High-deductible barebones affordable policies for catastrophic illness or injury, with premiums priced on actuarial reality and lifestyle.

Cash for basic medical services, with price competition and correct market incentives for better service.

Free charity clinics and hospitals for truly poor and indigent people.

That’s it.

[FischerKing @FischerKing64]

Before Obamacare it was possible to buy health insurance that covered a catastrophic event (like cancer) and just pay out of pocket for a checkup. Obamacare means you have to pay more to subsidize all kinds of things that don’t impact you. And of course it has led to further consolidation in the industry.

It’s a little like how Dodd Frank supposedly reformed the financial industry but really just locked in the dominant positions of the largest banks - the only ones that could afford the compliance costs.

Any kind of big federal regulation that aims to ‘solve’ a problem usually just entrenches the largest players and makes life worse for normal people.

@NSKinsella Do lawyers really want to imply PhD "status," which at this point is vanishingly thin anyway?

@realJeremyCarl @RoKhanna They should protest the plummeting value of a Stanford CS degree.

Germany’s self-inflicted decline is pretty shocking. Energy prices are killing its industrial base.

This is a cautionary tale for the West about what happens when deeply unserious people are allowed to implement their fantasies.

"Germany should have properly applied the precautionary principle and not shutdown nuclear. And, although free markets are better than government fiat, some second best policy choices are better than others."

Could rules of physics apply to social sciences, i.e. flow theory? Is there a hard science explanation for the invisible hand and spontaneous order in human relations? Is social harmony created entirely by implicit human threats of force, or something more "natural" and fundamental?

You may not fully agree with Duke prof Adrian Bejan's "constructal law" but it's nice to see physics envy work in the other direction for once. And he's a big supporter of our friend of Bob Luddy & CaptiveAire.

Naked incuriosity coupled with wildly unwarranted moral certainty concerning who owes whom what.

An infantile worldview.

[Tom Woods @ThomasEWoods]

@OrevaZSN Leftists think being a moral person means standing around making demands, instead of learning a damn thing about how anything works so that their hopes might be realized. So they simply pile up mountains of corpses, but they're sure they're the moral ones

@FreddyLA7 You should have sent this during the match, any number of Auburn folks would have offered guest rooms!

This is the most “The European mind can’t comprehend this” moment of my life. One of my friends said, “Punch me five times tomorrow and I’ll still think this isn’t real.”

The #1 lesson of politics: there is no such thing as hypocrisy.

These kinds of theatrics scratch an itch, and I'll even admit they might have a very slow drip effect on normie attitudes.

But the Chip Roys of the world mostly obscure the simple fact that friend/enemy is the core advantage of the Left. The SPLC doesn't target Islamic groups because they are allies, simple as. The Left elevates, excuses, and defends its radicals.

[Bad Hombre @Badhombre]

SPLC President gets humiliated; room erupts in laughter.

Chip Roy: How many Islamic extremist groups do you have listed on your hate map out of the 1500 groups? I can’t seem to find one.

SPLC President: We don’t target groups based on their religion. It’s based on what they say about other people.

Chip Roy: You just mentioned anti-LGBT groups a minute ago. Is it your position that there are a bunch of pro-LGBT extremist Islamic groups?

@FischerKing64 Religions and sects should be judged by the real world actions of their adherents, not doctrinal texts or origin stories.

When real estate meets precious metals.

At Rebel Capitalist Live, our CRO @jeffdeist joined Russ Gray of The Real Estate Guys and precious metals expert Mike Maloney for an outstanding panel discussion.

The conversation bridged the gap between real assets, systemic monetary risk, and the strategies required for both wealth preservation and active growth in today's climate.

We were highly encouraged by the strong interest from attendees looking at gold through a new lens: not just as a defensive, static hedge, but as productive capital capable of generating real yield.

@peterboghossian I don't think anyone should have to abandon a major US city-- and a beautiful one at that-- simply because an apparent majority of residents have indefensible political views. Crazies should not rule.
