"We don't have a documented process today, so there's nothing to discover."

The opposite is true. An undocumented process isn't the absence of complexity. It's complexity that's invisible, individually interpreted, and inconsistently run.

That's a harder discovery problem...

A vendor's implementation methodology is built to deploy the vendor's product.

Not to map your processes, surface your integration dependencies. or find the gap between how you operate and how the system expects you to.

They know their product. They don't know your org.

Discovery is the first line item cut from every project plan.

No demos. No dashboards. Nothing that looks like progress.

So it gets cut to "save time."

You don't save the cost of discovery. You defer it — at many times the price.

When you actually read the Big Beautiful Bill “Cuts to Medicaid” you’ll realize every Democrat and mainstream media outlet is lying through their teeth

No American would ever be against any of this, here are the facts

“Here is just the first page of the cuts:

-Cut number 1, saving $35 billion over 10 years. Limit federal health program eligibility based on citizenship status.

That's just saying that people who are here illegally don't get to use Medicaid. It's something you have told us isn't happening anyway, so you obviously agree with that cut.

- Cut number 2, eliminate Medicare coverage of bad debt, saving 42 billion over 10 years. Do you know what bad debt is? You probably don't, so let me explain it to you.

Bad debt is where you have a debt with a hospital beyond what your coverage pays. So like let's say you have private health insurance. Now, your health insurance is going to pay their piece and then you have your leftover piece. Now if you don't pay that, that is what's known as bad debt. Now under no circumstances will your private health insur cover your bad debt.

However, if you have Medicaid, the American taxpayer will cover up to 65% of that debt. Now, how hospitals use that to their advantage is they up the prices for people on Medicaid, therefore making that bad debt increase dramatically and the American taxpayer pays 65% of it. All this would say is that we're not going to do that anymore. Therefore hospitals can't charge more for people on Medicaid because they're not going to make any extra money from it. Who the is opposed to that?

- Cut number 3: Next Medicare site neutrality set to save $148 billion over the 10 years. That one's actually really simple. All that says is the hospitals can't charge people on Medicare and Medicaid more. It just says they have to charge people on Medicare and Medicaid the same prices they charge people on private health insurance or cash. Is there anyone who's opposed to that? No, I didn't think so.

Now, from just those 3, we're looking at $200 plus billion dollars in savings.

Now, I imagine if I said we're going to cut $200 billion for Medicaid, y' all would freak the out. However, when you do a little bit of research, when you actually look into the topic that you're bitching about, making tiktoks about, you can see that. That $200 billion worth of cuts you agree with, Like, I just showed you one quarter of all the cuts they want to make.

And here's the thing. If you remotely have f*cking common sense, you don't disagree with any of them.“

RFK Jr. just walked into Congress and set the place on fire.

They were not ready for this.

Rep. Dingell thought she had Kennedy cornered on drug prices—then he dismantled her argument in one fell swoop.

But the real firestorm came when he called out the one Democrat Rep. who took more Big Pharma money than anyone else on the committee.

@WarDamnStool @CoachHughFreeze please get a QB out of the portal this year…

[Hayden Watson @TheHaydenWatson]

Evening one wasn’t as successful as the last two years, but it was a beautiful one. Blessed to be out here enjoying God’s country.

[Hayden Watson @TheHaydenWatson]

I think it goes without saying, the failure to get a true QB out of the portal this year is very haunting for Freeze. Not going to win many games when your offense can only put 10 points on the board. @AuburnFootball #auburnfootball #notouryear

Some days just suck… job sucks… life sucks…

But (in the words of @jockowillink) “Good”

The suck is just an opportunity to grow, to build, to change
