This isn’t just a scary headline—it’s a signal that the U.S. is entering a phase of structural fiscal stress. While markets may not react immediately, the long-term risks are real: slower growth, tighter credit, and more fragile investor sentiment.
@VerizonSupport@Clint782511 My credit card was charged for security deposit as well as installation charge on the day of appointment schedule.
Now it is charged for monthly service charge. I do not have even any response from Verizon of status of installation.
I am very disappointed.
@VerizonSupport@Clint782511 Hi Dameon
Thanks for quick response. On scheduled date of installation technician showed up but did not want get involved in required installation work required. He left with mention of someone will follow up soon. It has been 4 weeks and no response from Verizon.
Board Certified OBGYN exposes what they must go through just to get one prescription approved by health insurance companies
“This is what doctors are dealing with in 2025. So my patient needs a medication, an indicated medication for her condition. So I send the prescription to the commercial pharmacy
- The pharmacist tells me that this medication needs a prior authorization and sends me a fax with a 1-800 number
- The 1-800 number leads me to a pharmacy benefit manager that wants to ask my npi, my date of birth, the patient's information, what kind of the prescription is, how long do they need it for. Only to tell me at the end of the phone call that I actually have to call the patient's insurance company to authorize the prior authorization for the needed medication
- So I call the patient's insurance company and once again, I have to verify my information, the patient's information, the prescription information, what the patient needs it for, only for the insurance company to tell me that this is not how they do prior authorization
- So they're going to have to fax me some forms that I'm not allowed to do a prior authorization on the phone
- So then the fax comes through and I fill it all out. The patient's information, my information, my npi, what the prescription is, how long they need it for, clinical documentation.
And now we sit and wait and see if the powers that be think that the patient actually needs the medication”
“I went to school. I went to undergraduate medical school, 4 years of OBGYN residency, then went back and did an integrative medicine fellowship, all for these people to dictate how my patient gets cared for.
Please know that your healthcare providers are fighting for you day in and day out on things we don't get reimbursed for.”

The stock market performance of our politicians is extraordinary. I am surprised they have not launched hedge funds on the side. They make Madoff look like a massive underperformer.

This is Babylon Village, New York
Mayor Mary Adams angrily tries to have a man speaking removed for just asking questions, she tells him “I’m not answering any questions”
She says “you’re in my house now” and demands he stops speaking and threatens his forced removal. She then tells the security he can’t even be in the building
The man is forced to hide behind the door even though he’s done nothing wrong and everyone there sides with him. Mayor Mary Adams then tells her security to call the police
Then Mayor Mary Adams repeatedly shuts down every resident who tries to talk or ask any questions
You are not governed, you are ruled.
🧵A senior portfolio manager gave me the best investing advice:
"Stop drowning in market noise. We only track 5 numbers that really matter."
Here's what they watch...👇
The city of New York pays $220 million to rent the entire Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house illegal migrants.
The hotel is owned by the government of Pakistan, and the deal was part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout package to help Pakistan avoid defaulting on their international debt.
Prior to this sweetheart deal, the hotel had been closed since 2020, having long-struggled with occupancy and in dire need of renovation.
