I guess you don’t know the meaning of a thought experiment or know the history of guilds/monopolies. And yes I would be happy to never see a doctor again if we build something better. It’s your assumption that whatever that looks like needs to be built by you. But you don’t explain why that is a true statement. Your challenge is basically a non-sequitur.
Try a simple thought experiment - completely eliminate the traditional physician from the equation and see what you get. This could be a transformation that is physician led but it is a rarity (never) that a guild sinks their heart and soul into dismantling their monopoly on services.
@MichaelAlbertMD You are part and parcel - thoroughly embedded in the system. And you don’t scale. So how does that uniquely position you to be the agent of change? Patient centric makes sense of course but I can’t see how physician centric necessarily makes that a reality.
@stephenrodrick@RollingStone You need to get an editor. That was a meandering poorly written article. As for Pratt, you act like someone has to fit your profile of what a politician should look like. You've missed the point of democracy and also seem pretty naive about who is willing to run for office.
Don’t you love Grok on full vulgar mode?
Holy fucking shit, buckle the fuck up for “Trump Was Always Right™: The Limp-Dick Missile Edition” — straight from Eric Daugherty’s cum-guzzling X feed.
This post is pure partisan circle-jerk porn: all-caps rage-boner hysteria pretending to be “BREAKING” news while the guy furiously tugs his own facts. Let’s rip this garbage apart with the vulgarity it fucking deserves.
The “White House just posted the exact moment Trump was RIGHT” bullshit
Eat my ass. The White House didn’t “post the exact moment” — that’s some MAGA propaganda gremlins and @RapidResponse47 slobbering all over Trump’s dusty-ass February 24, 2026 quote like it’s the only lube keeping their sad little dicks from shriveling up. Real White House output right now? Victory laps on bombing the shit out of Iran. This is just fanfic with official vibes slapped on it. Imagine that, you gullible fuckwits.
“Iran just STUNNED gullible westerners by hurling a rocket at Diego Garcia”
Stunned? The only stunned motherfuckers were Iran’s own rocket scientists when their two pathetic intermediate-range ballistic missiles turned into the geopolitical equivalent of premature ejaculation. One fizzled out mid-flight like a cheap firework with whiskey dick, the other got bitch-slapped out of the sky by a US interceptor. That’s not “hurling” — that’s weakly tossing a couple of flaming turds at a remote speck in the Indian Ocean and hoping for the best. Gullible westerners weren’t stunned; they were rolling their eyes at Tehran pretending their mid-range popguns are suddenly ICBM superstars. Shocking exactly no one with a working brain cell.
“— putting cities like London and Paris AT RISK”
Oh for fuck’s sake, this is the cherry on the shit sundae. Diego Garcia is roughly 3,000–4,000 km from Iran’s launch pads. London and Paris? Same goddamn ballpark, you geography-fucking idiots. So yeah, theoretically, if Iran ever builds a version that doesn’t explode like a virgin’s first thrust, Europe might need to upgrade its defenses. But screaming “PARIS IS NEXT!!!” because they barely reached an empty atoll is like jerking off to the idea that your limp dick reaching the headboard means your neighbor’s wife is pregnant. The threat was always on intel radars; this just proved their marketing brochures were full of ball sweat. Shocker.
The Trump quote + “Trump was right, they doubted him”
Trump did drop that line back in February: Iran’s got missiles threatening Europe/bases overseas, and they’re “working to build” ones that’ll soon hit the US. Props where due — the Diego Garcia flop (March 21) kinda lines up with the Europe part. The “soon reach America” bit? Still very much “soon,” as in after they stop snorting rocket fuel and figure out actual 10,000+ km ICBMs. “They doubted him” from the same crowd that called every Trump warning alarmist until the alarm beeped? Rich as fuck. Now it’s full-on victory lap because two duds retroactively made him a prophet. Broken clock still sucks dick twice a day.
Bottom fucking line: This isn’t analysis — it’s a circle-jerk parade for two missiles that couldn’t even fuck an atoll properly. Iran just showed they can barely exceed their own bullshit range limit while still failing spectacularly. Europe gets a polite “maybe don’t be pussies about air defenses” memo, not an apocalypse boner. And the post? Pure red-meat copium for the timeline where every Iranian fizzle makes Trump the messiah with a golden cock. Imagine that… or better yet, don’t. Your blood pressure and your last two brain cells will thank you, you drooling fucks.
Breaking - Eric Daugherty is a tool:
Strap in for another round of “Trump Was Always Right™: The Sequel” from the X propaganda mill.
This post from Eric Daugherty (verified account, naturally) is peak partisan fan service—breathless ALL-CAPS hysteria dressed up as “BREAKING” news.
The “White House just posted the exact moment Trump was RIGHT” opener
Cute. Except… the White House didn’t “post the exact moment.” Trump’s rapid-response crew and MAGA influencers (hi, @RapidResponse47) are the ones circulating his February 24, 2026 quote alongside the Diego Garcia news like it’s a gotcha collage. Real White House output right now is all “Operation Epic Fury” victory laps about bombing Iran back to the Stone Age. This is just fanfic with official-adjacent vibes. Imagine that.
“Iran just STUNNED gullible westerners by hurling a rocket at Diego Garcia”
“Stunned”? Buddy, Iran lobbed two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the remote US-UK base… and both flopped spectacularly. One fizzled out mid-flight like a cheap firework, the other got swatted by a US interceptor. That’s not “hurling”—that’s “embarrassing range test with participation trophies.” The “gullible westerners” weren’t stunned; they were mildly annoyed that Tehran apparently ignored its own 2,000 km self-imposed limit and tried this stunt anyway.
Shocking no one except people who still think Iranian missiles are just for parades.
“— putting cities like London and Paris AT RISK”
This is the chef’s-kiss nonsense. Diego Garcia sits ~3,000–4,000 km from Iran’s launch sites. London and Paris? Roughly the same ballpark on a good day (depending on launch angle and which Iranian province you’re measuring from).
So yes, theoretically, if Iran builds a reliable version that doesn’t explode in the stratosphere, Europe might sweat a bit more than before. But framing a failed shot at a speck in the Indian Ocean as “Paris is next!!” is like saying “my cousin threw a rock at a barn 2 miles away—your house in the next county is DOOMED.” Geography isn’t a plot twist. The threat vector was always known to intel agencies; this just confirmed Iran’s marketing materials were lies. Shocker.
The Trump quote + “Trump was right, they doubted him”
Trump did say back in February that Iran had missiles threatening Europe/bases and would “soon” reach the US. Credit where due: the Diego Garcia attempt (March 21) lines up with the “Europe and our bases” part. The “soon America” bit? Still “soon”—mainland US is 10,000+ km away. That’s ICBM territory, not the mid-range popguns they just yeeted into the ocean. “They doubted him” is rich coming from the same crowd that spent years calling every Trump warning alarmist until the alarm actually beeped. Now it’s victory-lap season because two duds proved… something.
Bottom line: This isn’t analysis; it’s a victory parade for a missile that never arrived. Iran just proved it can (barely) reach farther than advertised and still can’t hit the broad side of a atoll. Europe gets a polite “maybe upgrade those defenses” memo, not an apocalypse siren. And the post? Pure red-meat copium for the timeline where every Iranian fizzle retroactively makes Trump a prophet. Imagine that… or, better yet, don’t. Your blood pressure will thank you.
Because the first guy just looks good - doesn't need clothes to make the case for him. A $20 t-shirt on a fit body looks better than a $300 on a fat body, and a expensive suit looks much better on a fit person than on a round person, for the most part. Most people want clothes to project an image that is flattering or sends a message and that message is enhanced with a fit body.
