50 Questions to ask your spouse I’m passionate about the intersection of entrepreneurship and marriage. Entrepreneurship is lonely when things aren’t good at home.

@jliemandt This is a very strange success metric. If my kids would rather go to school than go with the family on vacation I’d be very concerned

Texas Sports Academy beats Alpha School. 50% of students at Texas Sports Academy would rather go to school than go on vacation (Alpha was only 43%). As principal of Alpha School: challenge accepted.
malekai@malekaimischke

With Spring Break coming up, we asked 92 students at Texas Sports Academy: “Would you rather go to school or go on vacation?” Exactly 50% said they’d rather go to school. 🔥 The goal is to get that to 75% by the end of the school year. Full survey results:

He didn’t buy the property. It was a long term lease in which he had $3B of liabilities plus he had to rebuild the site. The $14m was an upfront payment on that lease. It took so long to settle. I was long gone by the time the final number is penciled out, but at the time I left it didn’t look like this was a huge money maker.

2 months before 9/11, the World Trade Center was privatized and sold to Larry Silverstein (✡️) for only $14 million. It was his consistent daily routine to eat breakfast in the North Tower on the 91st floor. But in a miracle of timing, he skipped this regular breakfast on 9/11, as his wife made him an "emergency dermatologist appointment" that day. Miraculously again, he also had bought an insurance plan on the WTC that "fortunately" covered terrorism. Following the 9/11 attacks, "Lucky Larry" collected $4.5 billion in insurance, a 30,000% gain on his initial investment of $14 million.

$BTC bro. You are done. Cooked. Toast. EL finito. You had a hell of a run - well played. But now it is game over. It always was based on hype, not fundamentals. Now that the mo is gone, all you are left with is the chart and narrative. You can’t defend the valuation. Nobody can. Four year cycle, stock to flow, digital gold - what is the next BS narrative? I can’t wait for the haters to go nuts in their responses to this post. The ad hominem attacks, the profanity, the hate - that is the way you roll. Are you capable of fact based, civil discourse? Most unlikely. Or will you just embarrass yourselves because you can’t be polite. It will be my pleasure to block every single one of you. The X audience will delight in your display of hate and ignorance This will be glorious.
George Noble@gnoble79

Well, that escalated quickly. Number no go up no more. Digital gold they said. Store of value they said. Medium of exchange they said. So much for the stock to flow model. It always about narrative and momentum. You were warned. Have fun getting poor. $BTC #Bitcoin

.@andyjschoonover, CEO, @JoinCrowdHealth: If you have the buyer and the seller of healthcare both wanting the price to go up, Guess what?, the price is going up. ...With really no kind of counter forces to drive these these prices down, you don't have any participant in the market who's trying to drive prices down and therefore we just have runaway healthcare inflation.

@andyjschoonover @JoinCrowdHealth @nicknorwitz when you see 2,000 patients per year and 98% of them dont work via diet/exercise to manage chol, it becomes the norm to view statins as the answer. im sure if you asked cardiology what other options there were, they would be happy to discuss diet/exercise

Someone asked, "Does cardiology really have an LDL obsession?" I messaged them this tweet. While most cardiologists would not be so imprecise with their language, the fact that this position exists at all is an intellectual, scientific, and medical embarrassment.

Cardiology Has an LDL Obsession. What to Measure Instead... 🔗New video: youtu.be/-aX3-QXLzoA 👇1 min clip on LDL vs Insulin Resistance The landscape of atherosclerosis is changing. New drugs are lowering LDL, total cholesterol and ApoB lower and lower, while larger risk factors like insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes persist. If you want a comparison, lipoprotein insulin resistance score (LP-IR). Because 1.0 is risk neutral, insulin resistance score is a more than 14X more powerful predictor of new coronary heart disease than LDL. But we know who gets all the attention. Answer: [See Clip] That’s not proportional medicine Do you agree? For more nuances see the video linked above. cc @BenBikmanPhD @realDaveFeldman

We are getting caught up in semantics. I’ve been to two cardiologists in the last 4 years and both wanted to put me on statins. Of course they aren’t celebrating it but they sure as hell rely upon it to “solve” the problem. Neither of them talked about lifestyle. Probably not the doctors fault but surely a product our system, and the influence of pharma on the health associations and legislators

@JoinCrowdHealth @nicknorwitz I work in medicine, I can’t think of one professional that is just itching to get people on statins. This whole culture of blaming doctors for wanting to treat high cholesterol is laughable. The problem is 98% of people are fat and unmotivated, and therefore need the statin.

GOP Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger @RepHarshbarger, who represents a rural district in Tennessee, asked UnitedHealthCare @UnitedHealthGrp CEO Stephen Hemsley about his company's large share of the rural market, which is essentially a monopoly. This has led to local pharmacies closing, which empowers PBMs, the pharmacies owned by insurance companies. Hemsley didn’t address Harshbarger's valid and important questions, leading her to ask for his answers in writing. UnitedHealth's PAC has donated to numerous congressional Democrats and congressional Democrat entities, including the @dccc. It is clear President Trump and Congressional Republicans support competition while elected Democrats want ObamaCare monopolies to remain in place at the expense of the American people and their healthcare needs.

@andyjschoonover @mcuban @GeBaiDC Or is it just that Medicaid/Medicare are the most consistent payers, without drastic changes in policy or rates year to year? Cause I'll be honest with ya, I lose money with every Medicaid/Medicare pt I see when compared with major med.

For any hospital that says they lose money on Medicare/caid patients, I would LOVE to see the bill of materials and direct overhead attributed to the procedures you lose money on How much you pay for that hip implant, the anesthesia, disposables, the doctors/nurses etc, for the period of time they are working on that hip replacement. The same for any operations or procedures It's crazy that I can't find that information ANYWHERE Please show me how you lose money on Direct Costs at Medicare or Medicaid rates , then we can discuss the value of all the consultants , paintings , beautiful buildings , etc contribute to your inability to make money on the Medies I even bought and went through hospital cost accounting text books and found no real numbers 😂
Aileen Ahiskali@ailley_

Unless you serve primarily Medicare/Medicaid patients and your hospital loses money on every single admission. We charge whatever we want, doesn’t mean we’ll actually get anything. Our safety net hospital is fighting to keep its doors open because others take advantage.
