If you're a senior burdened by housing costs: $1,200
If you have a $2M+ estate: ~$99,000

@smithhmackenzie Just because it worked for you doesn’t mean it’ll work for others. Some people require meds for mental health. This is dangerous

[Katie McCormack @ktxmac]

@smithhmackenzie This depends on what you are training for and what you are doing. Did you make this up or actually look into the data and science?

[Katie McCormack @ktxmac]

@RyanMarino You KNOW she doesn’t have any background in nutrition ir exercise science haha

[Katie McCormack @ktxmac]

@smithhmackenzie What is your background? Did you go to college? Are you a dietician or nutritionist?

[Katie McCormack @ktxmac]

@smithhmackenzie Medications save lives. What is your training? Did you go to college?

The Northern Atlantic Ocean is heating up so rapidly that it is literally, nearly off the charts. Pay heed. This is well beyond record-breaking.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The regulators were there until SVB lobbied Congress to remove the guardrails that prevent this kind of crisis in the first place.

Warnings were everywhere. SVB, like many gamblers before them, knew what they were doing. Let the FDIC open the books & see what it’s working with.

So the world’s richest people are screaming for taxpayers to bail them out because they crushed their own favorite bank, which was so badly run that it couldn’t get in front of the most clearly telegraphed interest-rate move ever.

The only possible response is: fuck that shit.

Real story:
Former McKinsey who made 230k$/year gets 3M in VC fund to start a business.

The business: Charge 6000$/year to insanely rich people to help them plan vacations and birthday parties.

Feel bad story: debunked.

@DrLeslie_MD Ahh! That makes total sense. I also get what you’re saying about ppl assuming it’s “all the hormones” and that some diet or supplement is going to work. Thank you so much for explaining it to me 😊 it’s something I always wondered about

[Katie McCormack @ktxmac]

@DrLeslie_MD As a patient, I’m curious …with PCOS my hormones are not balanced. It took a lot to get taken seriously and I’m wondering why asking this question would not be correct?

This should really mark the end of the “benevolent billionaire” myth. Not only did Musk pay $44 billion for Twitter when he could’ve ended starvation globally with that money, he also has already literally backed out of a $6 billion promise to the UN to help solve world hunger.

[sarah @sablaah]

omg thanks for ending the meeting 4 minutes early and "giving me some time back" -- now I can finally pursue my passions

[Katie McCormack @ktxmac]

@AmandaRaganDD @socio_melissa Exactly and the information I have learned I’ve either learned on my own or learned from EDS groups.

[Katie McCormack @ktxmac]

@socio_melissa Also “encouraging to ask questions” is complex with EDS patients bc we HAVE asked questions and been overlooked and not listened to, that’s why it takes so long to diagnose. There is medical trauma present in many. I would talk to EDS patients next time

[Katie McCormack @ktxmac]

@socio_melissa even if these things happen, medical care is not coordinated and there is no standard of care/checking for broader issues.

[Katie McCormack @ktxmac]

@socio_melissa I mean these three points are what should be done on a very basic level. Any EDS patient can tell you these three conclusions with out research. It would be useful to collect data from EDS patients about top issues esp as seeing one of the major issues is (1/2)
