Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?









FINAL update : Furniture Shopping with wife Me + Wife : At the “Source” Wife can’t believe we got everything $500 off retail that was quoted to us at Ashley + no tax (cash only) Saved some money, got a new couch, sofa set and gained a little bit of respect from the wife (maybe) but most importantly have a fun story to tell friends. *MISSION ACCOMPLISHED*












Bezos on CNBC: "You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you."

An example of this: Despite securing permission to mint the most valuable currency in the planet - 1,200 Manhattan apartments - the *publicly owned* mixed use WTC 5 project has recently been put on hold by the Port Authority as it doesn’t pencil out. This might seem hard to believe: there was only a 30% affordable unit requirement, and the median new build apartment goes for $1.6m in financial district - couldn’t those rich people buying at eye watering prices subsidise the 30% (who would still pay pretty high rents of ~$2k/month)? Turns out the answer is no: construction costs have risen at breakneck speed with the Port Authority citing 50% increases and US-wide construction cost indexes going up 35% from 2021. This price inflation is especially crazy in NYC, but it’s a worldwide phenomenon and governments need to get used to new housing not being a magic money machine.
