Bengals fan. I have nothing substantial to offer, only smart ass comments and redundant questions. I once held my breath for 1:08 (not very impressive).

@MissMandy126 I'm ready for a scurvy rollout. Time to bring back a classic

I guess no one cared about the hantavirus so we gotta do this

If you think all we need to do in healthcare is let people shop for prices and they will fall, is ridiculous
The number of hospitals and insurance comps walking away from each other, particularly for Med Adv, tell us everything
That the entire HC system is designed to make it IMPOSSIBLE to price shop
Hospitals don't know their costs and can't set prices to insurance companies
Insurance companies do their best to manipulate transactions (latelq, underpay, deny, etc)
All of MA is an attempt by the carriers at arbitrage They bet that they can break the law, and never adhere to reporting regs and the worse that can happen is they might get fined
They bet that hospitals don't know their margins or profits on a per plan or carrier basis and they will make stupid decisions That is starting to change
Now they are using AI to manipulate prices and costs in real time, knowing providers use consultants for Rev mgt, making them unable to respond in months, let alone real time
They bet that by gaming MLR with subsidiaries, they can further break the law and not get caught
Bottom line , it's not an efficient market , due to zero transparency at the transaction level ,and the concept that individuals can shop based on price , when neither hospitals or insurance companies know what their actual costs and prices are , is insane
Carriers manipulate and obfuscate every number they can with the goal of making it impossible to know actual prices
Good luck shopping for prices on all bu the simplest, most obvious services

@LynAldenContact @IIICapital Thanks for pointing this out @LynAldenContact. If we want to do the math, then we have to do all the math.

@IIICapital But of course, since Bitcoin’s market cap was only like $65B or so, even a few billion of buying would have driven it up dramatically, reducing their ability to purchase.
Bitcoin had to get big and liquid enough before large pools of capital could get in at scale.
English

Berkshire Hathaway was sitting on $100 billion of cash in 2018.
If they used half of that cash to acquire bitcoin at $3,500 per BTC, they would have acquired 14,285,714 BTC.
Today that position would be worth $1.12 trillion, greater than the market cap of the entire company.

Berkshire Hathaway is now sitting on a staggering $397 Billion in Cash, enough to buy 479 companies in the S&P 500 🚨🚨

@ewarren So why did you block the Jet Blue, Spirit Airlines merger? The combined company would have been better competition than Jet Blue alone. now that Spirit is gone thanks to your intervention.

@RepRickAllen @HouseGOP None of that money will reach the farmers. John Deere, Monsanto, Mosaic, ect. will just raise costs to keep every farmer at breakeven or small profits. Stop calling it a farm bill and call it the agribusiness corporate stimulus.
English

Rural America needs a new Farm Bill NOW, not tomorrow. @HouseGOP delivered by passing the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026.
The best way to reinvigorate our farm economy and bring certainty back to farm country is to send a modern Farm Bill that addresses today's challenges to President Trump's desk. This bill is the answer. Thank you, @HouseAgGOP Chair @CongressmanGT, for your steadfast leadership!

@astnkennedy SKILL ISSUE - that's because you're not optimizing for clarity
my go-to is 3-4 pornhub tabs + a weed cigarrette on one hand + phone with tiktok on the other hand + some heavy trap music in the background
recommend taking 300mg of caffeine beforehand so you never get distracted

I'm 22 years old and Claude Code is deteriorating my brain.
Every single day for the last 6 months I've had 6 to 8 Claude Code terminals open, waiting for a response just so I can hit 'enter' 75% of the time. And it's doing something to me.
In convos with a couple of friends, it's been a point that's been brought up pretty frequently.
None of us feel as sharp as we used to.
I don't know if it's just us, or others in their 20s are feeling the same thing, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot.
P.S. I know this is a problem with my reliability/usage of it, not Claude Code itself, but the effects are real nonetheless

@CSandanista @ByJayMorrison @BengalsTalk I don't think letting him hit FA and testing the market will be very risky unless he just completely destroys everyone this year
English

@ByJayMorrison @BengalsTalk I'd be happy to let Murphy walk with an 8 sack year of it meant locking up DJT and Dax. The line is deep and he's not proven himself to be worth an elite contract yet
English

The de facto deadline for agreeing to an extension would be the season opener. Murphy will wait in line alongside Dax Hill and DJ Turner II.
Jeremy Fowler@JFowlerESPN
The Bengals are not picking up the fifth-year option for DE Myles Murphy, per source, but they have interest in keeping him in the fold long term. Murphy had 5.5 sacks for CIncinnati last season.
