@DrJoelGator It's called getting older, pal.

you can’t tell me this isn’t a Starting QB

[Joe @JosephB987654]

@Hamncheze22 @Osint613 Yes. It seems that they don't fully comprehend our political structure here in the US. Trump was (ignorantly) trying to make a deal to save the election. That's lost now so there is no longer a deal to be made. But he's still in charge for 2 years. That leaves one alternative...

[Joe @JosephB987654]

@ElectionWiz No, it's definately not. It's weakness on Iran with a side of tarrifs. Why in the hell did Trump think that he could negotiate with terrorists? He should have ended them in June once and for all instead of dragging this out. I like Trump but bad decision there.

500 Milhões de Europeus, esperam que 300 Milhões de Americanos os protejam contra 120 Milhões de Russos que nem conseguem derrotar 40 Milhões de Ucranianos enquanto, não percebem, que estão a ser invadidos por 2000 milhões de Muçulmanos que se dizem perseguidos por 9 milhões de Israelitas!

Elon Musk made a bunch of money the last few years and commie Bernie says "gee, I wonder why"

Um...Elon's landing rocket ships backwards and building flying cars, you stupid communist. I know you've never built anything, you've only ever worked for government, but Elon not only makes cool shit, he also directly employs over 160,000 people, and God knows how many people make a living using his work product. How many people have you employed in your life, Bernard? What have you built? You've never produced anything of value in your entire impotent life...gee, I wonder why?

Armed guards at the door. Opioids offered on repeat. Apple Pay at my bedside. Welcome to the American Emergency Room.
The French think it bankrupts you. Americans think France does it for free. I’ve been to the ER in both. Both are wrong.

Mountain bike crash, dislocated and fractured shoulder. I’m French, I live in San Francisco, and I take slightly too many risks. Let’s compare.

Security

🇺🇸 Kaiser in Marin. Three armed guards and a metal detector. My phone set it off, so with my shoulder out of its socket I walked through again. And again. Then a pat-down.
🇫🇷 A couple of unarmed guys with walkie-talkies. Still not sure what they’re for.

Wait

🇺🇸 Three people in the waiting room. Seen in 15 to 30 minutes.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: packed room, 4 hours before anyone touched me.

Records

🇺🇸 Kaiser is vertically integrated. Insurer, hospital, doctors: one system. They had my file before I sat down.
🇫🇷 Every new doctor is a fresh context window. Zero history, maybe a printout from last time.

Infrastructure

🇺🇸 Small hospital, serious kit. Straight to the trauma bay: real bed, IV, vitals monitoring, ready for surgery if needed. All imaging on the spot.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: a plastic chair and a Doliprane.

Drugs

🇺🇸 Strong opioids were the default offer. I said no. They insisted. The doctor came in personally, confused why someone in that much pain would refuse. I stuck to Tylenol, an anti-inflammatory, to put the shoulder back in.
Yes, it hurt. No, I didn’t tap out. My mom is proud of me.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: Doliprane, opioids never mentioned. I have friends who got their shoulder popped back in with nothing at all.
US default: opioids. French default: Doliprane.

Bill

🇺🇸 Every nurse warned me: “You’re French, this bill is going to traumatize you.”
Before discharge, someone came to my bed to collect payment. Apple Pay, from the hospital bed. $300. For everything. On a ~$500/month Kaiser plan.
🇫🇷 A flat ~€20 ER fee, usually reimbursed by your mutuelle. The real bill shows up later, on your payslip (see below)

followup

🇺🇸 Kaiser called me right after to set up follow-up and physio, all in their system. So far, so good.
🇫🇷 Broken hand: discharged, figure it out yourself. A friend dislocated her finger. They put it back in wrong, sent her home with bad instructions, it locked up, and she needed surgery months later. Still not fixed.

“Free healthcare” in France

It’s not free when your marginal tax rate nears 70% with social charges. And if you want quality care fast, more and more people pay for private clinics anyway.

Verdict

One person, one data point. But the care was 10x better than anything I’ve had in France, for a price that’s completely fine.

France has a lot to learn.

And yes, I refused the narcotics to stay sharp enough to launch a NanoCorp from my hospital bed. Launch your first company run by an AI agent: nanocorp .so

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen.

I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.

And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.

@1ChartMaster Got this one. Thanks!!

Import 3rd world, become 3rd world. What is happening in France is a direct result of weak leadership. Deport them all.

I don’t often write about myself, but today I shared something deeply personal: my experience fighting cancer while continuing to do a job I love.

Cancer tried to make my world smaller. I was determined not to let it.

I am incredibly grateful to be cancer-free, and even more grateful for President Trump, my family, friends, colleagues, medical team and faith that carried me through the hardest days.

I hope sharing my story might offer some strength to even one person still in the fight.

@1ChartMaster Thanks for what you do. You got this on my radar and I watched it for a while. Then I noticed what looked like a VCP pattern inside of the HTF. What more can a T/A trader ask for? So I bought it and I'm up 38% and counting. I will never un-see that pattern again.

[@jason @Jason]

If Tesla spent $25m a year in advertising with ABC, this headline would read:

"Drunk 27-year-old arrested after fleeing the scene of a car crash that resulted in a woman dying."

Have you ever read a news story about a DWI that started with:

'A Toyota crashed..."

or

'A Hyundai crashed.. "

Nope.

I’m a retired brain surgeon and I wanna tell you why you feel like life is passing by. I just need one minute to explain this to you so hang in there.

Repetitive daily routines stop the brain from recording clear detailed memories. When every day looks the same, your brain does not track time the same as a clock does. It tracks change. If nothing new happens then days, months, and years start to blur together.

This is know as Time compression. When life lacks variety, your brain compresses past days together, making it feel like time is sped up.

To stop feeling like life is passing you by, add new experiences to your life. Break routine habits, like changing your daily home routine, taking a different route to work, or trying a new hobby.

Schedule small trips or plan new adventures so your days do not blend together.

Practice mindfulness by staying fully focused on what you are doing right now and not trying to race off to the next task.

Keep a journal and write down happy memories or memorable parts of the day before you go to sleep.

Take deep, calm breaths when you feel anxious or rushed to return your focus to the moment.

You can and you will retrain your brain to not feel like life is passing you by by following these few simple measures.
