Alcohol has no single benefit. Zero. Not one.

[Jennifer Jones @jencocktail]

Still HailState though. Heck of a season

[Jennifer Jones @jencocktail]

Futility ad infinitum. The life of a State fan.

[Robbie Faulk @robbiefaulk1878]

Georgia goes 6-0 against State with five of those being decided by two runs or less. The only three run win was in extra innings.

@bryan_CTP Don't know that I've ever seen a 4 strike walk. Truly impressive.

[Jennifer Jones @jencocktail]

Ump should never ump again @NCAABaseball

[Jennifer Jones @jencocktail]

What did I say. That is a 4 strike walk.

Ump squeezing. The fix is in

[Jennifer Jones @jencocktail]

If our pitchers don't use a sports psychologist, they should. Need to get the mentals right.

PLEASE HELP SAVE PAULETTE GRIFFIN 💚

She is currently battling end-stage renal failure, and a living kidney donor is her best chance at more time with the people who love her.

Even if donating isn’t an option, you can still make a huge impact by sharing this post.

Read this and then go look at what they have done to the nursing home industry. They should be nowhere near Healthcare or the elderly.

[Felix Prehn 🐶 @felixprehn]

Private equity firms bought 500 hospitals. Death rates in their emergency rooms went up 13%. They fired 12% of the staff. Then they paid themselves billions in dividends.

A Harvard study just confirmed what doctors already knew: people are dying so investors can hit quarterly targets.

Exactly what happens. A PE firm buys a hospital using debt. The debt gets placed on the hospital's balance sheet, not the firm's. Now the hospital owes hundreds of millions it never borrowed. To service that debt, the hospital cuts costs. Costs mean nurses.

The numbers from the Harvard/University of Chicago study are horrifying. After PE acquisition, emergency department salary spending dropped 18.2%. ICU salary spending dropped 15.9%. Hospital-wide employees were cut 11.6%. Emergency department deaths rose 13%, seven additional deaths per 10,000 visits.

A separate study found patients undergoing surgery at PE-acquired hospitals had 17% higher odds of dying within 90 days.

Steward Health Care, owned by Cerberus Capital, filed bankruptcy with $9 billion in debt after closing hospitals across Massachusetts. The CEO lived on a $40 million yacht while emergency rooms went dark. Eight hospitals serving 2 million people nearly disappeared because a PE fund extracted more cash than the system could survive.

The private equity industry has poured over $1 trillion into healthcare. They operate a quarter of ERs nationwide. This isn't going away.

The investing angle nobody talks about.

Non-PE hospital operators like HCA Healthcare (HCA) and Tenet (THC) are the direct beneficiaries. Every time a PE hospital closes or deteriorates, patients flow to the nearest competitor. HCA has returned 1,200% since 2011. Patient volume from PE closures is a structural tailwind nobody's pricing in.

Medical staffing firms (AMN Healthcare, Cross Country) charge premium rates specifically because PE hospitals cut staff. The staffing shortage IS the business model for these companies.

The disruption play: outpatient surgical centers (SCA Health, now part of UnitedHealth) are pulling profitable procedures out of hospitals entirely. PE-owned hospitals lose their highest-margin surgeries to outpatient, and the death spiral accelerates.

Pull up tradevision and monitor healthcare M&A alerts, hospital closure filings, and patient volume migration data. When a PE-owned hospital announces "restructuring," the patient volume shift to competitors like HCA starts within 30 days. That 30-day window is when the competitor's earnings revisions haven't updated yet. Free to try.

(a private equity firm bought your local hospital. borrowed $500 million in the hospital's name. fired 12% of the nurses. emergency room deaths rose 13%. then they paid themselves dividends. nobody went to prison. they're currently buying another hospital.)

"Fans the next on 96 heat"

[Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt]

No matter who wins this game, it's a classic that I'll remember for a long time. MSU puts men at 2nd and 3rd with no out in B9. Easton Hawk gets a K with a hammer curve, intentionally walks a guy, fans the next on 96 heat, and gets superstar Ace Reese to ground out. Extras!
