٹیکسز سے متوقع ہے۔ جوائنٹ عوامی ایکشن کمیٹی کہتی ہے کہ ایڈوانس ٹیکس ختم کریں جس کا مطلب 42 ارب ٹیکسز سے ک۔ ہونگے۔
یوں ٹیکس سے امدنی صرف 43 ارب روپے رہ جایے گی اور کل امدنی 70 ارب روپے۔
ریاست جموں و کشمیر کے 6 فیصد علاقے پر پاکستان کے صوبہ پنجاب سے بڑا انتظامی سیٹ اپ ہے۔ پنجاب کی ابادی 13 کروڑ ہے اور پاکستان کے زیر انتظام کشمیر کی ابادی 27 لاکھ۔ ۔
پاکستان کے زیر انتظام کشمیر کے انتظامی سیٹ اپ کی تنخواہوں ، الاونسز اور پنشن پر رواں سال کوئی 162 ارب روپے خرچ ہوگی۔ اس میں آپریشنل کاسٹ شامل نہیں ہے۔ اس کو ملا کر یہ کوئی پونے دو سو ارب روپے بنتے ہیں۔
