As a trauma surgeon I have seen so many horror stories from elderly patients using anticoagulants such as Eloquis, Xarelto and others - I see brain bleeds, hemorrhagic stroke, retroperitoneal bleeding…. But I know that although I may see 10 of these patients every time I am on call…. There are millions of others where these medications have saved lives, prevented stroke, prevented embolization and infarcts and many other beneficial effects. As a physician any patients with a bariatric complication will contact you because you are their doctor- realize you are the front line and you see the complications- we must rely on data and studies that give a big picture that is more accurate than opinion.

Bariatric surgery and GLP-1ra medications used together have an additive effect. This is “the secret sauce” of obesity treatment and long-term control. To think that one treatment should be considered only for a patient sacrifices the chance to achieve the greatest success.
Neil Floch MD@NeilFlochMD

There is a 38% less likelihood of mortality with bariatric surgery than with GLP-ra treatment. #ASMBS2026 as presented by Dr Ali Arminian

Someone can certainly *make* a billion dollars. That’s not the same thing as earning. Growing fast and disrupting markets also often means chasing and wielding market power, political influence, and scale. Take Airbnb. They heavily lobby politicians against passing housing laws to protect working class residents because it’s bad for their business model. Airbnb could not exist at its current scale and size without the housing market destabilizations, displacements, and exploits that are supercharging the evictions of working people everywhere from Puerto Rico to Jackson Hole. Now young people are planning for a future where they will never be able to afford to own a home while others have 20 and live off renting it out to them at extortionate rates with zero protections. Yes, a tiny amount of people can make billions of dollars doing that. And millions of everyday Americans are bearing the cost.

Sure you can earn a billion dollars. I've been teaching people how to do it for 20 years. The way you do it is to start a company that grows fast. You don't have to do anything bad to make a company grow fast. You just have to make something people want. paulgraham.com/ace.html

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET. Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time. 5 minutes before Trump's post. Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer? This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

🚨 Pete Buttigieg nails it: “In a country that amended the Constitution to ban beer… then fixed it when we realized it was dumb… surely we can amend it again to say corporations aren’t people and money isn’t speech.” Translation: We corrected Prohibition. We can correct Citizens United. Democracy shouldn’t be for sale.
