@arlenparsa Yes AOC supposedly has a degree in Economics but I question if she learned anything based her frequent statements. It’s like she skipped all those classes where they talked about Supply, Demand, Utility, Monetary Policy and the importance of Price Signals.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

Based on the latest data, Tesla deliveries this quarter are expected to come in between 360,000 and 390,000 units. I’ll tweet my final estimate on the last day of the quarter, as usual.

Cassidy is the lead pro- LGBTQ, abortion, euthanasia, big government Democrat in the Illinois House. No surprise she wants to handcuff law enforcement. Facial recognition must be regulated but can be used responsibly.
CWBChicago@CWBChicago

A state politician presses ahead with efforts to ban police from using facial recognition to identify unknown violent criminals — even after CPD used the technology to help ID the man who killed a Loyola student in her district. cwbchicago.com/2026/03/legisl…

Virginia election officials just ordered 133 localities NOT to show voters the new redistricting map before they vote on it. Read that again. They are literally hiding the map from you while asking you to approve it. Here is what they don’t want you to see 🧵👇 #VApol #Virginia #politics #Gerrymander #VirginiaPolitics #VoteNo

@CityJournal We are nowhere close to the technology that will allow us to Quit Oil. Not that we shouldn’t be working towards it but we are a long way from an Oil Free economy.

This healthcare mess is not a shortage. It’s a managed workforce pretending to be a profession. The US of A did not run out of doctors. We stripped them of ownership, buried them in administration, and handed pricing power to the people who bill them. $300–500K in debt. 30 patients a day. Five minutes per chart. Insurance approval on clinical decisions. It is assembly line labor with a medical license. And training more of it won’t fix it. Here’s what happened: While physicians were in lecture halls and call rooms, health systems, insurers, and administrators were in boardrooms. They consolidated. They lobbied. They bribed lawmakers. They captured regulation. Doctors stayed fragmented and called it independence. It was a fatal economic error. The exodus continues until physicians organize the way every other actor with leverage does: as owners. Until then, “shortage” is polite language for what this actually is, a workforce replacement strategy.
Jesse Morse, M.D.@DrJesseMorse

There is a massive shortage in physicians in the United States. Look at the wait times, the office visit appointment times and how poorly Americans are doing health-wise despite claiming that we have the best healthcare system in the world (we don’t). The better question is: Why aren’t more students in the US seeing a career in medicine and wanting to become a doctor? Here’s my 2 cents: First off how many are smart enough to get into medical school? Not many. Out of them that qualify, how many of them wants to go to school for 14 years AFTER high school. Even fewer. You essentially have to give up all your 20s and most of 30s before you can ‘start’ your career. Meanwhile all of your friends that didn’t choose medicine are 6-10 years into their career and already established. Retirement accounts have a nice lump sum growing, family started, first home purchased and minimal/paid off school debt. On the other hand, medical students will be in $300-500k in debt that they haven’t even begun to pay it down in their mid-30s. Enjoy paying $2-4k a month for then next 10-15 years ‘just’ for education. That’s not for your mortgage, your car, insurance, etc Finally when you graduate from residency and/or fellowship, you get the privilege to be told to see 25-50 patients a day. 5-15 minutes per patient. Enough today hi and then quickly diagnose their issue likely missing plenty of things because the clock is ticking. Don’t forget about the 5-10 minutes per patient that you have to spend on notes. Once you finish your plan and recommendations for the patient, you get to ‘fight’ with the patient’s insurance company to cover said recommendations. Fun. The good news? You get to do it all over again tomorrow! You do this for 50-70 hours a week, barely seeing your family, having the time for exercise and enjoying the fruits of your labor. By the age of 45, still tens of thousands in debt, exhausted and barely being able to stay up to date on all the advancements in medicine you’re burned out. The medical education system is broken and I don’t know if there’s an easy fix. Maybe it’s AI. Hope you enjoy talking to an emotionless computer or robot. In the meantime, appreciate the doctors while they’re still here and willing to help. Before long there won’t be many of us left.

@techAU The Kiwis are almost out of Gasoline & Diesel and electricity is in short supply. Hope they have solar to recharge those cars.

I hope this works out.. 51 seems like a more reasonable test of the market than the Hertz experiment.

@tonywendice1954 I love "The Adventures of Robin Hood." Introduced my kids to it when they were little and they loved it. They wanted to know who that guy was while watching "Rabbit Hood."

I still believe it's because Trump beat their anointed savior Hillary Clinton. Hillary was going to take Obama's policies up to 11. Trump killed all that & continues to undo much of what Obama & Biden did. Worse yet, he's keeps exposing how out of touch they are on one 80/20 issue after another.

You can use the puppets and you can explain it to me like I am five years old and I still will never understand why people have and will continue to lose their ever loving minds about Donald Trump.

@tonywendice1954 Once again take a property with a huge fanbase, rework it so it barely resembles what made it popular, then complain when the fans walk away. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

@emzanotti Depends upon the degree. They are a lot of College majors that are a waste of money. Few in those fields ever make good money. Stem fields usually do.
