When I first saw the TOS for MyChart Central’s Epic ID I was instantly concerned by this. The Lever had done an excellent write up: https://t.co/ANq9jMmdIQ…

Patients should not have to give up their right to hold those keeping their most sensitive data accountable.

Flying back from D.C. and just finished writing up my thoughts from the ASTP/ONC Information Blocking Session. https://t.co/SJ2kDci7EI #healthpolicy

This is absolutely the right take. Substack is leveraging writers to build a network, but much like we saw with Facebook, they will quickly discard the majority of them and lock them out of their audience.

Albertsons meanwhile has announced they're going to increase their dividend and buy back stock with their cash on hand; which shows just how much profit margin these companies were already making while independent. #kroger #Albertsons

Albertsons and Kroger merger is off! You love to see it!
My earlier newsletter on the merger is here for context on why that merger would have completely screwed consumers:

BREAKING: The FTC has announced the “click-to-cancel” rule that will require companies to let you cancel any product as easily as you registered.

Long, difficult cancelation processes will be illegal.

If you signed up with a click, they’ll have to let you cancel with a click.

#Kroger and #Albertsons are looking to become a single grocer in one of the largest changes to the access and costs of groceries in US history. What's missing from the discussion is a lot of this happened before, and we can learn a lot: https://t.co/f2nloYxrRr

My post is up on WWDC. Apple has changed the world from where where companies are going to pay monthly to use AI tools, to one where AI will just be a hardware upgrade cycle. And a Microsoft, Salesforce, and Google are going to be big losers. https://t.co/8YqbgBLXW1 #wwdc24 #ai

That's 50% more just for the item price, PLUS their service fee (another 5%, which does not go to the shopper).

Instacart massively compounds the problem of grocery inflation. I don't think people would keep using Instacart if they realized they were paying 50% more.

Just compared the price of an 8pk of La Croix at Fred Meyer (3/$10 for in-store or pickup) against the price of ordering that same pack of La Croix on Instacard from Fred Meyer ($5 each).
