Nobody ever talks about this, but the reason you have to go to college is A, because Griggs v. Duke Power Company made it illegal for presumptive employers to IQ test, and B, inner city High-Schools basically aren't allowed to fail a student as long as they physically show up.
So you end up in this trap where a High-School diploma that you worked very hard for means nothing, because a kid who did coloring books and addition and subtraction got a paper saying he has the same qualification. Ok, then just give me an intelligence test, oh wait you cant, thats also illegal because it causes "disparate impact". So now the only proxy for basically literacy and ~105~ IQ is a 4 year meaningless degree that costs 10s of thousands of dollars.
But wait, now they hand those out to anyone, (1/4 of 4yr grads have an IQ of or below 95), so now you need a Master's, or specialty training, or a million other bullshit things. So you get them, but wait, a diploma mill in Hyderabad cranked out 100M guys who also have a Master's on paper, and will work for 1/3 the price, so now you dont have a job. Ok, ill work construction, but wait, you dont live in a State with strong Unions, so any non-specialized construction work is done by slaves from Guatemala, so you decide to stay home and take Percocet instead.
Awesome system we've built.

“It’s the economy, stupid.”
Maybe, but by most metrics the economy is kicking ass.
Which means “It’s the messaging, stupid.”

Google says that if schools want to use Google Search, they need to use its AI too.
Here's a better solution: Don't use Google.
Brave Search is a privacy-first search engine that doesn't force you to use AI.
Google is now threatening America's schools, saying they will turn off their core search functions if schools choose to entirely block AI.

🚨ALASKA, HOW TO RANK🚨
Peltola schemed to trick Alaskans thinking we’re dumb. We’re smart. In order to ensure we hold onto this seat, rank:
1. Republican Incumbent Dan S. Sullivan
2. Republican Gerald Heikes
3. Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr
DO NOT RANK MARY PELTOLA – at Alaska, USA

The habit of inviting the entire world to chime in on your every personal interaction to judge “who was right or wrong” is a destructive and nasty one that no civilized person should cultivate.

See, we can all see what you folks have been doing for years. The goal of changing the rules to sideline the current SCOTUS majority so as to displace written law with progressive policy has always come first, with the narratives cooked up to provide rationalizations just window-dressing.
WOWOW.
@baseballcrank says calling out SCOTUS' corruption AIMS at the destruction of the constitutional order.
Did he get a free RV for engaging in such hyperbole?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the house has $190,000 equity, you could easily get at least $140,000 out from a HELOC or 2nd mortgage, meaning the home does not have to be sold, but the inheritor could just use the equity to pay the debt.
My coworker's mother passed away last November.
She left her modest $190,000 house to him clear and free, no mortgage, completely paid off after thirty years of factory work.
He moved into the home in January to finally settle the estate.
Two weeks ago, a letter arrived from the state Medicaid estate recovery office.
Because his mother spent four months in a rehabilitation facility before she passed, the state quietly slapped a retroactive $114,000 lien against the property title.
He called the state health department, frantic, asking how a hospital stay could bankrupt an inherited home that had no mortgage balance.
The caseworker sighed and told him:
"Federal law requires state programs to claw back healthcare costs from deceased estates. The house cannot be sold or transferred until the balance is cleared in full."
He offered to pay a monthly settlement.
They said no. The full $114,000 is due in 60 days, or they foreclose on the property at a public auction.
A lifetime of working-class savings, wiped out overnight by a retroactive healthcare lien.
You don't own generational wealth.
You're just holding a property title until the state finds a legal mechanism to repossess it the moment you die.

Actually capitalism has largely solved hunger as the result of non-man made scarcity and poverty. And it’s made remarkable progress on curing infections. What has Communism ever accomplished that capitalism didn’t do markedly better and sooner?
USSR collapsed more than 30 years ago and capitalism is yet to solve world hunger, world poverty or people dying from curable infections
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Poverty/hunger isn't solved but poverty fell from about 2.3 billion in 1990 to 831 million in 2025, while 645 million still faced hunger. Both progress and hardship are real.

Former FBI, Director James Comey and I are both charged with the same crime; lying to Congress .He is allowed to turn himself in 10 days after being charged in private .My home is raided by 29 FBI agents at 6 AM to arrest me. CNN is there to film it LIVE
Ilhan Omar's home is raided at 6 AM. CNN does nothing but complain about it as a threat to democracy.
Two tiered Justice?

Hey Congress, remember this 2022 law? I think it was called the "Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act." And it passed 100-0 in the Senate and 413-9 in the House....

Which price would you like to pay?
$377.19, $150, or $80?
You probably have a preference.
So did my wife.
The lab sent us a bill for $377.19.
Holli called and asked for the cash price. $150 if she mailed a check within 7 days.
She then asked what they’d accept if she paid in full immediately, through the portal, while they were on the phone.
$80.
I hadn’t realized putting a check in an envelope was a $70 upgrade.
Holli reduced the bill by 79%. The lab work was already complete. The pathologist didn’t have to go back and examine the specimen with one eye closed.
I’ve spent 25 years working on healthcare affordability.
My wife made a phone call.
This will be difficult for me at dinner.
I’m delighted we paid $80.
I’m less delighted that knowing which questions to ask was worth $297.19.
Imagine simply paying the original $377.19 promptly and in full.
An excellent customer.
An expensive habit….

I mean, Armin is not wrong. The Kennedy Center stinks as a public venue and always has. It's inconvenient, it's ugly, and it's never known how to fill its spaces properly. I was the arts editor responsible for covering it in the 1980s and people who worked there hated it.
Destruction of the Kennedy Center is the kind of obvious good idea people oppose only because of Donald Trump's involvement. It is one of the most hideous and Soviet structures in the city, a building of ghastly, inhuman proportions and a place with astoundingly little significance to the country's cultural life. Have any major productions originated there? Can you think of a single important live recording that's been made in that building that's not a Kennedy Center Honors ceremony? It is not "America's mainstage;" this country has yet to devolve into a backwater where the national capitol and the cultural capital are oh so conveniently in the same place
The National Symphony Orchestra is wonderful, but it's maybe the 4th-6th best in America and has numerous other potential venues in the DC area (Constitution Hall, Strathmore etc). Same goes for the Washington National Opera, which had a brief period of global relevance 20 years ago and has since been an institution in long decline. The Kennedy Center's core tenants can survive without the giant kleenex box...

Weird how the most "humane executions" are the only ones that are ever agonizingly botched.

For the record, I posted repeatedly about how the Biden Administration used the Department of Education's email system to send emails to every single student loan borrower directly attacking Republicans for opposing Biden's agenda, and it neither got national media focus nor for that matter much interest from the Bulwarkian Right.
It was no less wrong then than it is now. Whether it gets attention and outrage is different, though.

A $24 million revenue opportunity gets a CEO’s full attention. A benefits contract gets handed to HR.
A $1.2 million expense reduction can produce the same earnings as that entire revenue opportunity.
At a 5% EBITDA margin, $24 million in revenue leaves $1.2 million in earnings. Reduce expenses by $1.2 million, and the full amount reaches EBITDA.
We delivered that $1.2 million reduction for a client through better health benefits management.
Owners routinely scrutinize the capital, staffing, and execution required to grow revenue. Their benefits spending deserves the same financial scrutiny.
If you would personally pursue $24 million in new business, why would you approve the next benefits renewal without understanding its effect on earnings?
Love,
Dutch

Maybe "doctors make mistakes sometimes" is a *damn good reason* to not have one of the options in a doctor's repertoire be INTENTIONALLY KILLING A PATIENT
