Want a fact about healthcare that will really blow your mind?

Healthcare has almost no effect on health outcomes.

Is the US really spending trillions of dollars each year on nothing? Let's look at the evidence.

In 1974, the RAND Corporation ran the then largest randomized control trial on healthcare.

They recruited 2,750 families, totaling 7,700 people under the age of 65. Families were randomly assigned to one of five types of health insurance plans:

- Three cost-sharing plans: 25 percent, 50 percent, or 95 percent coinsurance, subject to a co-pay limit (~$5000 today)
- Unlimited fee-for-service care (the same plan as above, but with a 0% co-pay)
- Free care from a nonprofit HMO

Luigi Mangione's manifesto includes a superficially damning claim.

However, it's wrong.

I actively cataloged some of the worst behavior during 2020's cultural revolution.

Here's a round-up of 20 egregious firings, investigations, and excesses from 2020, so you can remember just how bad things got. 1 - Gordon Klein

Klein, a UCLA professor, was suspended from his job for politely asking why it made sense to give black students special treatments on exams.

Klein lost his ability to teach for this incredibly timid letter.

Step 1:

Sign up for a VPN (Virtual Private Network) that is torrenting friendly. ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and ProtonVPN are all solid.

About to spend 8 compulsory hours with my favorite stalkers (the SEC) The SEC asked why @LBRYcom couldn't just fix the price of $LBC to $.10

I brought up George Soros, the Bank of England, and the vast history of why prices can't be fixed in free market

Maybe he was playing dumb but claimed he still didn't understand so I told him he should quit

Some gems from my first round of compelled testimony vs. SEC

SEC is Q and I'm A

Round 2 is on Monday and I'm going to do even better 😎 Might as well dump some of the lessons I've learned on testifying to the feds while I'm here

1 - There's no offense, only defense. The judge does not read testimony. SEC gets to pick and choose what they show the judge. So your job is to minimize things that can be cherry-picked
