Before Citizens United, billionaires spent around $16 million on presidential elections. In 2024, they spent $2.6 BILLION. And what did they get for that money? They got a MASSIVE tax cut for themselves.

This will not end well for us.

This explanation of the 'greenhouse effect' in 1985 by Dr. Carl Sagan remains a landmark of science communication for its clarity and planetary perspective.

Unreal numbers 👀⚡️ "JPMorgan estimates that, had Germany not phased out nuclear power, the country would have generated 50% less electricity from fossil fuels and 84% less electricity from natural gas in 2024. Electricity prices in Germany would have been around 25% lower, and the country would have imported half as much electricity.."

He couldn’t answer a single question because he is afraid to admit that this war is on behalf of Israel.

I resigned from OpenAI. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn’t an easy call. AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I’m proud of what we built together.

Mexico could, if it chose to, inject real chaos into global financial markets with silver exports being the most obvious pressure point. The fact that this is not even part of the conversation is telling. The leverage exists but the awareness does not. This is a basic failure of statecraft. Policymakers speak fluently about norms and cooperation while overlooking the few hard assets that actually move markets. The result is comic: a country with genuine leverage behaving as if it has none, largely because it does not realize it does.

4,000 daycares were discovered in a 20 mile radius around Boston Massachusetts There are “clusters” of condos and homes that are registering themselves as daycares Americans can’t even fathom the theft and money laundering taking place nationwide. Why are any of us paying taxes

Novak Djokovic: “My kids don't have cell phones and won’t until they’re mature enough. They complain everyone at school has one except us. When everyone follows the herd, conformity is expected. But it doesn’t have to be that way. That’s where we differ.”

The numbers don’t lie—insurance middlemen and hospital billing departments collude to inflate prices, knowing insurers will pay the markup while patients get stuck with the “negotiated” scraps. A basic metabolic panel costs $25 cash at Labcorp but magically becomes $250+ once insurance “discounts” are applied. This isn’t healthcare—it’s a racket where bureaucrats and corporate contractors profit by layering complexity. Medicare fraud alone bleeds $60B annually from taxpayers, yet D.C. keeps rubber-stamping the same broken system. Real reform means slashing the red tape that lets hospitals charge $242 for a Vitamin D test that clinics provide for $75. Cut the middlemen, enforce price transparency, and watch costs plummet.

American doctor shows how bad we’re being ripped off by US Health Insurance Companies She shows a list of blood work a doctor would order With insurance they say it’s $1,086.75, patient pays $252.12 The cash price for the exact same bloodwork is $44 Health insurance is a criminal enterprise

It’s not a ‘conspiracy theory,’ this is directly from an American Doctor. He says it’s almost always CHEAPER to not use your health insurance He says insurance charges $2,000 for 1 image, cash price is 2 for $300, he says it’s like this for all imaging. “Guys, cash is king. So anytime you get any imaging ordered by a provider, whether that's an ultrasound, echocardiogram, MRI, CAT scan, etc. Always try to determine the cash pay of what that would cost prior to using insurance. It's often much, much cheaper.” Here's an example script that I provide for patients prior to doing for that. So when you call up an imaging center, these are four questions that you're going to ask - Number one, what is your cash or self pay price for blank? - Number two, does that price include the radiologist interpretation and report? - Number three, are there any additional facility or technical fees I should know about? - Number four, do you offer any discounts for paying up front? So when you do this, always do this before opting to use insurance. Once insurance is billed, you can't go back and you know, in hindsight and pay cash. I recently had a patient who, you know, got an echocardiogram done opted to go through insurance and end up costing about $2,000. Had they decided to use cash pay, it probably would have been 2 to $300. So this may save a few bucks.”

Another one: “I'm getting an MRI. And the price if I use insurance is $4,600. And the price if I don't use insurance and pay cash is $400” “Make that make sense” US Health Insurance Companies are out of control
